        Previous code compression research on embedded systems was based on typical RISC instruction code. THUMB from ARM Ltd is a compacted 16-bits instruction set showing a density great code density than its original 32-bits ARM instruction. Our research shows that THUMB code is compressible and a further 10-15% code size reduction on THUMB code can be expected using our proposed new architecture – Code Compressed THUMB Processor. In our proposal, Level 2 cache or additional RAM space is introduced to serve as the temporary storage for decompressed program blocks. A software implementation of the architecture is proposed and we have implemented a software prototype based on ARM922T processor, which runs on the ARMulator.

        Decision making is done in many application areas. Still most studies are done in such fields as economyand production planning. In methodologies used there exists more variation. This paper reviews the decisionconcepts discussed in the literature. Also some decision models by the author are commented. The field andpractise in decision science is summarized. Although decision support systems are the final results of manyprojects, they are mostly based on the decision concepts behind the studies that deserve also more detailedexamination. Decision analysis approach and knowledge-based technologies are examples of commonlyused concepts.

        To improve recognition results, decisions of multiple neural networks can be aggregated into a committeedecision. In contrast to the ordinary approach of utilising all neural networks available to make a committeedecision, we propose creating adaptive committees, which are specific for each input data point. A predictionnetwork is used to identify classification neural networks to be fused for making a committee decision abouta given input data point. The jth output value of the prediction network expresses the expectation level thatthe jth classification neural network will make a correct decision about the class label of a given input datapoint. The proposed technique is tested in three aggregation schemes, namely majority vote, averaging, andaggregation by the median rule and compared with the ordinary neural networks fusion approach. Theeffectiveness of the approach is demonstrated on three well known real data sets and also applied to faultidentification of the actuator valve at one sugar factory within the DAMADICS RTN.

The present work proposes a virtual instrument based solution for HART signal analysis that includes a digital oscilloscope with GPIB interface, a HART modem, a PC with a GPIB interface board and a RS232 port, and a software component developed in LabVIEW. The HART analyser permits the visualisation of signals that correspond to the HART protocol, gives access to data coming from field instruments and has the ability to analyse and modify field instrument performance.

        An increasing number of distributed sensor networks are being deployed in a wide spectrum of scenarios for both military and civilian applications. The design of such systems requires the integration of many methods for solving various problems ranging from sensor deployment, through data communication, information fusion to environmental inference and hypothesis testing. This paper is focused on the network aspects in support of data communication services. We present some recent developments in networking techniques for multiple sensor systems in three topics: efficient mobile agent routing in mobile agent-based distributed sensor networks, bandwidth aggregation using multiple paths in wide-area wireline networks, and connectivity enhancement using node movements in small-area wireless mobile ad-hoc networks.

        Characteristics of impulse bursts in satellite images are analyzed and methods for burst removal are considered. Artificial compact burst model is proposed and test images are created. An advanced multipass algorithm for the detection and removal of compact bursts in the presence of both additive and multiplicative noise is proposed. The efficiency of the algorithm is evaluated quantitatively using the artificial test images and visually using the artificial test images and real radar and optical satellite images. It is shown through experiments that the proposed method removes impulse bursts efficiently while preserving information.
