In this paper we address the problem of automatic sensor composition for servicing human-interpretable high-level tasks. To this end, we introduce multi-level distributed intelligent virtual sensors (multi-level DIVS) as an overlay framework for a given ...

In many situations, placing a physical sensor in the ideal position in or on the human body to acquire sensing data is incredibly difficult. Virtual sensors, in contrast to physical sensors, can provide indirect measurements by making use of other availa...

In this work, we present a synchronous co-simulation of a 6DOF (six degree of freedom) ball and plate platform and its 3D computer model. The co-simulation in the virtual environment is intended to mimic the rendezvous between a cargo vehicle such as the...

Bio-colonisation affects the ageing of materials and the behaviour of offshore structures. Mooring systems and umbilicals belong to the family of slender bodies which are components sensitive to bio-colonisation because of a change of dynamic behaviour d...

We propose a novel design method for multi-focal metallic Fresnel zone plates (MFZPs), which exploits the phase selection rule by putting virtual point sources (VPSs) at the desired focal points distant to the MFZP plane. The phase distribution at the MF...
