Laboratory evolutionists continue to generate better enzymes for industrial and research applications. Exciting developments include new biocatalysts for enantioselective carbon–carbon bond formation and fatty acid production in plants. Creative contributions to the repertoire of evolutionary methods will ensure further growth in applications and expand the scope and complexity of biological de...

Fuzzy control systems have been extensively used on industrial applications. In the recent years Fuzzy Modeling had become the center of attention for researchers in the area. The theory has been oriented mainly to static function approximation and classiication problems but very few publications have addressed the problem of dynamic function approximation. The problem of identiication using no...

2 3 The second issue of SCE-Science opens up the aperture to a wider glance at the diverse and innovative research conducted at SCE-Sha-moon College of engineering. The articles brought here present just a small portion of the bustling activity of creation, cooperation, and study felt throughout our college. In this issue are represented some of our senior researchers as well as some of our lat...

design and analysis software solutions for composite structures for more than two decades. The software is continuously upgraded to reflect new research findings as well as to capitalize on advances in computing technology. Software applications such as CDS2.0, LIMS and MAT162 are used extensively by researchers at UD-CCM and industrial sponsors to predict material properties and behavior durin...

A background briefing on the use of evolutionary computation to optimise industrial designs Executive Summary Nature has a process that optimises the design of living organisms. This process is called evolution. Evolution is based on a set of key principles including the use of a genetic code and Darwinian natural selection. Todayy s scientists and engineers can use the same principles to solve...

We present a case study on automatic synthesis of control software from formal speci cations for an industrial automation control system. Our aim is to compare the e ectiveness (i.e. design e ort and controller quality) of automatic controller synthesis from closed loop formal speci cations with that of manual controller design followed by automatic veri cation. The system to be controlled (pla...

The purpose of the workshop is to have an open forum for all the research scientists and engineers who work for practical application area of VR, especially for industrial use. In Japan, the government research project, “Human Media,” has started in 1996 and this year is the end of the first project term. “Human Media” project aims to develop basic technology for human centered multimedia syste...

At present, image processing concepts are widely used in different fields, such as remote sensing, communication, medical imaging, forensics and industrial inspection. Image segmentation is one of the key processes in image processing key stages. Segmentation is a process of extracting various features of the image which can be merged or split to build the object of interest, on which image ana...
