Finding the intersection points of networks

Adapting the interactive activation model for context recognition and identification

In this article, we propose and implement a new model for context recognition and identification. Our work is motivated by the importance of "working in context" for knowledge workers to stay focused and productive. A computer application that can identify the current context in which the knowledge worker is working can (among other things)...

Modeling region-based interconnection for interdependent networks

Various real-world networks interact with and depend on each other. The design of the interconnection between interacting networks is one of the main challenges to achieve a robust interdependent network. Due to cost considerations, network providers are inclined to interconnect nodes that are geographically close. Accordingly, we propose two...

Knowing power grids and understanding complexity science

Complex networks theory has been well established as a useful framework for studying and analysing structure, dynamics and evolution of many complex systems. Infrastructural and man-made systems like power grids, gas and water networks and the internet, have been also included in this network framework, albeit sometimes ignoring the huge...

An acoustical model based monitoring network

In this paper the approach for an acoustical model based monitoring network is demonstrated. This network is capable of reconstructing a noise map, based on the combination of measured sound levels and an acoustic model of the area. By pre-calculating the sound attenuation within the network the noise map can be shown in real-time. The...

Design of a fast linear drive for (hybrid) circuit breakers: Development and validation of a multi domain simulation environment

The force acting on a current carrying body, which is induced by magnetic fields gained more interest due to new applications. These magnetic techniques are used for decades to accelerate or move objects, for instance for catheter navigation in the human body, metal forming or for fast opening of electrical circuit breakers. Due to the increase...

High speed velocity measurements on an EFI-system

For the development of an Exploding Foil Initiator for Insensitive Munitions applications the following topics are of interest: the electrical circuit, the exploding foil, the velocity of the flyer, the driver explosive, the secondary flyer and the acceptor explosive. Several parameters of the EFI have influences on the velocity of the flyer. To...
