academics and professionals, from all fields of electrical, electronic, informatics and
industrial engineering, to gather their knowledge, encourage and share experiences and
learning.
In this version, the issues addressed mark the agenda of our countries. On the one hand,
Innovation, especially in matters related to sustainability, matter still underdeveloped at the
international level, as well as those problems associated with socio-environmental impacts
on local communities. On the other hand, the IoT, Internet of Things issue and its strategic
drawbacks associated with its generation, distribution, efficiency and use.
As in previous occasions, we will have the presence of outstanding international
exponents, who will deliver plenary sessions and share their impressions regarding the
current global scenario of innovation, science and technology. It will be a valuable
opportunity to project these matters in the short, medium and long term. It will also be a
useful opportunity to become increasingly important protagonists in the development of
these disciplines.

Vasquez Diaz culture 19 16:00
This article introduces a dynamic model for dissolved oxygen content in an aquaculture system of
whiteleg shrimp. Additionally, a non-linear controller has been designed for hourly control. This
time frequency is necessary because of the time required to reach the predicted levels of oxygen. The
dynamic model has incorporated a shrimp growth model calibrated with real data. The results show
how the controller maintains the dissolved oxygen levels in the desired target, helping to improve
production and minimize costs.

The population status of disability of the lower limbs represents a challenge to recover locomotion,
because they require costly interventions, depending on the characteristics of each patient's needs,
prosthetic-orthotic needs, or elements that help in its displacement. Such is the case of canes,
crutches, wheel chairs or other items that serve as support and help to generate the static equilibrium
of the person. Through our project, we intend to solve this inconvenience and we will generate a
local solution to local technology and designed and assembled in the center of design and ...

Traditionally, power system planners aim to promote investments in generation and transmission

One of the most noticeable effects on the loss of performance and capacity of thermal systems is caused
by the effect of altitude, which causes the density of a compressible fluid and the atmospheric pressure
to be considerably reduced, leading to a reduction of power to Electrical and thermal systems. In view
of this, lithium-ion battery packs that have forced cooling through a compressible fluid are directly
affected by environmental conditions, resulting in the loss of cooling capacity of the system, which
affects the performance of the package when it works at large altitude. The ...

This article presents a Monte Carlo--based analysis on the effects that random manufacturing errors produce
on the radiation diagram in resonant slotted linear antennas. Positional and dimensional errors over the slots
are considered. The study is performed using a tool implemented in Matlab which is based on the Taylor
synthesis of antenna parameters and the analysis is based on arrays and aperture models. The tool assesses
the impact of the different errors on the radiation pattern. The results show that slot dimension errors have
a dominant effect on the pattern. A prototype of the studied antenna was constructed and its radiation pattern
measured against the predicted mean and extreme tolerance margins. The results obtained are satisfactory,
thus validating the implemented tool.

a fourth node in the vicinity of the array acts as a base station providing connection to a notebook; the
acoustic source is assumed to be within the rectangular area defined by the three sensors. To detect the
sound wave, an analogue circuit activated by sound intensity was designed to cause a hardware interrupt to
the nodes. The localization uses the method of the Time Difference of Arrivals (TDoA) of the sound wave
to each node pair to build an equation system with three hyperbolic equations, and whose solution is the
estimated location of the acoustic source. The non-linear system is solved using an optimization-based
numerical method. ..

has been done to design solutions for this scenario. Actually, an important issue when designing such
solutions is the performance evaluation, which requires proper resources for accurate results. This paper
then proposes an experimental platform where the devices communicate via wireless and wire network.
The results show in term of performance the gap between these two networks

oxygen control scheme 19 2 16
The biological treatment of industrial waste is a priority theme for the sustainable development of any
society. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the study of the efficiency and reduction
of the energy costs of this process, as active sludge treatment plants are characterized by a high cost of
aeration. This study aims at modeling an active sludge treatment plant based on the ASM1 model, adding
a layer-based secondary settler model for the design of control schemes for the concentration of
dissolved oxygen (Cod). From the phenomenological modeling, a simulator was designed in the Matlab
environment. The biological model adequately represented changes in concentrations of bacteria and
nitrogenous species. The settler model predicted a thickening between 3-4.5 times the solids
concentration (expected range). In addition, a PID control was implemented for the regulation of Cod,
achieving an adequate and efficient level.

