Between the 15th and the 20th of May 2000, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering organized the Seventh Annual Students’ International Computers Contest

HARD & SOFT Suceava 2000

The aim of the contest was to design and construct a vehicle that could automatically follow a path defined by four different infra-red sources. The vehicle consisted of a pair of geared dc motors which provided propulsion and steering, a directional infra-red sensor to monitor the I-R source, a Analog Devices DSP card to process and analyze the I-R signals and a motor card to provide adequate power for the motors.

The President of the Jury Committee was Prof. John MILNER (from City University, London), who was assisted by:

- Prof. Oleg BREKHOV from Moscow Aviation Institute
- Prof. Jean Michel DUTHILLEUL from Université des Sciences et Technologies de Lille
- Lecturer Darius MIKALAUSKAS from City University, London.

The ranking of the participating teams:

                         1st prize – “Politehnica” University of Bucharest
                            2nd prize – Technical University of Timisoara
                            3rd prize – “Stefan cel Mare” University of Suceava.

Next year, our faculty will organize the 8th Edition of the contest, and welcome representatives from the technical universities in Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Russia, Moldavia and Romania.

Abstract. This paper proposes the introduction of a Service Platform for the creation, execution and management of multimedia services in heterogeneous networks. Examining the business-roles, the actors in the Service Platform are identified. Furthermore several common building blocks for developing services for the Internet are described and a brief overview of some modern technologies for an object-oriented, component-based, distributed platform for multimedia services is given. It is shown that the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is very useful to implement all functions according to the multimedia part of the Platform. A certain number of use cases demonstrate the usefulness and the ability of this protocol to introduce a session concept. By this, we want to cover many important requirements, which could appear in service platforms with multimedia-oriented goals. Finally an outlook of open research topics regarding this concept is given as well as a short overview of related work.
Key words:  Service Platforms, SIP, Multimedia Services, Heterogeneous Networks, Convergence

Abstract. Factors like new demands of knowledge and skills, economic pressure and greater diversity of further education students, require new forms of learning and teaching and an adequate management of projects to introduce such forms. This paper presents an ongoing European cooperation about the management of Web-based learning projects, including the development of learning environments for further education. It is based on experience the project partners gained in this direction within national and European projects.
Keyword: project management, Web-based learning, virtual learning environments

Abstract: The microwave drying has been experimentally investigated on a laboratory scale. The experiments were performed at different levels of microwave heating power. The kinetic of drying process was studied using an exponential model Results obtained show a high level of correlation between applied microwave power and drying rate.
Keywords: Microwave Drying, Exponential Model, Microwave Power.

Abstract. Consensus reaching is a fundamental issue in the field of distributed systems; having a consensus reaching strategy helps solving problems like leader election or the committing of distributed transactions, which turn out to be of great use in building of reliable, fail-safe distributed systems. We examine two cases where specific types of failures are allowed within the network: link failures and process failures.
Keywords: distributed consensus, fault tolerance, fail-safe distributed systems, synchronous networks

Abstract: The principle of vector control of electrical drives is based on the control of both the magnitude and the phase of each phase current and voltage. For as long as this type of control considers the three-phase system as three independent systems the control will remain analog and thus present several drawbacks. The most common of these accurate vector controls is presented in this document: the Field Orientated Control, a digital implementation which demonstrates the capability of performing direct torque control, of handling system limitations and of achieving higher power conversion efficiency.
Keywords: Field Oriented Control (FOC), Pulse With Modulation (PWM), Space Vector Pulse With Modulation (SVPWM).

Abstract: This paper presents a method for utilizing the on-chip PWM generators on a TMS320Cx DSP for digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion. The method involves analog low-pass filtering the PWM signal to remove high frequency components, leaving only the low-frequency content. Theoretical and experimental results are presented to quantify the achievable bit resolution. In addition, analog low-pass filter design is discussed and an example 3 rd order filter design is given. The achievable D/A bandwidth is on the order of 500 to 1000 Hz. Such bandwidth is useful for real-time system debug purposes, and also suitable in less demanding applications such as low performance servo control or man-machine interfacing.
Keywords: PWM, DSP, low-pass filtering.

COMMON OPEN POLICY SERVICE IN COMUNICATIONS SECURITY

Abstract.  This document describes the use of the Common Open Policy Service (COPS) protocol for support of policy provisioning (COPS-PR ) in technical security systems.  This specification is independent of the type of policy being provisioned (Security, etc.) but focuses on the mechanisms and conventions used to communicate provisioned information between Policy Decision Points and Policy Enforcement Point. The protocol extensions described in this document do not make any assumptions about the policy data model being communicated, but describe the message formats and objects that carry the modeled policy data.
Keywords: Protocol, Common Open Policy Service, Policy Information Base, Request, Decision, Report State.
