Empirically Modelling a Fire Control System
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This paper briefly considers the application of the principles of Empirical Modelling to an analog mechanical computer of WWII, and puts forward the theory that this primitive early computer, that followed such different principles to today's all-purpose computers, had properties of its design in common with EM models. The computer and system in question are related briefly to the principles of Human Computing, and the outcome of the modelling exercise itself is critiqued.

A Robust Feedforward Active Noise Control System with a Variable Step-Size FxLMS Algorithm: Designing a New Online Secondary Path Modelling Method
Several approaches have been introduced in literature for active noise control (ANC)systems. Since Filtered-x-Least Mean Square (FxLMS) algorithm appears to be the best choice as acontroller filter. Researchers tend to improve performance of ANC systems by enhancing andmodifying this algorithm. This paper proposes a new version of FxLMS algorithm. In many ANCapplications an online secondary pat...
متن کاملDynamic Data Driven Ensemble for Wildfire Behaviour Assessment: A Case Study
Wildfire information has long been collected in Europe, with particular focus on forest fires. The European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) of the European Commission complements and harmonises the information collected by member countries and covers the forest fire management cycle. This latter ranges from forest fire preparedness to post-fire impact analysis. However, predicting and si...
متن کاملEvaluation of Graphical Control Flow Management Approaches for Event-B Modelling
Integrating graphical representations with formal methods can help bridge the gap between requirements and formal modelling. In this paper, we compare and evaluate two graphical approaches aiming at describing control flows and refinement in Event-B, and we use a fire dispatch system case study to perform this evaluation. The fire dispatch system case study provides a good example of a complex ...
متن کاملEvacuation modelling analysis within the operational research context: A combined approach for improving enclosure designs
Evacuation models have been playing an important function in the transition process from prescriptive fire safety codes to performance-based ones over the last three decades. In fact, such models became also useful tools in different tasks within fire safety engineering field, such as fire risks assessment and fire investigation. However, there are some difficulties in this process when using t...
متن کاملModelling and simulation of ecological propagation processes: application to fire spread
An important class of ecological problems concerns propagation processes. In ecological modelling, these phenomena generally occur on large scales and are generally difficult to simulate efficiently because of the number of entities. Studies of this kind of phenomena lack genericity and reusability because they are often presented from the point of view of a single domain expert. Simulations ma...