Inverted Pendulum 19 2 18
This work presents results of a rule based controller used to invert the rotaty inverted pendulum. The
main objective was to invert the pendulum in minimum time with a final position and velocity condition
that can be stabilized in the inverted position. The controller's parameters were tuned using a genetic
algorithm specially designed for this task. In simulation tests, the pendulum was inverted requiring just
one swing completed in 0.42[s]. The final pendulum position can be stabilized using a maximum voltage
of 1 [V]. These results shows an inversion completed in less time than the results obtained in related
works.

The following article presents the modeling and control of a refrigeration system for fruit preservation. The
mathematical model developed is based on mass balance and energy balance. It has been developed in two
blocks: analysis in the refrigeration components and analysis in the conservation chamber. In the
refrigeration system the elements have been studied: compressor, condenser, expansion valve, evaporator
and receiver. In the conservation chamber the study of the behavior of the temperature in the air of the room
and of the study of the temperature of the fruit that is in the room has been realized. Simulation tests were
performed with the on / off, PID and GPC controllers for mango conservation. The tests consisted of the
following: from a stabilized system at the preservation temperature of each fruit, a reference change was
made and we proceeded to compare these responses with respect to response time and oscillations. The PID
and GPC controllers showed better error performance in the temperature respect to the reference.

This paper presents a lambda tuner tool for the analysis and the design proportional-integral-derivative
(PID) controllers using Matlab/Simulink software. The proposed application allows the user to easily obtain
control parameters with lambda method and several traditional tuning methods. The lambda method
guarantees robustness, stability and non-oscillatory response. It should be noted that the traditional tuning
methods can’t deal with such problem. The tuning methods uses the plant model described by a first order
system with delay. Also, step response and simulation of the control system designed are shown. Finally,
the validation of the platform developed is tested with several simulations and an experimental test in a flow
process using a Compact Logix PLC. The experimental results show that the proposed tool has a high
performance.

In this work, we set the foundations for the design of a control system based on the measurement of flame's
total radiation from a combustion process. The key aspect of this approach is that flame radiation from the
combustion process can be successfully modeled means of a Hammerstein system. The static nonlinearity,
present in the examples studied by the authors, proves to be mild and measurable in absolute terms using a
flame spectral analysis based method. As a real life example, we describe the closed-loop solution applied
for the case of a ladle furnace pre-heating process. Our results show that the proposed controller is
effectively superior to the existing open loop solution commonly used in industry.

Consider the problem of H-2 filtering of a linear system in a networked control system scenario. More
precisely, the communication between the system and the filter is accomplished through a multi-hop
network where packet loss, modeled by a Markov chain with a Bernoulli distribution, may occur. The
purpose of this paper is to investigate the trade-off between the network resource saving and the performance
degradation, analyzing in particular: i) the influence of the initial probability distribution on the design of
the filter; ii) the relation of the mean square error of estimation with the probability of successful
transmissions, the adopted transport scheme or the number of maximum allowable transmissions per data
packet. Additionally, a comparison between H-2 and H-infinity filtering is also performed. The results are
obtained for a particular case study based on a Furuta's inverted pendulum.

In this paper, we propose a control model based on NCS theory to solve the vehicle-following problem,
which presents both issues: the difficulty in the identification process and a lossy network. To deal with
network losses, we use a mode dependent Markov jump linear filter coupled with a state-feedback
controller. To handle parameter uncertainty, a polytopic representation of the car model is presented.
The performance to be optimized is a guaranteed cost of the H1 norm. The proposal is compared with a
full-order mode dependent H1 controller (also a Markovian controller), which is optimal for the network
losses but cannot handle the polytopic uncertainties. Results show that our approach outperforms the
controllers that are not designed to cope with parameter uncertainties.

Lately, it has been developed many studies related to the control of uncertain systems, one reason for
this studies is because it is hard to precisely describe a system, therefore the process is expressed as
uncertain systems. One way to represent an uncertain system is by describing the model as a convex
combination of several known models. In this paper a state feedback controller is designed for an
uncertain plant using a parameter dependent Lyapunov function V(X)=X^T P(α)X that guaranties less
conservative LMIs. A way to restrict the closed loop poles based on a decay rate is also applied for the
enhanced Lyapunov function. Finally this paper minimize the norm of a controller using the parameter
dependent Lyapunov function for uncertain system. Practical results are obtained by implementing the
enhanced Lyapunv function in the inverted pendulum of Quanser® company.

strategies. 20 2 17:50
This paper addresses the problem of optimal prediction in a network control system with measurement
and control signal packet dropouts. Two packet dropout compensation schemes are considered. The
first one deals with the measurement dropout, replacing the lost observation with its optimal estimate,
which is calculated by the controller. The second one deals with the control signal dropout, by sending,
in addition to the actual control signal, a sequence of future backup control signals. Then, when a
control sequence is lost, the actuator uses one of the backup control signals stored in its buffer. We
consider almost all processing as an affine function of the available information. In this scenario, we
find a recursive algorithm for the optimal prediction of the plant state, under the assumption that each
signal in the control sequence is a linear function of the corresponding state prediction. Finally, we
show an example to illustrate our results.

