Research of Sharing Remote Education Resources Based on Ethernet & INTERBUS System

Yuwei Dai

As the member of Phoenix Contact remote education network -EduNet, we integrate Fieldbus Laboratory into industrial Ethernet system and then connect it to campus network and Internet, so that the share of EduNet internal resources is possible. There’re in total 8 units in the laboratory, which are constituted with pneumatic and hydraulic equipments, sensors, actuators, drive system, etc. The industrial Ethernet system is based on the foundation of INTERBUS system, which includes one central controller “ILC 350 ETH” and nine sub-system. Each sub-system is controlled by small decentralized controller “ILC 200 UNI” and exchange data with central controller by INTERBUS cyclically. The central controller is connected to local network via industrial switch "FL SWITCH SF 8TX". Kingview software is used to create SCADA system and visulization homepages are launched to Internet using WEB function. Every EduNet member can establish the connection with us and share the resources.

A Summarizer for Document Retrieval on the Web

Satoru Satake, Denis Vazhenin, Satoru Ishikawa and Klyuev Vitaly

Application development is challenging but very complex activity, especially if we talking about information retrieval application.

Nowadays index database of search engines increasing significantly, thus amount of time to find and download relevant to the end user document is also increasing. Another problem lies within current capabilities of nowadays search engines. As a result they usually give a user small snippets consisting of parts of sentences which includes the query words or phrases and cannot show contents of each web site.

To eliminate such drawbacks of current search engines we have developed a model of an application, which would solve these and related to them problems.

To prove usefulness and usability of the approach we have developed a prototype. Using which we have collected testing results, made an evaluation of the acquired statistics and finally were able to prove rightfulness and usefulness of the approach, thus proving necessity of developing a full version.

Enhancement of nonlinear control education using custom software tools

Martin Ondera, Mikulas Huba and Peter Tapak

The aim of this paper is to present two custom software tools for use with MATLAB and Maple environments, which are freely available to general public and can be used to improve education in university courses on nonlinear control systems. An e-learning course dedicated to the topic based on WebCT learning management system, which has for several recent years been used together with the software tools as a complementary form of education to regular courses on nonlinear control taught at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and IT of Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, is also discussed.
