SRIKANTH, HEMA L. ADaPT: Adaptive Development and Prototyping Technique. (Under the direction of Ana I. Antón.) Adaptive prototyping focuses on developing software for rapidly changing environments while improving delivery speed. Traditional methodologies are not effective in highly volatile environments; thus, agile methodologies have gained acceptance recently. Although agile methodologies offer less bureaucratic software processes, they fail to adequately support requirements engineering best practices. Adaptive prototyping provides a balance between heavy and ad hoc processes, aims to eliminate the drawbacks inherent in Agile Methodologies and traditional prototyping; it also incorporates requirements engineering best practices. This thesis proposes a methodology, ADaPT (Adaptive Development and Prototyping Technique), which employs scenario analysis to elicit and validate requirements; maintains the spirit of CMM-level 2; iteratively re-examines system requirements; and only documents essential artifacts. Significant emphasis is placed on testing; and acceptance tests are written before implementation. Initial validation efforts, in the form of post-project surveys, suggest that ADaPT can improve system delivery speed and quality. Surveys were administered to three groups: customers, instructors, and students. Customers surveyed agreed that sponsored teams: delivered their system on time, developed a high quality system, and produced useful artifacts. Instructors surveyed strongly agreed that all projects were completed successfully, met course requirements and ensured a highly satisfied customer. The collective application of these techniques appears to improve software quality, reduce software cost, and improve system delivery speed while enforcing requirements engineering best practices as compared with previous experiences in student projects.

A Solution to the Problem of Extrapolation in Car Following Modeling Using an online fuzzy Neural Network
Car following process is time-varying in essence, due to the involvement of human actions. This paper develops an adaptive technique for car following modeling in a traffic flow. The proposed technique includes an online fuzzy neural network (OFNN) which is able to adapt its rule-consequent parameters to the time-varying processes. The proposed OFNN is first trained by an growing binary tree le...
متن کاملZone-3 Impadance Reach Setting of Distance Relays by Including In-feed Current Effects in an Adaptive Scheme
The undesired operation of zone 3 may be one of the most conspicuous protective relay features due to the incorrect zone 3 relay operations which have been conducive to the severity of blackouts. Therefore, determining the accurate zone 3 setting of the distance relay is deemed to be necessary. This paper focuses on the development of a new technique for calculating zone-3 setting of distance r...

Friction is a nonlinear phenomenon which has destructive effects on performance of control systems. To obviate these effects, friction compensation is an effectual solution. In this paper, an adaptive technique is proposed in order to eliminate limit cycles as one of the undesired behaviors due to presence of friction in control systems which happen frequently. The proposed approach works for n...