Localization is one of the main tasks of autonomous mobile robots. There are many approaches on how
to determine the robot’s position with reasonable precision, as with the use of sensor fusion (IMU, GPS,
Image, LiDAR). Even though it is possible to achieve high precision with these sensors combined, a
solution that requires less resources in terms of processing, energy consumption and yet provide a good
enough estimation for position control is sought. This paper presents the application of an artificial
neural network to improve position estimates from inertial measurement in a mobile robot navigating
in an indoor environment.

Lines for Broadband PLC 19 18:30
This work deals with the known problem of forecasting overall capacity and viability of a complete
distribution feeder as the medium for Power Line Communication (PLC). The estimation involves
previewing the input impedances and power loss for each coupling arrangement on every position pair
at the feeder, calculated for frequencies between 9 kHz to 10 MHz. When we deal with PLC in primary
distribution feeders, the time changes on the stochastic parameters of the channel model are less
important than in secondary distribution, making structural modeling a good choice. The presented
algorithm is based on the existing theory of multiconductor transmission lines (MTL) and nodal
analysis. Models from literature for distribution transformers, high frequency ground losses, noise on
overhead feeders and for coupling units are considered…..

During the past thirty years there has been enormous interest in the detection of odours by means of
electronic instrumentation. This has led to the development of devices called ‘electronic noses’ that
typically include an array of selective sensors with a pattern recognition software. The present work
describes the design process of an electronic nose prototype for explosive detection. The
implementation includes the electronic design, a mathematical model for substance identification and
an experimental setup for testing. This prototype was able to detect and differentiate distinct substances
from diverse sources with a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 90% using Leave-one- out cross-
validation.

Observations in Interferometry 20 10:30
The interferometry problem addresses the estimation of an unknown quantity exploiting the
interference among measurements from different sources. These measurements are obtained from the
Fourier domain but are sparse and contaminated with noise. We propose a parametric, sum-of-basis,
model for these observations together with a Bayesian approach for reconstructing interferometry
images. Our main contributions are the construction of a model with a complex-valued noise source,
an implementation of an approximate inference method to train the model using Markov chain Monte
Carlo and a quantitative comparison against the so-called dirty algorithm, where the proposed
approach outperformed the considered baseline.

In the context of bio-acoustic sciences, call detection is a critical task for understanding the behaviour
of marine mammals such as the blue whale species (Balaeonoptera musculus) considered in this
work. In this paper we present an approach to blue whale calls detection from an unsupervised
perspective. To achieve this, we use temporal and spectral features of audio acquired with a marine
autonomous recording unit. The features considered are 46-dimensional and include the mel
frequency ceptrum coefficients, chromagrams, and other scalar quantities; these features were then
grouped via two different cluster algorithms. Our findings confirm the suitability of the proposed
approach for isolating blue whale calls from other environmental sounds (as validated by a bio-
acoustic specialist). This is a clear contribution for the annotation of blue whales calls, where the
search for calls can now be performed by analysing the clusters identified instead of the entire
recordings, thus saving time and effort for practitioners in bio-acoustics.

In this paper some methods of ultrasonic signals energy estimation are presented. The origin of this
study is a target strength and distance estimation using air coupled ultrasound sensors applied in ie.

threshold signal estimation. The signal threshold is associated with the signal energy, what implies
incorporation of energy estimation. The paper presents theoretical analysis, simulation and
measurement results of selected energy estimation methods. The methods studied are based on
continuous time waveform analog processing, digital series processing and estimation of energy using
DSP and mixed methods based on digitalization of partially processed waveform.

