This paper considers the problem of fingerprinting localization in wireless networks based on received-signal-strength (RSS) observations. First, the performance of static localization using power maps (PMs) is improved with a new approach called the base-station-strict (BS-strict) methodology, which emphasizes the effect of BS identities in the classical fingerprinting. Second, dynamic motion models with and without road network information are used to further improve the accuracy via particle filters. The likelihood-calculation mechanism proposed for the particle filters is interpreted as a soft version (called BS-soft) of the BS-strict approach applied in the static case. The results of the proposed approaches are illustrated and compared with an example whose data were collected from a WiMAX network in a challenging urban area in the capitol city of Brussels, Belgium.

Robot end-effector based sensor integration for tracking moving parts Konukseven, Erhan İlhan (2000-08-31) This paper presents a cost-efficient end-effector based infrared proximity sensor integration system and the implementation of fuzzy-logic control algorithm.
Fingerprint classification through self-organizing feature maps modified to treat uncertainties Halıcı, Uğur (1996-10-01) In this paper, a neural network structure based on Self Organizing Feature Maps (SOM) is proposed for fingerprint classification. In order to be able to deal with fingerprint images having distorted regions, the SOM learning and classification algorithms are modified. For this purpose, the concept of ''certainty'' is introduced and used in the modified algorithms. This fingerprint classifier together with a fingerprint identifier, constitute subsystems of an automated fingerprint identification system named...
Reachability analysis using proximity based automata Kapinski, Jim; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Krogh, Bruce (2004-01-01) This paper introduces proximity based automata (PBA) to perform reachability analysis for discrete-time, continuous-state systems. The notion of proximity of states in the continuous valued state space is used to evaluate the response of the system efficiently. A PBA is constructed using ellipsoidal techniques and tools for solving optimization problems constrained by linear matrix inequalities. Several empirical studies demonstrate how trade-offs between conservativeness and computational complexity can be...
AN APPROXIMATE SOLUTION FOR THE RESEQUENCING PROBLEM IN PACKET-SWITCHING NETWORKS BILGEN, S; ALTINTAS, O (1994-02-01) An approximation heuristic is proposed for solving the heterogeneous multi-server queueing problem associated with the analysis of resequencing of packets travelling over multiple physical links to a packet-switching network. Even though a method for obtaining the exact solution exists, its processing time and memory requirements vary exponentially in terms of the number of servers and render it infeasible even for moderately-sized systems. Precision of the proposed approximatio...
Hierarchical multitasking control of discrete event systems: Computation of projections and maximal permissiveness Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Cury, José E.r. (null; 2010-12-01) This paper extends previous results on the hierarchical and decentralized control of multitasking discrete event systems (MTDES). Colored observers, a generalization of the observer property, together with local control consistency, allow to derive sufficient conditions for synthesizing modular and hierarchical control that are both strongly nonblocking (SNB) and maximally permissive. A polynomial procedure to verify if a projection fulfills the above properties is proposed and in the case they fail for a g...
