The knowledge-based approach for complex systems assessment and forecasting is justified. Production systems of the form "object 0-state (as the system components) – process (system processes, status change operator or support) – object i-state (system)" are discussed along with the problems of the information support development for implementing the methodological foundation for the complex monitoring systems analysis. The basis for the information-entropy approach is determined for forming models for objects of study with the purpose of object analysis of the state of natural and technogenic origin systemic formations using knowledge-oriented data and generating new knowledge. The information system is shown for collecting and storing the status data of the object of study under monitoring, transmitting data to generate models, analyzing the results and making an informed decision., Обоснован знание-ориентированный подход к оцениванию и прогнозированию состояния сложных систем.

Dynamically changing machining conditions and uncertain manufacturing resource availability are forcing manufacturing enterprises to implement advanced process planning and control systems with an adaptive machining information model in order to increase productivity and ensure product quality. This article proposes a dynamic feature modelling method for closed-loop machining process control of complex parts. A software platform is developed to include feature modelling software units with algorithms to represent and integrate geometric, machining, inspection and monitoring information and a service software unit with algorithms to update dynamic feature information and trigger online inspection. A multi-thread execution approach and a finite state machine method are adopted to support the execution and collaboration of multiple algorithms for dynamic feature modelling. A sharing memory approach is utilised for real-time communication between software units and the computer numerical control (CNC) kernel. The dynamic feature model is highly informative and can support autonomous decision-making and bidirectional information flow. By implementing the proposed dynamic feature modelling, a closed-loop process machining control including the integration of process planning, machining, inspection and monitoring for complex parts can be achieved.

Este estudo envolve a compreensão do monitoramento da informação (MI) e da inteligência competitiva (IC), mas, principalmente, buscando refletir em como superar os múltiplos desafios organizacionais, voltado para a informação e o conhecimento. A gestão da informação e do conhecimento, bem como, a IC constituem uma nova abordagem para o planejamento e a administração estratégica das organizações, fortalecendo o seu processo de tomada de decisão. A interdependência resultante da globalização e o surgimento do que se convencionou chamar “sociedade do conhecimento”, e também a aceleração decorrente das tecnologias da informação e comunicação (TIC) impactaram e tiveram conseqüências sobre as organizações, ocasionando mudanças nos métodos de trabalho, produção, pesquisa e de utilização dos dados e informações. Assim, com o advento das novas relações econômicas, tanto nacionais quanto internacionais, e de um novo paradigma tecnológico, baseado, por exemplo, na produção flexível, as organizações se depararam com uma competição acirrada e um volume de dados e informações gigantescos. Esse processo está gerando, de um lado, uma crescente imprevisibilidade dos mercados e de outro, o encurtamento do ciclo de vida das tecnologias de produtos e processos. As organizações precisam reconstruir diariamente sua capacidade competitiva, para fazer frente aos riscos de entrada de novos concorrentes, às mudanças nos padrões de consumo, ao surgimento de novas tecnologias de produto e processo, etc. Nesse contexto de competição acirrada e o bombardeio constante de informações, devido ao processo de democratização da comunicação e do aumento do número de canais de mídia disponíveis, o MI e a IC surgem como uma das possíveis maneiras de conduzir e planejar movimentos para traçar cenários no ambiente organizacional. Muitas vezes, as organizações são pródigas em acumular informações, mas não sabem o que fazer com elas. Mas, as decisões devem ser tomadas para manter a empresa alinhada aos seus objetivos pretendidos, com base nas informações adequadas de interesse do seu negócio, induzindo a se buscar posturas organizacionais proativas, com posicionamentos da organização fortalecidos sobre seu ambiente informacional e organizacional, buscando um acerto diante das diversas alternativas desses ambientes. This study involves the understanding of the monitoring information (MI) and competitive intelligence (CI), but mainly trying to reflect on how to overcome the many organizational challenges, focusing on information and knowledge. Managing information and knowledge, as well as the IC is new approaches to planning and strategic management of organizations, strengthening their decision-making process. The interdependence resulting from globalization and the emergence of so-called "knowledge society", and also due to the acceleration of information and communication technologies (ICT) impacted and had consequences for organizations, leading to changes in working methods, production, research and use of data and information. So with the advent of new economic relations, both domestic and international, and a new technological paradigm based on, for example, in flexible production organizations were faced with stiff competition and a volume of data and information giant. This process is generating on the one hand, an increasing unpredictability of the markets and the other, shortening the life cycle of technology products and processes. Organizations need to rebuild their competitiveness in a daily basis, to face the risk of new competitors, changes in consumption patterns, the emergence of new product and process technologies. In this context of fierce competition and constant bombardment of information, due to the democratization of communication and the increasing number of media channels available, the MI and CI emerge as one of the possible ways of conducting and planning scenarios to trace movements in the organizational environment. Very often, organizations are lavish in accumulating information, but do not know what to do with them. But decisions must be taken to keep the company aligned with its intended goals, based on interesting adequate information to the business, leading to pursue proactive organizational positions, with positions on the organization strengthened by its organizational and informational environment, seeking an accuracy of the various alternatives facing these environments.

Children with cardiac arrhythmias constitute one of the most difficult problems in cardiology both in terms of diagnosis and management. In such cases continuous monitoring of ECG vital signs and environmental conditions can significantly improve the identification of a possible arrhythmia. In this study we present the design and development of a system which enables the continuous monitoring of children, from the hardware and software perspective. The system is able to carry out real-time acquisition and transmission of ECG signals, and facilitate an alarm scheme able to identify possible arrhythmias so as to notify the on-call doctor and the relatives of the child that an event may be happening. In-house monitoring of a child is performed using a sensor network able to record and transmit ECG and the living conditions, while outside the house, monitoring is performed through a GPRSIUMTS enabled device. The transmitted information can be accessed through a web based platform which facilitates basic an electronic patient record module and continuous display of monitoring information of the patient. The system design and development steps are finished and the initial tests performed on healthy volunteers proved to be very promising. ©2009 IEEE. Conference code: 79527 Cited By :2