The acoustic wave propagation in solid structures has a specific impulse response pattern, that allows
to identify the impact location over a structure. By using piezoelectric transducers, the vibration on
the surface is translated into a voltage signal which is later analyzed to determine the position of the
impact. This technique has the potential to transform any solid object into an interactive interface.
However further studies are yet to be done, in particular, position detection algorithms have to be
developed, analysis of the signal and the relation with the position, the space resolution of this
technique, and more. In this letter, the development of a lab instrument for the study of the mentioned
technique is described and the results of several experiments are shown. Furthermore, in order to
show how the technique could be used, an application of it is presented.

the granular material inside the tilted silo, are captured and analyzed using signal processing to show
the behavior in time and frequency. The noise pollution of these acoustics waves is demonstrated by
the calculation of the sound pressure level in dB.

with the help of deep learning, so in that way the patient can move by themselves. In this project, it was
possible to perform communication computer brain, in addition to the proper functioning of the system,
also it was possible to implement a security system that protects the patient against accidents, so the
patient is safer to move; whole system gives to the patient a partial independence and thus improve

crossing technique 20 16
Knowing the wind speed is an important factor that includes several scientific areas. For the types of
existing anemometers, the ultrasonic model is what can be used in most applications. As part of the
necessary calculus for wind speed acquisition, it is needed to find the correct ultrasonic echo emitted
that has been corrupted by the environmental conditions imposed on it, and is the bigger challenge for
works that use the ultrasound. The proposed methodology by this work for the determination of the
ultrasonic envelope that arrives at the receiver, is the zero-crossing technique, but the great problem of
this method is that the wave must be free of noise and deformation in its envelope. As a solution to this,
an extended modeling of the Kalman's Filter is applied, which by means of the ultrasound equation will
estimate the correct waveform even if it is corrupted by adverse environmental factors.

Industrial production systems for smart factories or the so-called Industry 4.0 will demand high
interoperability and connectivity between production modules, so that modules could be monitored in real-
time. Production modules should make decisions on their own, with no human intervention, they must be
modular and adaptable to changing circumstances and customers’ requirements. The autonomous
operation of production modules in smart factories imposes asynchronous delays due to several reasons.
For instance, object recognition time, grasping time or welding delays that change due to a
newly reoriented or positioned component. Consequently, production modules need to be speeded up to
compensate for delays in previous production stages. In this paper, we present a novel distributed task
controller that autonomously compensate production delays..

Control Machining 18 18:30
Energy efficiency is a permanent concern in all types of production processes. The automation of
machine tools using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and the increasing introduction of manipulator
robots mean a significant improvement in the efficient use of energy versus manual production methods,
but there is still scope for improving efficiency and productivity. One of the methods to improve
efficiency is the definition of optimal trajectories in the execution of automated tasks. In small and
medium-scale flexible manufacturing systems, the tasks assigned to CNC machines are usually given in
standardized formats, such as G-code, where the paths defined from the design software do not
necessarily take into account the efficient use of the energy for a given machine. This problem is
addressed in this paper from the need to optimize the use of energy in an articulated robot that performs
a drilling task originally designed to be executed in a CNC drill. We propose a simple method to model
the energy consumption of the robot as an optimization problem in the well-known form of a Traveler
Salesman Problem (TSP), with which it is possible to use common software packages for its resolution.
The proposed solution simplifies the approach of the optimization problem in relation to other proposals
in the literature and is generalizable to other machining tasks and machining systems.

This work presents a machine learning study and its application to the specific problem of classification

method used in experiments. The experiment was carried out using as training a base containing
characteristics of 1500 songs from 10 musical genres. For the evaluation of the training, two other bases
were used, one validation set and another set of tests containing respectively 600 and 900 songs. The
results showed that k-NN behaved well in the learning process, allowing a correct classification higher
to 50%. The most confuse genre class was Bolero, maybe because of its superposed characteristics.
Genre classes like Sertanejo and Forró obtained a very low hit number and this lowered the general
average of classification. The best hit rate for the validation vector was 61.17%. For the test vector, a
hit rate of 71.5% was obtained.

In this paper, an indirect model predictive current control strategy is proposed in order to simplify the
computational cost while avoiding the use of weighting factors, aspects that constitute a disadvantage of
model predictive control in a direct matrix converter due to the large number of available switching states
and necessity for control both input and output sides of the converter. The proposed method is enhanced
with an active damping implementation which allow mitigate resonances in the input side. Simulated
results confirm the feasibility of the proposal demonstrating that it is an alternative to classical predictive
control strategies for the direct matrix converter.

One of the main drawbacks of the implementation of predictive control in a direct matrix converter is the
high computational cost and the adequate selection of weighting factors in order to control both input and
output sides. In this paper is proposed an indirect model predictive current control strategy enhanced with
a fixed switching predictive strategy and an active damping implementation. With all this, the idea is to
reduce the computational cost while eliminating the necessity of weighting factors and improving the
performance of the full system. The proposed method is based on the fictitious dc-link concept, which
has been used in the past for the classical modulation and control techniques of the direct matrix converter.
Simulated results confirm the feasibility of the proposal demonstrating that it is an alternative method to
classical predictive control strategies for the direct matrix converter.

