In this study we surveyed the characteristics of the Semantic Web and ontology technology, analyzing the studies which applied ontology to e-Learning. In addition, we investigated the models which should be considered in the adaptive learning, analyzing the existing adaptive learning systems. On the basis of the analysis of them, we sought the ways to apply ontology for supporting the adaptive learning in the e-learning system, designing an ontology-based adaptive learning system. The system made up for the weak points of the existing ontology-based learning systems. That is, it appropriately diagnoses learners' knowledge level of learning concepts, classifying the learning styles in detail, and providing their corresponding learning methods and content. By adapting the learning content to the learners' individual learning style and knowledge level, this system would support their learning more efficiently and more effectively.

The backward differentiation formula (BDF) method is applied to a three-dimensional reactor kinetics calculation for efficient yet accurate transient analysis with adaptive time step control. The coarse mesh finite difference (CMFD) formulation is used for an efficient implementation of the BDF method that does not require excessive memory to store old information from previous time steps. An iterative scheme to update the nodal coupling coefficients through higher order local nodal solutions is established in order to make it possible to store only node average fluxes of the previous five time points. An adaptive time step control method is derived using two order solutions, the fifth and the fourth order BDF solutions, which provide an estimate of the solution error at the current time point. The performance of the BDF- and CMFD-based spatial kinetics calculation and the adaptive time step control scheme is examined with the NEACRP control rod ejection and rod withdrawal benchmark problems. The accuracy is first assessed by comparing the BDF-based results with those of the Crank-Nicholson method with an exponential transform. The effectiveness of the adaptive time step control is then assessed in terms of the possible computing time reduction in producing sufficiently accurate solutions that meet the desired solution fidelity.

This paper proposes an alternative robust adaptive high-gain fuzzy observer design scheme and its application to synchronization of chaotic systems. The structure of the proposed observer is represented by Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model and has the integrator of the estimation error. This improves the performance of high-gain observer and makes the proposed observer robust against noisy measurements, uncertainties and parameter perturbations as well. Using Lyapunov stability theory, an adaptive law is derived and the stability of the proposed observer is analyzed. Some simulation result is given to present the validity of theoretical derivations and the performance of the proposed observer.

Adaptive algorithms are widely used for various applications. One challenging application is an echo canceller in the long distance telephony network. This paper proposes the new variable step-size algorithm for adaptive lattice structure for echo cancellation. The new algorithm is using power of the output signal and the error signal to controlled the step of adaptation process. By this technique, the proposed algorithm is an excellent and effective in good stability. Performance comparison of the proposed algorithm and the other algorithm is made through simulation results.

Regarding global and local factors of a set of features, a given single image or multiple images is a common approach in image processing. This paper introduces an application of an adaptive version of non-local filter whose original version searches non-local similarity for removing noise. Since most images involve texture partner in both foreground and background, extraction of signified regions with texture is a challenging task. Aiming to the detection of visual attention regions for images with texture, we present the contrast analysis of image patches located in a whole image but not nearby with assistance of the adaptive filter for estimation of non-local divergence. The method allows extraction of signified regions with texture of images of wild life. Experimental results for a benchmark demonstrate the ability of the proposed method to deal with the mentioned challenge.

A new control method for the robust position control of a brushless DC(BLDC) motor using the asymptotically stable adaptive load torque observer is presented. A precision position control is obtained for the BLDC motor system approximately linearized using the field-orientation method. And the application of the load torque observer is published in [1] using fixed gain. However, the flux linkage is not exactly known for a load torque observer. Therefore, a model reference adaptive observer is considered to overcome the problem of the unknown parameter in this paper. And stability analysis is carried out using Liapunov stability theorem. As a result, asymptotically stable observer gain can be obtained without affecting the overall system response. The load disturbance detected by the asymptotically stable adaptive observer is compensated by feedforwarding the equivalent current having the fast response.

A sparse reconfigurable adaptive filter (SRAF) based on a photonic switch determines the appropriate time delays and weight values for an optical switch implementation of tapped-delay-line (TDL) systems. It is well known that the choice of switch delays is significantly important for efficiently implementing the SRAF. If the same values exist as calculating the sum of weight magnitudes for implementing the connection constraint required by the SRAF, conventional connection algorithm based on sequentially selection the maximum elements might not work perfectly. In an effort to increase the effectiveness of system identification, an upgraded connection algorithm used progressive calculation to obtain the better solution is considered in this paper. The performance of the proposed connection constraint algorithm is illustrated by computer simulation for a system identification application.

This paper proposes the new adaptive protection algorithm for inverse-time overcurrent relays (OCRs) to ensure their proper operating time and protective coordination. The application of the proposed algorithm requires digital protection relays with microcontroller and memory. The operating parameters of digital OCRs are adjusted based on the available data whenever system conditions (system with distributed generation (DG)) vary. Moreover, it can reduce the calculation time required to determine the operating parameters for achieving its purpose. To verify its effectiveness, several case studies are performed in time-domain simulation. The results show that the proposed adaptive protection algorithm can keep the proper operating time and provide the protective coordination time interval with fast response.

A procedure is proposed to generate optimal grid with minimal user intervention while keeping a prescribed level of accuracy, using an adaptive X-FEM and applied to shape optimization. In spite of various advantages of X-FEM, however, there are several obstacles for practical applications. Because of using a uniform background mesh and additional degree of freedoms for enrichment, an X-FEM is usually computationally more expensive than traditional finite element method. Furthermore, there are often accuracy problems. For an automatic procedure of optimal mesh generation, an h-adaptive scheme and a posteriori error estimation obtained by a post-processing process are utilized. The procedure is shown by 2-D shape optimization examples.

This paper presents an explicit pole-assignment adaptive servocontrol shceme and its application to cutting force regulation for feedrate maximization. The controller structure of the suggested adaptive control scheme is based on robust control theory. This controller structure is then combined with an on-line model estimation algorithm. The whole scheme is applied to a milling process control. The results of real time cutting experimental studies show that the asymptotic regulation of milling peak cutting forces can be achieved with robust- ness against the time varying perturbations to the process model parameters, which are caused by nonlinear cutting dynamics.
