This paper addresses a number of fundamental concepts and a novel technique for optimising practical multi-level designs for completely and incompletely specified multi-output functions. Multi-level design is the preferred approach in complex VSLI ci... Read More about Multilevel logic simplification based on containment recursive paradigm..

Higher-order sliding mode control of a diesel generator set (2003)
Journal Article

Diesel engines are used as prime movers and independent power sources in many applications because of their advantages in terms of fuel efficiency, robustness and reliability. This paper presents the results of isochronous speed controller design and... Read More about Higher-order sliding mode control of a diesel generator set.

Exact minimisation of large multiple output FPRM functions. (2002)
Journal Article

The properties of the polarity for sum-of-products (SOP) expressions of Boolean functions are formally investigated. A transform matrix S is developed to convert SOP expressions from one polarity to another polarity. It is shown that the effect of SO...

Genetic algorithm based state assignment for power and area optimisation. (2002)
Journal Article
Xia, Y., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2002). Genetic algorithm based state assignment for power and area optimisation. IEE proceedings. Computers and digital techniques, 149, 128-133. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-cdt%3A20020431

The use of assignment to minimise power dissipation and area for finite-state machines is computationally difficult. Most published results show that the reduction of switching activity often trades with area penalty. Two cost functions are introduce...

Decomposition techniques are utilised for mixed polarity Reed-Muller minimisation, which lead to Reed-Muller programmable logic array implementations for Boolean functions. The proposed algorithm produces a simplified mixed polarity Reed-Muller forma... Read More about Optimisation of Reed-Muller PLA implementations..

Fault diagnostics using sliding mode techniques (2002)
Journal Article
Goh, K. B., Spurgeon, S. K., & Jones, N. B. (2002). Fault diagnostics using sliding mode techniques. Control Engineering Practice, 10(2), 207-217. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0967-0661%2801%2900114-9

A sliding mode technique was developed and applied to analyse temperature sensor data to reveal faults. The advantage of the technique is that it allows other system parameters to be reproduced for fault diagnosis.

Development of risk analysis models for decision-making in project management. (2001)
Thesis
Guo, Q. L. Development of risk analysis models for decision-making in project management. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2745

Risks and uncertainties are inherent in construction projects and if neglected these risks often lead to project cost and time overruns. Traditional methods of forecasting risks
rely upon intuition and 'feel' which has proved inadequate for the need... Read More about Development of risk analysis models for decision-making in project management..