High Efficiency 20 12:15
This paper proposes a modified DC-DC flyback converter with high efficiency. The converter is based
on an N-stages flyback converter with the inputs in parallel and output in series. A high efficiency is
obtained by including an active snubber circuit, which returns the energy stored in the transformer leakage
inductance to the input source. This topology reduces the current in each switch therefore decreasing
conduction and switching losses. A single diode and an output capacitance reduce the passive elements
and allow an economical implementation. The converter operates in discontinuous current mode (DCM)
for facilitating the control of the system and handling more power than the standard flyback converter.
The system is modeled using PSim platform and simulation results are presented and discussed.

The Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) has become the choice topology for integration of renewable
energy power plants into the grid, through submarine HVDC cables and HVDC lines. Nevertheless, the
MMC requires significant large DC storage capacitors to mitigate for the large power pulsations that result
from the single-phase like AC to DC conversion process that takes place in the arms. This work addresses
a converter topology which uses modular multilevel arms only on the lower side of the MMC converter
whereas the upper side uses only standard ON-OFF valves. This corresponds to a limit case of the
Alternate Arm Converter (AAC) with no module on the upper side and no director switch on the lower
side, i.e. an Asymmetrical ACC. Like the AAC, the Asymmetric AAC offers a significant reduction in
DC energy storage requirements. In addition, the Asymmetric AAC offers a less restricted operation than
the AAC, in terms of operating over a wide range of AC to DC voltage ratio, and the possibility of
achieving both distortion-free AC current and ripple-free DC current. The principle of operation of the
Asymmetric AAC is explained in detail and a suitable control strategy to demonstrate its operation is
developed. Proposals are verified through simulation studies and experiments conducted on a low power
prototype. Results confirm good operation of the proposed converter and control scheme.

After being aware of the high demand of vapor compression refrigeration systems for the conservation of
agri-food and hydrobiological products and the high economic costs that the use of these systems
produces, both academia and industry have carried out studies that have allowed them to develop
advanced technologies in order to produce savings in energy consumption. These advances lie in the
production of new control algorithms to be implemented in the domestic as well as the industrial, and for
the case of the academy, for tests in pilot plants. This document explains the design of a control system
based on the algorithm of an adaptive PID autotunning that has a learning process, which, to demonstrate
a better performance of the systems of cooling by compression of steam and, in addition, the controller
must avoid compressor starts, during which there is a lot of energy consumption. In addition, the

the online control quality of export fruits during the different stages of the productive process. The system
aims to alert the managers about the quality of the work that technical staff is developing inside the
orchard, and in this way to optimize production resources, ensuring that the work is being performed
under the required and expected standards. The quality control is carried out through orchard supervisors,
who utilizing a mobile are able to enter information collected in real time from the production zones, and
if its necessary, alert the managers of the estate about the state or quality of the fruit in the orchard. This
will allow taking actions in order to improve or to correct the procedures are being developed.

The principal reason why one of the most important challenges in the future is the reduction of their energy
demand throughout the life cycle, is for the high energy consumption in buildings and his role as relevant
actor on climate change and atmospheric pollution in south cities of Chile. In this context, insulation
materials are a key factor to reduce the energy demand during the operational stage of a building. These
materials are however commonly fabricated from petrochemicals with high energy consumption,
causing significant detrimental effects on the environment during the production and discarding stage.
Due these reasons, insulation materials based on natural fibers waste appear as an excellent alternative,
due to abundant availability in south regions, potential low cost, low energy consumption during
the production stage and high biodegradation rate at the end of life. In this research, a block type insulation
based on wheat straw and corn shell residual fibers was developed. Taguchi method was applied to …

Detecting communities in non-trivial networks is a hard task that has been attracting

this task to be easy. We show in this paper that, surprisingly, it is not the case. For
this purpose, we carried out a controlled experiment in which 9 well-known

In telecommunication networks resilience intuitively refers to cycles and their
lengths. More specifically, considering that the shortest cycle involving each pair of
nodes in the network can be disassembled into two disjoint paths, a working path and
a backup path, the average of the shortest cycles involving each pair of nodes in the
network can be considered as an indicative of resilience. In turn, the residual mean
distances (RMDs) measure the resilience of a telecommunication network from the
difference between the average hop distances in the network before and after each

Plenary Talk 1: What Authors Should Know to Successfully Publish Papers in Good Journals
Abstract: Since different publication formats are designed to reach various audiences, they often
undergo different review procedures, and have widely different impact. Ultimately, however, papers
and publications are judged by their relevance, readership and citations they acquire. Bibliometric
impact measures for journals and for individuals as expressed by Impact Factor and other indicators
are reviewed and compared for major journals in different subject areas. Forward citation trees
provided by ISI/Web of Science are reviewed as ultimate examples of authors’ achievement. Open
Access publishing paradigm is also discussed. By comparing the perspectives of authors, readers and
editors, this seminar offers ample guidelines for reviewing, but mostly for preparing, writing and
publishing successful technical papers. Practical guidance for authors is also covered as well as ethical
aspects of publishing.

