Measured sensor datum from a quadruped robotics is commonly used for recognizing physical environment information which controls the posture of robotics. We can advance the ambulation with this sensed information and need to synthesize various sensors for obtaining accurate data, but most of these sensors are expensive and require excessive load for the operation. Those defects can be serious problem when it comes to the prototype's practicality and mass production, and maintenance of the system. This paper suggests virtual sensor technology for avoiding previous defects and presents ways to apply a theory to a walking robotics through virtual sensor information which is trained with several kinds of actual sensor information from the prototype system; the general algorithm is initially based on the neural network theory of back propagation. In specific, we verified a possibility of replacing the virtual sensor with the actual one through a reaction force measurement experiment.

This paper presents a control strategy for distributed systems, which can be used in islanded microgrids. The control strategy is based on the droop method, which uses locally measured feedback to achieve load current sharing. Instead of the traditional droop method, an improved one is implemented. A virtual inductor in the synchronous frame for three-phase inverters is proposed to deal with the coupling of the frequency and the amplitude related to the active and reactive power. Compared with the traditional virtual inductor, the proposed virtual inductor is not affected by high frequency noises because it avoids differential calculations. A model is given for the distributed generation system, which is beneficial for the design of the droop coefficients and the value of the virtual inductor. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by simulation and experiment results.

Cloud computing is an emerging technology based on the concept of enabling data access from anywhere, at any time, from any platform. The exponential growth of cloud users has resulted in the emergence of multiple issues, such as the workload imbalance between the virtual machines (VMs) of data centers in a cloud environment greatly impacting its overall performance. Our axis of research is the load balancing of a data center's VMs. It aims at reducing the degree of a load's imbalance between those VMs so that a better resource utilization will be provided, thus ensuring a greater quality of service. Our article focuses on two phases to balance the workload between the VMs. The first step will be the determination of the threshold of each VM before it can be considered overloaded. The second step will be a task allocation to the VMs by relying on an improved and faster version of the meta-heuristic "simulated annealing (SA)". We mainly focused on the acceptance probability of the SA, as, by modifying the content of the acceptance probability, we could ensure that the SA was able to offer a smart task distribution between the VMs in fewer loops than a classical usage of the SA.

Virtualization technologies are being adopted and broadly utilized in many fields and at different levels. In cloud computing, achieving load balancing across large distributed virtual machines is considered a complex optimization problem with an essential importance in cloud computing systems and data centers as the overloading or underloading of tasks on VMs may cause multiple issues in the cloud system like longer execution time, machine failure, high power consumption, etc. Therefore, load balancing mechanism is an important aspect in cloud computing that assist in overcoming different performance issues. In this research, we propose a new approach that combines the advantages of different task allocation algorithms like Round robin algorithm, and Random allocation with different threshold techniques like the VM utilization and the number of allocation counts using least connection mechanism. We performed extensive simulations and experiments that augment different scheduling policies to overcome the resource utilization problem without compromising other performance measures like makespan and execution time of the tasks. The proposed system provided better results compared to the original round robin as it takes into consideration the dynamic state of the system.

In the virtualized server systems, a scheduler in a hypervisor is responsible to assign physical resources for virtual machines. However, the traditional scheduler is hard to provide optimized resource allocation considering the amount of I/O requests. Especially, the drawback hinders performance of software load balancer which runs on virtual machines to distribute I/O requests from the clients. In this paper, we propose a new architecture to improve the performance of software load balancer using multiprocess. Our architecture aims to improve hardware resource utilization and overall performance of the server systems which utilize virtualization technology. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed architecture for the various cases.

The purpose of this paper is to examine how the humans learn and perceive the weight of objects corresponding to visual information in virtual environment. We conducted two kinds of load-on-tasks with two virtual objects that have same weight but different visual cues; have same visual cues but changed weight by trails. We found that the subject could not generate appropriate force for the smaller and changed weight objects in the beginning of the trials. the discrepancy between the expected weight and actual force consequences sue to visually invoked size and previous experience made subjects perceive the small object were heavier. one the other hand, after the tasks were repeated, the subject responded the weights were the same or very similar when the mismatch between the expected weight and the actual weight became vanished. this means that the sensorimotor feedback influences the anticipatory control scheme and weight perception aggressively in virtual environment.

초기 콜 센터는 단순히 고객에게 걸려오는 전화를 응대하는 서비스 수준으로 시작되었지만, 현재는 고객과 마주하는 최 접점으로 서비스 뿐만 아니라 마켓팅, 세일즈를 행하는 기업의 경쟁력을 유지하는데 있어 필수적인 요소로 자리잡아 가고 있다. 특히 개인고객을 많이 접하는 금융기관에서는 콜 센터를 대형화, 지방 분산화 및 백업체제 구축을 위한 Multi 센터를 구축하여 콜만 처리하는 센터로서가 아니라 다양한 채널[전화,email,fax,chating]를 통해 접속되는 고객요구 사항들을 통합된 인프라에서 One Stop 으로 처리하고자 한다. 하지만 회선 교환망을 이용하는 PBX기반 Voice 회선과 IP 환경의 DATA 를 처리하는 이원화된 구조로 Multi 콜 센터를 구축 할 경우, 타 센터의 상담원에게로 콜을 설정시 시간이 많이 소요되어 센터간 Call Load Balancing 및 상담원 Skill Based Routing 을 수행함이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 개선할 수 있는 방안으로 Voice 와 Data 를 IP 기반 단일 망으로 구성하고 WAN상에서 음성을 전달할 때 적정한 MOS(Mean opinion score)를 측정 후 객관적으로 필요한 Bandwidth 를 검증하고 Muti 콜 센터에서 효과적인 콜 load Balancing 및 Routing을 할 수 있는 VOIP기반 Convereed Virtual Call Center Architecture 설계 한다.

A 6.5 V/50 kA high-frequency switching power supply (HSPS) system composed of 10 power modules is developed to meet the requirements of copper-foil electrolysis. The power module is composed of a two-leg pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier and a DC/DC converter. The DC/DC converter adopts two full-wave rectifiers in parallel to enhance the output. For the two-leg PWM rectifier, the ripple of the DC-link voltage is derived. A composite control method with a ripple filter is then proposed to effectively improve the performance of the rectifier. To meet the process demand of copper-foil electrolysis, the virtual impedance-based current-sharing control method with load current full feedforward is proposed for n-parallel DC/DC converters. The roles of load current feedforward and virtual impedance are analyzed, and the current-sharing control model of the HSPS system is derived. Virtual impedance is used to adjust the current-sharing impedance without changing the equivalent output impedance, which can effectively reduce current-sharing errors. Finally, simulation and experimental results verify the structure and control method.
