Virtual maps are becoming more and more widespread, with the role of navigation in a virtual space. A virtual map must have a unitary structure, which means that although the map contains a multitude of multimedia elements, it must be designed as a standalone structure. The technologies which are used for the virtual maps creation are constantly developing. Creating such a map is done using programs that process images, sketches to create the 3D environment and graphic design. The paper proposes a virtual map for a building with many bodies. For the physical realization of the map of the building the Autodesk 3ds Max package is used. In order to navigate in this space Adobe Flash is the chosen solution, and the route between two locations (points) is calculated using artificial intelligence techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The event driven systems cannot be modelled and simulated with discrete time systems analysis methods. Petri nets are dedicated to event driven system analysis. The advantage of studying a system as an event driven system is that simulating it with an event driven system instrument makes possible qualitative analysis, the analysis of resource distribution and chaining of system states, even in the case the system is not yet physically implemented. This kind of analysis makes possible the correction of conflict situations in the design stage of the system. This is the case presented in the paper which discusses the improvements made after performing Petri nets analysis for rubber fabrication process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper presents a system developed for monitoring the processes parameters from a Romanian industrial wastewater treatment plant, respectively the parameters monitoring at the plant Parshall input and chemical step output. Due to a large number of analyzed parameters, using different statistical techniques (principal components analysis, correlation) were identified the main parameters that characterizes the processes from the studied plant and the dependencies among them. Also, using data mining (decision trees) and artificial intelligence (adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems) techniques were deducted the rules that compose the proposed monitoring system software. In addition, it is proposed a block diagram of an extended system that for monitoring uses the interface of the developed system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a fuzzy controller is designed based on operating mode knowledge and it is implemented in a tank level control system. The mathematical model of the plant is experimentally obtained. An important feature of the plant is its nonlinearity. To control the level of water in the tank over the whole range, one must use three tuning parameters pairs for the PI controller that work around three different operating points. The design of a fuzzy controller that uses the plant information works within the whole range, making it more suitable for this level control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Measurement and correlation of geological data is provided by depth sensors and transducers with which may be known with accuracy, at all times, the position of the drill bit into the well. This paper presents the types of depth sensors currently used in the drilling industry, associated transmitters that convert final digital data and the advantages and disadvantages of the presented types of transducers.

The proposed modelling approach will allow a thorough understanding of the interactions between different phenomena, human interactions and environmental factors constituting the real behaviour of manufacturing systems. Important industrial systems such as Tobacco Unloading Process Unit (TUPU) have inter-related internal process activities coexisting with external events and require a real time formalism to model them. This modelling framework is based on identifying the critical resources. The modelling goal is achieved by identifying the key points from the evolution of process states. The paper discusses the function and implementation of proposed modelling method as applicable to the industrial case of TUPU. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
