The development of teaching materials for future software engineers is critical to the long term success of the grid. At present however there is considerable turmoil in the grid community both within the standards and the technology base underpinning these standards. In this context, it is...

e-Science and e-Research is about supporting collaborations especially those that cross administrative boundaries. Typically this is achieved through establishing virtual organizations (VOs) where several institutions and individuals wish to contribute resources for their mutual interest, e.g....

Liberalisation of telecommunications encourages competition between the various actors in the Open Service Market (OSM). In this highly competitive context, Connectivity Service Providers (CSPs) and Value Added Service Providers (VASPs) are investigating opportunities to provide differentiated...

Privilege Management Infrastructures (PMI) are emerging as a necessary alternative to authorization through Access Control Lists (ACL) as the need for finer grained security on the Grid increases in numerous domains. The 2-year JISC funded DyVOSE Project has investigated applying PMIs within an...

An approach to the online learning of Takagi-Sugeno (TS) type models is proposed in the paper. It is based on a novel learning algorithm that recursively updates TS model structure and parameters by combining supervised and unsupervised learning. The rule-base and parameters of the TS model...

This paper describes an approach to design self-developing and self-tuning inferential soft sensors applicable to process industries. The proposal is for a Takagi-Sugeno-fuzzy system framework that has evolving (open structure) architecture, and an on-line (possibly real-time) learning...

A new approach to passive detection and avoidance of collision and near-collision with moving obstacles by Uninhabited Aerial Systems (UAS) is proposed in this paper. It takes as inputs the bearings between the ownship and the moving obstacles (intruders) only. Bearings can be measured by...
