Application of cognitive infocommunications in public transport journey planning: Relationship of passenger decisions and online passenger information systems

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Description:

Cognitive sciences play an important role in public transport journey planning. Passengers have to determine the possible ways to get from one place to another at a specified time and then choose the best one. Their decisions depend on many factors e.g. journey time, walking distances, transfers, waiting times, price of the journey as well as the preferences of the passengers. This paper presents an innovative journey planning system which is able to handle as well as collect data about preferences of different passenger layers. The experiences show that passenger preferences at the beginning of the journey differ from the ones at the middle of the journey which implies that infocommunication applications used for passenger information and journey planning should consider these differences.

Digital age: Information and communication technologies, tools and trends for communication management

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 229-233

Description:

This paper aims to explore and identify the trends and main streams of digitalization and cognitive info-communications in the field of communication management in Europe. The analysis based upon the database of European Communication Monitor (ECM)1 2007-2015 which is the largest study on strategic communication worldwide. The paper focuses on the development of communication channels, online communication and social media, furthermore tends to give an overall picture about the rapidly growing role of social media as a tool among European communication practitioners. This electronic document is a "live" template and already defines the components of your paper [title, text, heads, etc.] in its style sheet. In the frame of our paper we give an overview about the trends and long term features - such as digitalization, info-communication, and social media - on communication management. What we can follow as clear trends during the 2007-2015 periods are as bellow: • development of communication channels/instruments; • coping with the digital evolution and the social web become the most important (strategic) issues for • communication management; • overall trend the interactive communication and online communities, and • emerging interactive channels: social media, networks and online videos. There are phenomena which appear in a particular year and become a constant element of the tools by today, and there are new elements in every year. The importance of printed media is radically reduced, and replaced by online media. With their help will be the stakeholders, the media and the pubic available. Next to the online communication and online media, the forging ahead of social media (social networks, blogs, etc.) is the most important source of changes. The importance of to be present in social media is gradually becoming more and more obvious to companies. Social media means a real dialogue, and it requires substantial resources. As the World Wide Web becomes more and more influential, the global media become the most important tools of the global communication management on reaching the public.

Empirical identification of the creative cognitive unconscious processes in the collective individuation concerning the World-Clock models: Part III. the three hidden pillars of the world and the fourth one

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 627-646

Description:

This part of the paper discusses after the broad areas (suiting the three background languages which were recommended by Pauli) of the 'mythological world', the 'physical cosmos' and the depth psychology, which gained a really worthy representation in the three great minds (Pauli, Jung and Kerényi), and the fourth one, bounded to the city of Zurich. The fourth key area is linked to the models of cosmic language mysticism and to the corresponding linguistic aesthetic background language. As a representative, ensuring the completeness of the quaternion, the Zurich linked James Joyce, who lived and deceased in Zurich, is seen, in a way in the creative unconscious evolutionary processes, as if he was in inseparable close unconscious contact with the other three persons.

Empirical identification of the creative cognitive unconscious processes in the collective individuation concerning the World-Clock models: Part II. Pauli's regiomontanus dream and its historical and spiritual background

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 607-626

Description:

This part of the paper first deals with some methodological problems of the possible identification of special patterns in the hypothetical evolution of the broadening reflective consciousness ("collective individuation") related to the spiritual history of the 11th century. Furthermore, we intend to present some hypothetical important episodes of the process of the development of the consciousness, the collective individuation with partial interpretation of Pauli's Regiomontanus dream and subsequent famous dream series of 1954-1956, by their interpretation as a long run cognitive process.

Influencing household location decision making: Potential in transportation management?

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 171-174

Description:

Housing location decision is basic information for transportation modeling. As the basis of trip generation its modelling is quite well-studied. These models are based on economic theories and assume the knowledge of a broad range of decisive information. At the same time people tend to make decision knowing far less information using heuristics. Utilizing this decision making process the question arises: providing more detailed, easily accessible information do people make more rational decision? And further considering: providing these information could we influence decision making to match with the objectives of regional development and transportation management?

Page Range: 2609-2614

Description:

In polytopic model based controller synthesis, the vertices of the model determine the achievable performance. This paper demonstrates a complete and tractable design process exposing the polytopic qLPV model generation and a polytopeshaping technique through the example of the TORA (Translational Oscillator with a Rotational Actuator) system. The demonstrated apparatus allows for systematically improving the control performance through the manipulation of the polytopic structure based on the MVSA (Minimal Volume Simplex Analysis) algorithm. The proposed approach fits to the framework of TP Model Transformation.

Influence of the Manipulation of the Polytopic Tensor Product Model Representation on the Control Performance of LMI Based Design

Publication Name: Proceedings 2015 IEEE International Conference on Systems Man and Cybernetics Smc 2015

Publication Date: 2016-01-12

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 2603-2608

Description:

The paper studies the effect of the manipulation of the polytopic TP model representation of a given quasi Linear Parameter Varying (qLPV) state-space model on the control performance results. The investigated model in the case study consists of the extended, Stribeck friction included three degrees of-freedom version of the aero elastic wing section of the Nonlinear Aero elastic Test Apparatus (NATA) model. The investigation is carried out through the Tensor Product (TP) model transformation based Control Design Framework, which bridges the manipulation of the polytopic representation and Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) based control design methods. Different TP model representations of the given qLPV model are derived: A TP model representation with a sum-normalized non-negative (SNNN) convex hull, a TP model representation with a close to-normal (CNO) convex hull and interpolated TP model representations. Upon these representations Linear Matrix Inequality based design methods are applied to attain the controller and observer system components. The resulting control systems are tested through numerical simulation and their performance are compared and evaluated. The paper presents results, where the interpolated representations lead to better control performance results, which indicates, that the manipulation of the polytopic TP model representation may lead to further potential optimization possibilities. Also, this shows, that in order to find the optimal solution the manipulation is a necessary and important step.
