Performance prediction of conservative parallel discrete event simulation

Publication Name: 8th International Industrial Simulation Conference 2010 Isc 2010

Publication Date: 2010-01-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 214-219

Description:

In a previous paper, a quantitative criterion has been proposed for efficient execution of the Null Message Protocol, the best-known conservative parallel discrete event simulation (PDES) protocol. The criterion is based on a novel concept of the coupling factor, and allows one to use intuitive and easy-to-measure input parameters. The criterion can be used to assess simulation models' potential for parallel execution as well as the maximum partitioning that may still potentially yield good performance. This paper deals with experimental verification of the proposed rule that a large coupling factor is a necessary precondition for getting a good speed-up with conservative parallel simulation. A closed queueing network is used as simulation model, and it is run on up to 24 CPU cores. It is shown that the criterion provides a quick and convenient way to determine whether a simulation model has a potential for speed-up before actually investing work in the parallelization.

Extension of isothermal time-temperature parameters to non-isothermal conditions: Application to the simulation of rapid tempering

Publication Name: Strojniski Vestnik Journal of Mechanical Engineering

Publication Date: 2010-04-28

Volume: 56

Issue: 2

Page Range: 84-92

Description:

A phenomenological method for constructing non-isothermal, generalized time-temperature parameters (GTT parameters) is presented. An analysis of the relationship between the various traditional isothermal time-temperature parameters has verified that the generalized Dorn-parameter is regarded to be the sole non-isothermal complex parameter to which a rigorous, physically well-founded interpretation is attributed. Possible applications of GTT parameters are illustrated by examples concerning the prediction of hardness change in quenched steels during rapid tempering treatments. © 2010 Journal of Mechanical Engineering.

Hawkes processes: some key ideas, links to neuroscience and system identification

Publication Name: Communications in Information and Systems

Publication Date: 2021-01-01

Volume: 21

Issue: 3

Page Range: 385-413

Description:

The primary objective of the present paper is to provide a brief survey of basic ideas and some key results of the theory of Hawkes processes that may serve as an interface for multidisciplinary research between mathematics and neurosciences, with hints to epidemiology. The class of Hawkes processes is considered as an appropriate model to describe the pattern of neuronal firing, see [56] [38]. As such, it is a prime candidate for detecting changes in brain activity, and consequently to predict epileptic seizures. Most of the advanced results will be presented via simple examples. In addition, we elaborate on links between the theory of Hawkes processes and linear stochastic systems, in particular system identification. A few new results in this context will be also presented with the outline of their proofs.

Digital business ecosystem tools as interoperability drivers

Publication Name: IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology

Publication Date: 2010-01-01

Volume: 326

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 116-127

Description:

Today’s businesses form a highly interconnected network of companies, organisations, technologies, consumers, products and services. The concept of the Digital Business Ecosystem (DBE) has been come life in order to build an Internet-based environment in which businesses will be able to interact with each other more efficiently. In a Digital Ecosystem, a leadership structure is formed in order to be capable of responding to the dynamic needs of the environment. The agent in a Digital Ecosystem can both be a client and a server at the same time. With the same message, agents can simultaneously offer a service to others as a Server and request help as a Client. Industries may have their own systems but they are not yet business ecosystems. Digital ecosystems rely on a technological infrastructure to mediate the formalisation of knowledge in SME networks, the creation of software services, and different type of interactions between SMEs. There are many fields of application in the agro-food industry where interoperability of information system would be essential. Amongst others food tracking and tracing, logistics, SRM and CRM integration all need interoperability solution in a heterogeneous environment. Our prototypes can help in building these cooperative information systems.

Factors contributing to the enhanced performance of the maxwhere 3D VR platform in the distribution of digital information

Publication Name: Acta Polytechnica Hungarica

Publication Date: 2018-01-01

Volume: 15

Issue: 3

Page Range: 149-173

Description:

The rapid evolution of information technology and of a new networked culture in the 21st Century has brought a new question to the forefront of scientific interest: the question of how new technologies influence the effectiveness with which humans are able to perform specific tasks. This paper presents an experiment contrasting traditional 2D interfaces and the MaxWhere 3D VR educational platform in order to shed light on how the effectiveness of various operations and workflows constituting the core of digital literacy has evolved in recent times. In order to draw specific conclusions, a new framework of concepts, qualitative and quantitative metrics and experimental procedures is proposed in the paper. The final goal of the proposed framework is to help evaluate the effectiveness of digital workflows. The results of the experiment, evaluated in terms of the proposed framework, point to the conclusion that when using MaxWhere instead of traditional 2D interfaces, users are able to accomplish the same digital workflows with 30% less user operations, and up to 80% less machine operations. Based on these results, the paper concludes that MaxWhere as an educational platform offers users a number of ways to accomplish tasks that would otherwise require extremely complicated digital workflows in more traditional 2D environments.

Mobile and Web Tools for Analyzing Driver Mental States in Simulated Tests †

Publication Name: Engineering Proceedings

Publication Date: 2025-01-01

Volume: 113

Issue: 1

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Enhancing road safety requires an accurate assessment of the drivers’ mental states. The Driver Status Test App (DSTA) is designed to detect conditions such as intoxication, fatigue, and cognitive impairment in simulated driving environments. Utilizing a dual-platform approach, it integrates mobile data collection via React Native and Firebase with web-based management using React and TypeScript. The mobile application conducts real-time assessments of cognitive and motor functions, while the web interface offers data visualization, trend analysis, and results exportation. DSTA evaluates driver impairment through metrics such as tracking, precision, balance, and choice reaction, producing an objective impairment score. These assessments are rapid, scalable, and adaptable for various research and regulatory purposes. The composite scoring framework differentiates between impaired and unimpaired states, making DSTA valuable for driver training programs, regulatory assessments, and autonomous vehicle research, where monitoring human factors is crucial.

Incorporating single cell proteins in the diet of IBD patients

Publication Name: Elelmiszervizsgalati Kozlemenyek

Publication Date: 2018-01-01

Volume: 64

Issue: 4

Page Range: 2290-2296

Description:

Worldwide, and also in Hungary, more and more patients are diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) each year. In the case of IBD patients, to supplement a normal diet, alternative solutions, such as, for example, the dietary use of single cell proteins intended to be examined by us are required. Ensuring the proper nutrition and liquid supply of the human body is one of the major tasks of modern food science. By using state-of-the-art scientific knowledge and diagnostic methods, the energy requirement of people with increased energy and protein needs can be determined as a function of their body weight, and the production processes of foods should be realized with this information in mind. In our research, single cell proteins (SCP) have been produced in a yeast culture grown on high sugar content culture media, including their nutritional evaluation. Possibilities for incorporating SCP in the diet of IBD patients have also been investigated. With our research results, we would like to provide assistance to specialists in food science and those in nutrition science contributing to food production.
