Human’s New Roles to Ensure Resilience of Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems
Industry 4.0 introduces new production paradigms like Cyber-Physical Production System (CPPS) which should be efficient, self-organized, and resilient. The emergence of CPPS evolves the roles of humans and should enhance the manufacturing system efficiency and the decision-making process. In this paper, we are studying the human’s new roles to ensure the resilience of industrial Cyber-Physical […]

Simplified Building Thermal Model Development and Parameters Evaluation Using a Stochastic Approach
This paper proposes an approach to develop building dynamic thermal models that are of paramount importance for controller application. In this context, controller requires a low-order, computationally efficient, and accurate models to achieve higher performance. An efficient building model is developed by having proper structural knowledge of low-order model and identifying its parameter values. Simplified […]

A New Method of Image Reconstruction for PET Using a Combined Regularization Algorithm
Positron emission tomography (PET), is a medical imaging technique that provides functional information about physiological pro- cesses. The goal of PET is to reconstruct the distribution of the radioiso- topes in the body by measuring the emitted photons. The computer methods are designed to solve the inverse problem known as “image reconstruction from projections.” In […]

A Reference Architecture for Smart Building Digital Twin
This paper proposes a software architecture for creating and managing unambiguous descriptions of a Smart Building, allowing its Digital Twin to be deployed. These descriptions include static semantic structural description and dynamic time-series sensors data. Moreover, it is designed to be able to include data from various simulation tools, represented in the same way as […]

A Raspberry-Pi based Surveillance Camera with Dynamic Motion Tracking
Surveillance is the monitoring of behavior, activities, or other information for the purpose of influencing, managing or protecting people and belongings. It is very useful to governments and law enforcement to maintain social control, recognize threats, and prevent criminal activity. With the emergence of video cameras and recorders, video surveillance has become easier and the […]

Fiscal stance, election year and 2007 crisis, evidence from OECD countries (1980–2017)
The purpose of this article is to explain the rapid narrowing of fiscal room of manoeuvre following the 2007 crisis in the Eurozone by analyzing the fiscal cyclicality of a sample of 19 OECD countries over the period 1980–2017, with a focus on the election year, the government ideology and the pre-crisis period. We adopt […]

Sustainable capacitated facility location/network design problem: a Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm based multiobjective approach
In a highly competitive environment, characterized by shorter product life cycles, mass customization and fluctuating markets, the supply chain network design is considered as one of the most important steps for reducing their costs, increasing their performance, competitiveness and profits. In addition, due to the growing social, governmental and industrial concerns about environmental protection and […]

Une approche par éléments finis cohésifs-volumétriques, tenant compte des propriétés mécaniques de la zone de transition interfaciale (ITZ), est utilisée pour étudier le comportement mécanique du béton lors d’un essai de compression uniaxiale. Dans ce tra
Une approche par éléments finis cohésifs-volumétriques, tenant compte des propriétés mécaniques de la zone de transition interfaciale (ITZ), est utilisée pour étudier le comportement mécanique du béton lors d’un essai de compression uniaxiale. Dans ce travail, un modèle géométrique bidimensionnel à l’échelle mésoscopique du béton numérique a été considéré. Les échantillons obtenus sont maillés à […]

Optimal Scheduling of Grid Transactive Home Demand Responsive Appliances Using Polar Bear Optimization Algorithm
The conventional power system has been evolving towards a smart grid system for the past few decades. An integral step in successful realization of smart grid is to deploy renewable energy resources, particularly rooftop photovoltaic systems, at smart homes. With demand response opportunities in smart grid, residential customers can manage the utilization of their demand […]

Designing universal visuotactile pictograms for orientation maps
Pictograms are used in all domains of our daily life, in orientation maps in particular. They can be depicted visually or tactually for blind people. The problem is that these existing pictograms are not standardized. The aim of this study was to develop a range of visuotactile orientation pictograms, which would be understandable by adults, […]

On the development of a simplified model for thermal comfort control of split systems
Despite split-type systems for cooling purposes became popular in countries such as China, Japan. India, Indonesia and Brazil, their use commonly promote high gradients of both temperature and air velocity in rooms which may cause considerable thermal discomfort. Hence, this work aims at developing a simplified thermal comfort index, based on temperature and air speed, […]

Using collaborative VR technology for Lean Manufacturing Training: a case study
Research on the application of virtual reality (VR) to training has shown VR environments could contribute to the acquisition of procedures with minimized risks, costs, and timing. In the field of Lean Manufacturing (LM), VR can improve decision making in factory layouts. However, in the field of training, no evidence yet existed that VR immersion […]
