10 Challenges for the Specification of Self-Adaptive Software
(IEEE, 2018-01-01) Munoz-Fernandez, JC; Mazo, R; Salinesi, C; Tamura, G; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones
The demand for systems that continue on operation by adapting themselves in response to disturbing changes in their environment has increased in the last decades. Those systems, termed self-adaptive software (SAS) systems, should be developed with techniques and methods appropriated for analysing and designing this kind of systems, starting from the requirements phase. Several contributions propose approaches to improve the specification of requirements for those systems. This paper aims to review the most significant challenges still open in the domains of languages for requirements specification and methods for model verification of self-adaptive systems, independently of their particular application areas. More concretely, the main contribution of this paper is a list of ten challenges to achieve a better-defined specification of requirements for SAS systems, and a more effective verification of such specifications. These challenges are well worthy of being addressed in both communities, the requirements engineering (RE) and the SAS one.
2D shape similarity as a complement for Voronoi-Delone methods in shape reconstruction
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2005-02-01) Ruiz, O.E.; Cadavid, C.A.; Granados, M.; Peña, S.; Vásquez, E.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Laboratorio CAD/CAM/CAE
In surface reconstruction from planar cross sections it is necessary to build surfaces between 2D contours in consecutive cross sections. This problem has been traditionally attacked by (i) direct reconstruction based on local geometric proximity between the contours, and (ii) classification of topological events between the cross sections. These approaches have been separately applied with limited success. In case (i), the resulting surfaces may have overstretched or unnatural branches. These arise from local contour proximity which does not reflect global similarity between the contours. In case (ii), the topological events are identified but are not translated into the actual construction of a surface. This article presents an integration of the approaches (i) and (ii). Similarity between the composite 2D regions bounded by the contours in consecutive cross sections is used to: (a) decide whether a surface should actually relate two composite 2D regions, (b) identify the type and location of topological transitions between cross sections and (c) drive the surface construction for the regions found to be related in step (a). The implemented method avoids overstretched or unnatural branches, rendering a surface which is both geometrically intuitive and topologically faithful to the cross sections of the original object. The presented method is a good alternative in cases in which correct reproduction of the topology of the surface (e.g. simulation of flow in conduits) is more important than its geometry (e.g. assessment of tumor mass in radiation planning). © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

Academic synergy through integrated mechatronic projects
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-01-01) Velasquez-Lopez A.; Rodriguez-Garcia A.
This Innovative to Practice Work in Progress paper presents an approach to obtain synergy by implementing an integrated mechatronic project within a postgraduate program. Mechatronics has been a reference for synergetic integration of technology. However, synergy is obtained not only from technical issues, but through professional skills. Nevertheless, traditional education and industry standards focus only on the technical side. The study case is performed within the program Integrated Design of Technical Systems by implementing strategies such as integrated scheduling, integrated assessment and project proposal with application fields such as agriculture, robotics, health and mobility. This approach does not require additional credits for a project course, since the project lies underneath the courses. It has led to an increase of enrollment of students, which is significant during times when less engineers opt for further technical education. © 2018 IEEE.

Achieving object persistence in an augmented reality indoor environment
(2003-01-01) Gutiérrez, M.D.; Márquez, A.M.; Trefftz, H.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones
In this paper we present a system for achieving object persistence in Augmented Reality Indoors Environments. In AR systems based on the Augmented Reality toolkit without object persistence, virtual objects appear and disappear as the corresponding pattern gets in and out of the user's field of view. Object persistence allows the environment to remember the relative position and orientation of virtual objects, making them appear more stable to the user. We describe object persistence as a series of transformations applied to the objects in a simple indoor environment. We then present the results of a quantitative experiment that shows how interactivity is improved by the use of object persistency.

Adaptive architecture to support context-aware Collaborative Networked Virtual Surgical Simulators (CNVSS)
(SPRINGER, 2014-01-01) Diaz, C.; Trefftz, H.; Quintero, L.; Acosta, D.; Srivastava, S.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Desarrollo y Diseño de Procesos
Stand-alone and networked surgical virtual reality based simulators have been proposed as means to train surgical skills with or without a supervisor nearby the student or trainee. However, surgical skills teaching in medicine schools and hospitals is changing, requiring the development of new tools to focus on: (i) importance of mentors role, (ii) teamwork skills and (iii) remote training support. For these reasons a surgical simulator should not only allow the training involving a student and an instructor that are located remotely, but also the collaborative training session involving a group of several students adopting different medical roles during the training session. Collaborative Networked Virtual Surgical Simulators (CNVSS) allow collaborative training of surgical procedures where remotely located users with different surgical roles can take part in a training session. Several works have addressed the issues related to the development of CNVSS using various strategies. To the best of our knowledge no one has focused on handling heterogeneity in collaborative surgical virtual environments. Handling heterogeneity in this type of collaborative sessions is important because not all remotely located users have homogeneous Internet connections, nor the same interaction devices and displays, nor the same computational resources, among other factors. Additionally, if heterogeneity is not handled properly, it will have an adverse impact on the performance of each user during the collaborative session. In this paper we describe the development of an adaptive architecture with the purpose of implementing a context-aware model for collaborative virtual surgical simulation in order to handle the heterogeneity involved in the collaboration session. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.

Adaptive LAMDA applied to identify and regulate a process with variable dead time
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020-01-01) Morales L.; Pozo D.; Aguilar J.; Rosales A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones
In this paper, an adaptive intelligent controller based on the fuzzy algorithm called LAMDA (Learning Algorithm for Multivariable Data Analysis) is presented in order to identify and regulate a process with variable dead time. The original algorithm has been used for supervised and unsupervised learning, whose main field of application is the identification of functional states of the systems. In this work a modification of LAMDA has been implemented which is capable of online learning using hybrid techniques. The proposal consists of two stages: training stage to learn about the unknown plant in order to establish initial parameters to the controller, and a second phase, called application, in which the control strategy is updated using online learning. The proposed method is tested in the control objective of regulation of a process with variable dead time, to analyze the viability of its utilization in these types of systems in which their dynamics are variable and unknown. © 2020 IEEE.

Advances and trends of head-up and head-down display systems in automobiles
(SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 2014-01-01) Alejandro Betancur, J.; Osorio-Gomez, Gilberto; Externo - Escuela - Ingeniería
Currently, in the automotive industry the interaction between drivers and Augmented Reality (AR) systems is a subject of analysis, especially the identification of advantages and risks that this kind of interaction represents. Consequently, this paper attempts to put in evidence the potential applications of Head-Up (Display (HUD) and Head-Down Display (HDD) systems in automotive vehicles, showing applications and trends under study. In general, automotive advances related to AR devices suggest the partial integration of the HUD and HDD in automobiles; however, the right way to do it is still a moot point. © 2014 SPIE.
