An enterprise platform for wide area monitoring of load dynamics using Synchronized Measurement Technology

Applying Agent Technology for Enterprise-Wide Solutions

The challenges set forth by the ever increasing need for effective resource and application integration on an enteprise-wide scale or even across ad hoc collaborating groups of enterprises demand enormous flexibility from today’s software technologies and infrastructures. The integrated approach of multi-agent systems, combining language philosophy and social sciences ideas with distributed sys...

Monitoring Human Activities: Flexible Calibration of a Wide Area System of Synchronized Cameras

This paper presents an efficient procedure for calibrating a wide area system of synchronized cameras with respect to a global coordinate system. The flexibility of this procedure lies in its use of a hand-held calibration target that is automatically detected in real-time by the system, and also in its capability to provide a feedback on the working volume coverage through a sampling pyramid. ...

A Methodology for Unified Assessment of Physical and Geographical Dependencies of Wide Area Measurement Systems in Smart Grids

Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) enable real time monitoring and control of smart grids by combining digital measurement devices, communication and control systems. As WAMS consist of various infrastructures, they imply complex dependencies among their underlying systems and components of different types, such as cyber, physical and geographical dependencies. Although several works exist in...

Error Separation for Wide Area Film Measurement

We wanted to use a multiple probes and white light interferometer to measure the surface profile of thin film. However, this system, as assessed with a scanning method, suffers from the presence of a moving stage and systematic sensor errors. In this paper, in order to separate measurement error caused by the moving stage and systematic sensor errors, the least squares analysis is applied to ac...