Plenary Talk: Data Management Support for moving-object data

Abstract:
Due to the current advances in sensor networks, wireless technologies, and RFID-enabled ubiquitous
computing, data about moving-objects (also referred as trajectories) is an example of massive data
relevant in many real applications. Think in the notion of Smart Cities, which implies the use of
information and communication technologies in combination with social and human capital to
enhance the quality of life of a community. In this context, the optimization of the transportation
systems by control surveillance, road planning, and road navigation systems are of special relevance.
Trajectories can be reconstructed from, for example, modern cellular phones with GPS devices or
from smartcards (that users can recharge with money) of public transportation systems. In this
presentation, I cover past and current research efforts addressing the modeling and processing of
moving object data. I review data models to represent where and when objects have been or will be.
I consider for query processing the main types of queries and data structures and state the challenging
issues of our current research.

Plenary Talk: Human-robot collaboration for smart factories
Abstract:
Industrial robots are reliable machines for manufacturing tasks such as assembly, welding, painting
and palletizing operations. They have been traditionally programmed by an operator using a teach
pendant in a point-to- point scheme with limited sensing capabilities such as industrial vision systems
and force/torque sensing. Today, industrial robots can react to environment changes specific to their
task domain but are still unable to learn skills to effectively use their current knowledge. The need
for such a skill in unstructured environments where knowledge can be acquired and enhanced is
desirable so that robots can effectively interact in multimodal real-world scenarios.
In this paper, an alternative approach based on Artificial Neural Networks to embed and effectively
enhance knowledge into industrial robots working in manufacturing scenarios is reviewed. During
learning, the robot uses its sensorial capabilities resembling a human operator to successfully
accomplish the requested operation in assembly and welding. Current work, issues and experiments
are presented and future work envisaged regarding learning in distributed systems in smart factories
involving human-robot interaction.

Plenary Talk: On fractional derivatives and systems
Abstract:
Fractional behavior is ubiquitous. In fact, many natural and man-made systems exhibit a fractional
behavior that can be observed from several representations. The most important are the “power law”,
the “long range dependence”, and the “non 20-dB increase/decrease” in Bode diagrams. This will be
illustrated with some examples.
To obtain correct mathematical formulations for modelling such systems, the fractional derivatives
are required. In order to avoid the difficulty of introducing many derivative formulations, a heuristic
approach will be followed in order to obtain derivatives with a full agreement with classic results that
will emerge as particular cases.
The fractional linear systems will be presented and a brief study will be done.

Plenary Talk: Optimization & Decision Making in Intelligent Urban Transportation Systems
This plenary talk is concerned with the application of intelligent control theory in the future road
transportation systems. With the development of human society, the demand for transportation is
much stronger than any other period in history. More flexible and more comfortable, private cars are
preferred by many people. Besides, the development of automobile industry reduces the cost to own
a car, thus car ownership has been growing rapidly worldwide, especially in major cities. However,
the increase of car number makes our society to suffer from traffic congestions, exhaust pollution
and accidents. These negative effects force people to find ways out. In this context, the concept of
“Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)'' is proposed. Scientists and engineers have been working
for decades to apply multidisciplinary technologies to transportation, in order to make it closer to our
vision, such as safer, more efficient, more effort saving, and environmentally friendly. One aspect
is (semi-)autonomous systems. The main idea is to use autonomous applications to assist/replace
human operation and decision. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are designed to assist
drivers by alerting them when danger (e.g. lane keeping, forward collision warning), acquiring more
information for decision-making (e.g. route plan, congestion avoidance) and liberating them from
repetitive and trick maneuvers (e.g. adaptive cruise control, automatic parking). In semi-automatic
systems, driving process still needs the involvement of human driver: the driver should set some
parameters in the system, and he/she can decide to follow the advisory assistance or not. Recently,
with the improvement of sensing technology and artificial intelligence, enterprises and institutes have
been committed to the research and development of autonomous driving.
The main aspects which will be discussed are summarized by:
A PSO (particle swarm optimization)-based platoon control algorithms for following vehicles in
platoons. Constraints like control input, engine power and maximum speed are considered when
designing the cost function. It is an attempt of applying bionic optimization algorithm in vehicular
platoon control. The parameters are regulated to response to potential real-time usage in the future.
-VI) to improve the
intersection's throughput by taking advantage of the `òpportunity space'' on road. The vehicular
platoons are reorganized to accelerating platoon and decelerating platoon based on vehicles' dynamic
abilities.
For intersections without crosswalk, there are no other individuals but vehicles. In this case, except
traffic lights, there can have some other management methods with the help of V2X communications.
Decentralized Autonomous Intersection Control (DAIC) is designed for light traffic situations, to
control vehicles to get through the intersection with no collision and less delay. Before arriving at
the intersection, a vehicle demands the space-time occupancy situation from the intersection
manager, and based on the motion of the preceding vehicle, it will adjust its own velocity to a
collision-free value and it should maintain this velocity until fully getting through the intersection.
Basically, DAIC is an enumerative negotiation-based method. A simulation testbed to test the
intersection control algorithm is designed in UML then realized by the combination of Matlab and a
traffic simulator SUMO.

