This paper introduces the completed part of an ongoing research, in which a Petri Net-based design inference network is developed for the representation and analysis of the functions and their interrelationships through information flow for the conceptual design stage of mechatronic systems in order to facilitate design automation. The theoretical framework behind the network is based on transition of Hybrid Automata into Petri Nets and application of this framework is introduced by a mechatronic design example.

A Petri net approach to behavioural simulation of design artefacts with application to mechatronic design
Erden, Z; Erden, A; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref (2003-02-01)
A Petri net-based design inference network (PNDN) architecture is presented in this paper. The network models the logical behaviour of any design artefact developed by designers at the conceptual design level by representing the subfunctions and their inter-relationships to perform a required overall function. The theoretical framework in developing the PNDN is based on the improved theory of Petri nets and hybrid automata. The theoretical PNDN architecture was implemented in a C++ based software called the...
A temporal neural network model for constructing connectionist expert system knowledge bases
Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (Elsevier BV, 1996-04-01)
This paper introduces a temporal feedforward neural network model that can be applied to a number of neural network application areas, including connectionist expert systems. The neural network model has a multi-layer structure, i.e. the number of layers is not limited. Also, the model has the flexibility of defining output nodes in any layer. This is especially important for connectionist expert system applications.
A finite field framework for modeling, analysis and control of finite state automata
Reger, Johann; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (Informa UK Limited, 2004-09-01)
In this paper, we address the modeling, analysis and control of finite state automata, which represent a standard class of discrete event systems. As opposed to graph theoretical methods, we consider an algebraic framework that resides on the finite field F-2 which is defined on a set of two elements with the operations addition and multiplication, both carried out modulo 2. The key characteristic of the model is its functional completeness in the sense that it is capable of describing most of the finite st...
A Framework for Machine Vision based on Neuro-Mimetic Front End Processing and Clustering
Akbaş, Emre; ECKSTEIN, Miguel; MADHOW, Upamanyu (2014-10-03)
Convolutional deep neural nets have emerged as a highly effective approach for machine vision, but there are a number of open issues regarding training (e.g., a large number of model parameters to be learned, and a number of manually tuned algorithm parameters) and interpretation (e.g., geometric interpretations of neurons at various levels of the hierarchy). In this paper, our goal is to explore alternative convolutional architectures which are easier to interpret and simpler to implement. In particular, w...
A framework for a personalized e-learning system
Özpolat, Ebru; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
This thesis focuses on three of the main components of an e-learning system: Infrastructure model, data integration and personalization. For the infrastructure model, our aim is to get best use of heterogeneously structured, geographically distributed data resources. Therefore, a detailed analysis of the available infrastructure models is carried out and an open source reference implementation based on grid technology is implemented. Furthermore, a simple data integration mechanism is proposed for the sugge...
