In this paper we discuss artificial plan designing as a research field that deals with the development and use of computational models to support the generation of design descriptions in architecture and urban planning. We discuss some crucial methodological issues and we present a model for artificial design generation based on learning control methodologies. The design problem is defined as a...

Urban morphology as “knowledge of urban form”, has notable capacities to participate in comprehension and management of urban development, specially in this days cities have faced with unprecedented changes that create problem for cities inhabitants in perception and creation of cities image and also have confronted designers with a serious question to control and guide new constructions. Use o...

Digital Urban Management has become a trend in the development of contemporary cities. This paper presents the design and implementation of an intelligent flood control decision support system (IFCDSS) using statistical analysis to determine the relationship between the data, and integrate data mining technology for digital urban management based on Java EE. The system also provides location-ba...

background : to assess the epidemiological characteristics of hypertensive patients in urban population of yazd, a cen­tral city in iran. methods: this cross sectional study was conducted from 2005-2006 and carried out on population aging 20-74 years. it is a part of the phase i of yazd healthy heart program that it is a community interventional study for prevention of car­diovascular disease. ...

Due to its potential for going into details or getting a global view of the system, agent architecture is a good frame to create an urban traffic control system. In fact, the agent architecture has allowed us to design a control system able of coordinating the traffic of a set of cars in certain scenarios, using, as initial core, the car control algorithms. In further steps, a higher level laye...

Complexity, as a theoretical background has made it easier to understand and explain the features and dynamic behavior of various complex systems. As the common theoretical background has confirmed, borrowing the terminology for design from the natural sciences has helped to control and understand urban complexity. Phenomena like self-organization, evolution and adaptation are appropriate to de...

introduction urban landscape is experiencing rapid changes which put all urban domains under pressures. these processes revolutionize urban landscape into spaces without ecologic values. the sustainability of green patches and corridors has been scathed by lack of ecological approaches in planning and design. therefore, urban green spaces structures and functions have been damaged. green spaces...

Design of reliable and robust controller for electric vehicle in urban and sub urban areas is very much challenging task due to time varying load torque requirement at the wheel of the vehicle. In this paper indirect field oriented vector control of induction motor, PI speed control with anti-windup scheme and hysteresis current control scheme have been proposed for three phase induction motor ...