Trajectory Planning based Autonomous Intersection Management (TP-AIM) for all traffic densities
is presented. Based on the occupancy information from the manager, the vehicle searches for safe
entering windows. And according to these windows and the future motion of the preceding vehicle,
a dynamic programming based method is used to plan the vehicle's trajectory. The related
communication procedure is also described. Compared to traditional and adaptive traffic lights, the
efficiency of TP-AIM is greatly improved. The principle of TP-AIM could be used in different types
of intersections even in heavy traffic conditions

Plenary Talk: HVDC Grids and Renewable Energy Integration

Abstract: Renewable Energy is a key contributor to fight climate change. Latest bids in Europe and elsewhere
have shown that renewable energy can be provided at competitive market price. Even some of the new off-shore
wind power plants to be installed in the North Sea will operate without any subsidies, competing directly in
electricity markets with other sources of energy.
Nevertheless, there is a continuous drive to make bulk wind energy and other renewable energy sources more and
more competitive. Substantial research is taking place to reduce the total cost of electricity generated by off-shore
wind farms.
A key component is the reduction of grid connection and transmission costs. High Voltage DC connections are
used for the connection of large off-shore wind farms and large electric systems. This kind of links are paramount
to bring large amounts of electricity across large distances. Therefore, both cost reduction and increase on
reliability are constant drivers for more advanced HVDC technology.
This talk will address the following topics:
 Technical hurdles for high penetration of renewable energy.
 State of off-shore wind farms in Europe.
 State-of-the-art HVDC connection technologies.
 Power Electronics and their control for the connection of off-shore wind farms using HVDC links,
including diode rectifiers.
 European research on meshed HVDC grids.

Plenary Talk: Optimización de redes inalámbricas complejas: es machine learning

la panacea?
Abstract: Los esfuerzos dedicados a la optimización de redes inalámbricas se han basado
tradicionalmente en la caracterización del comportamiento y de las interacciones de los dispositivos
de red. Por este motivo el nivel de complejidad que estos métodos pueden gestionar es limitado y
habitualmente es necesario realizar simplificaciones que distan del comportamiento real. Pero ante la
creciente complejidad de las redes actuales, sobretodo en entornos urbanos, debida a los incrementos
en densidad, heterogeneidad y demanda de tráfico, se hace necesario el uso de métodos alternativos.
Una de las alternativas que más atención está captando en la comunidad científica es el uso de
machine learning ya que los algoritmos que usan estas técnicas son capaces, en teoría, de optimizar
el rendimiento basándose únicamente en el resultado de las acciones tomadas. En esta charla, a través
de un ejemplo concreto como es el de coexistencia de redes WiFi con redes celulares en las bandas
libres, veremos qué oportunidades presentan estos algoritmos pero también daremos una mirada
crítica a los retos que se deben superar para garantizar su correcto funcionamiento en la práctica.

