Abstract—Establishment of index system plays a crucial role in the course of uncertain information system evaluation. However, there is not a quantitative means on the problem of constructing the index system for uncertain information system. In order to solve these problems, a novel synthetic algorithm is put forward based on fuzzy set theory and grey relation analysis in this paper. Fuzzy membership degree is used to ascertain the importance of index by using of fuzzy set theory. At the same time, grey relation matrix is used to analysis the relativity of index. Moreover, the rationality and the dependability of index system are validated by using of validity coefficient and dependability coefficient. On base of it, the model of index selection is set up and applied in the index selection of alarm window on main control room of the nuclear power plant. Results of the case study prove that the proposed method is reasonable and feasible.

Abstract— This paper proposes the position control of DC motor. Two methods are used for position control, LQR method and feedback linearization. We show that these methods without load torque are stable, but, when load is added to the motor's shaft, LQR and feedback linearization can not make efficient input signal for reference tracking in output. To solve this problem, we combined these methods and will show by using combined method, the position of shaft tracks reference in presence of large torque. For validation of new controller, we compared response with LQR and feedback linearization. Simulation results show stable response of new method.

Abstract— The role of information technology (IT) in the business arena has continuously shifted over the last decades, and it has become an important part of how companies manage and control their resources. During the last years business computing has changed from these basic local data administrative systems into international computer networks, and as the sophistication of the computer systems increased, so did the investment cost. So, traditionally, companies tend to perceive their IT-systems as costs, often due to IT being looked at as a support function. And user satisfaction in IT usage is critical because this construct is often viewed as a surrogate for IT success.

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the body of knowledge about to what extent IT affects the ability to solve accounting tasks. We will measure the impact of IT on user satisfaction and on accounting information use.

The relationship between IT and accounting practices was investigated quantitatively using a postal survey. The findings suggest that user satisfaction in IT usage, the use of accounting techniques and accounting information increases with new IT investments.

Abstract—Efficient sensor node localization algorithm is a research highlight in the applications of wireless sensor networks (WSN). An event information with few node location information is meaningless in practical application. The number and density of nodes shared by unknown-distance node pair are applied to establish close degree model in the paper. The close degree model is also combined with the triangle similarity theory to propose a mathematical model to calculate the distance of single-hop and multi-hop nodes. The simulation results show that the normalized localization error of the improved algorithm is smaller than the conventional DV-HOP algorithm.

Abstract—Based on APIOBPCS model, and treating forecast tache as an integral part of the supply chain, also transforming the traditional supply chain serial structure through information sharing, and adopting the methods of control-engineering based on transformation and bullwhip effect measurement, the paper studied the impact of information sharing on the bullwhip effect of three-tier supply chain network which was comprised of manufacturer - distributor - retailor. The simulation results show that information sharing can reduce bullwhip effect, but it can not eliminate bullwhip effect. Finally, through discussing the impacts of logistics delay time parameters and the first-order exponential smoothing forecasting parameters on bullwhip effect, the measures to be used to weaken bullwhip effect is given.

Abstract—Our team developed a portable three dimension (3D) body measurement system based on binocular stereo vision. By measuring the body using the system, the body scan line point cloud is reconstructed. Because the surface properties, occlusions and accessibility limitations cause scanners to miss some surface areas, leading to incomplete reconstruction and introducing holes in the resulting models. In this paper, a simple and efficient method is proposed to fill holes. Based on the characteristics of scan line point cloud orderly stored in computer, points that belong to same scan line are fitted into a curve by cubic parametric spline function. Before that, the overlapping points which are not accessible to fit curve are removed and data points that are so dense to make computer poor efficiency are reduced. Because cubic parametric spline has C0, C1 and C2 continuity at each junction point, the filled points naturally transit to initial points and the holes are disappeared. Then body model without holes whose points are even distributed is constructed.

Keywords-3D body measurement, scan line point cloud, body model, fill holes, removing overlapping points, point data reduction, fitting curve, cubic parametric spline

Abstract—Prediction of the seawall foundation settlement is important to the engineering maintenance and disaster prevention. A new method based on the improved variable dimension fraction (IVDF) and artificial neural network (ANN) was presented on the example of the seawall located in Zhejiang Province of China. The settlement displacement analysis for a single point located on the seawall was performed. The analysis consists of three stages: idea of IVDF-ANN model analysis,IVDF-ANN modeling, and deformation forecast. The result proves that IVDF-ANN model makes good use of the self-similarity of fractal theory and the self-learning ability of artificial neural network, and the method has a degree of applicability.

Abstract—At present, by using qualitative methods, many scholars studied their motivation mechanisms and analyzed their motivation factor and processes from the perspective of behavior and psychology, but attempts to consider the interaction among the knowledge employees, between the knowledge employees and the enterprises have been very few. So, this paper establishes two evolutionary game models for studying motivation mechanisms of the knowledge employees under the assumptions that the enterprises and the knowledge employees all have bounded rationality. By using replicator dynamics equations, this paper analyses the strategy choice on the interaction between the knowledge employees and the enterprises, among the knowledge employees, and furthermore, discusses the evolutionary stability strategies of the knowledge employees and the enterprises.

Abstract—We present a novel method for idle and work states classification in brain computer interface (BCI) based on steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP). Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and maximum contrast combination (MCC) are used to extract features of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The correlation coefficients from CCA and SNR from MCC were classified by a linear classifier. Then an extra strategy of excluding alpha wave interference helped improve the classification accuracy. This method had a good performance in real EEG signals.

Abstract—Packet loss limits the speech quality of voice over IP and the effect is described with the packet-loss dependent effective equipment impairment factor in E-model. The existing model of the factor is associated with the speech codec and limited to the network with low loss burst Ratio. With the experiments, this paper tries to find the variables in the relation with the speech quality over packet-loss network, and introduces the loss location and the distribution of the loss in burst into the model of the factor with the neural network. Compared with different models with different input parameters, the experiment results show a great prediction gain in the trained model combined with one packet loss and voice loss rate. The model can be used to predicate the speech quality in live combined with the E-model.