Plenary Talk:
ReRAM: An Emerging Device Technology for Storage, Computing and Learning
Abstract: Resistive switching electronic devices (ReRAM devices or memristors) have been known
ever since the 60s. However, owing to the physical realization of the Chua’s memristor by the
Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in 2008, new research tracks and trends in modern circuit design have
indeed been created. The memristor, a nanoscale, nonvolatile, two-terminal resistive device whose
resistance changes depending on the input signal applied to its terminals, is currently being explored
for several emerging applications regarding upgraded and novel, energy-efficient digital/analog
implementations such as nonlinear (chaotic) circuits, storage systems, logic circuits, neuromorphic
and generally unconventional circuit architectures. This talk covers a timely topic of academic and
industrial interest, aiming to stimulate further research on memristive devices, circuits, and systems.
It particularly considers the design and development of nanoelectronic circuits, systems and
computing architectures focusing on memristor as the main storage and computing element. The
ultimate goal is to explore and report the major related challenges and present state-of-the-art research
directions for the smooth transition from conventional circuit technologies to emerging, beyond von
Neumann computing nanotechnologies. The presented material spans from fundamental device
modeling to emerging, dense, multi-level storage system architectures and novel, unconventional
circuit design methodologies, targeting advanced analog/digital, massively parallel, neural-based
computational and learning structures.
Biography: Dr. Ioannis Vourkas was born in Kozani, Greece, in 1985. He received the M.Eng. (Diploma) and
Ph.D. degrees, both in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), from the Democritus University of Thrace
(DUTh), Xanthi, Greece, in 2008 and 2014, respectively. Currently he is faculty member of the Department of
Electronic Engineering, Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, Valparaíso, Chile. Previously he was
Postdoctoral Researcher with the Centro de Investigación en Nanotecnología y Materiales Avanzados (CIEN-
UC), Department of Electrical Engineering, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (PUC), Santiago, Chile. His
research emphasis is on novel nanoelectronic circuits and architectures comprising memristors. Specifically, his
research so far focused on the modeling and simulation of memristors, the design and simulation of analog/digital
circuits, nonvolatile (multi-level) memory architectures with memristors, resistive networks and neural networks
based on memristors, as well as electronic systems implementing computational models and algorithms of
artificial intelligence using memristors (e.g. for maze-solving, shortest path and traveling salesman problem, etc.).
In all the aforementioned research topics, he is the main author of one of the first memristor-related monographs
of the literature entitled “Memristor-Based Nanoelectronic Computing Circuits and Architectures” including a
foreword by Prof. Leon Chua, published by Springer in 2015, of one book chapter in “Memristor Networks” (A.
Adamatzky, L. Chua, eds.), of more than 17 journal articles and of several technical papers presented in
international conferences. Currently, his research endeavor is funded through a three-year CONICYT
FONDECYT Postdoctorado Chilean government research grant (2015-2018) and involves the development of
novel bio-inspired and bio-mimicking memristive circuit models, memristive artificial neural processing and
learning systems, and massively parallel unconventional memristive computing approaches targeting state-of-the-
art nanoelectronic hardware platforms. His research interests further include modern unconventional computing,
software and hardware aspects of parallel complex computational (bio-inspired) circuits and systems, cellular
automata theory and applications, circuit design and simulation.

Plenary Talk: Control challenges in dealing with Cyber-Physical Systems
Abstract: A cyber-physical system integrates computing, communication and storage capabilities

within entities in the physical world. Traditionally, control designers and real-time computer and
telecommunication experts work separately. The first conceive the control algorithms based on the
required performance and the process knowledge, regardless their subsequent implementation,
whereas the computer experts deal with the control code without paying much attention to the impact
of the code execution in the control performance, and the communication experts provide the link,
assuming data accessibility and validity. But they are interlaced and the full design should be jointly
treated, mainly if the control tasks share resources with some other activities and these resources are
limited. In this talk, the real-time control design and implementation will be reviewed, mainly from
the control perspective.
Global requirements in control applications in time critical environments, such as automobile,
aerospace or flight control, where multiple interactive control loops are implemented, are reviewed.
Special attention is devoted to new and widespread control scenarios where the controller is not
anymore implemented in a full dedicated computer without resources constraints, but sharing and
competing for computing, storage and communication facilities with several other tasks. Embedded
control systems, networked control systems and event-based control systems challenge the design of
the control and its implementation where architectural issues play a relevant role in the controlled
system performance. Some key concepts interacting with both, the control performance and the
control implementation, such as the control effort or the control kernel are emphasized and some
general directions in the co-design are summarized.
Biography: Pedro Albertos, past president of IFAC (the International Federation of Automatic
Control) in 1999-2002, IFAC Fellow, IFAC Advisor and Life Senior Member of IEEE, is a world
recognized expert in real-time control, leading several projects in the field. Full Professor since 1975,
he is currently Emeritus Professor at Systems Engineering and Control Dept. UPV, Spain. He is
Doctor Honoris-Causa from Oulu University (Finland) and Bucharest Polytechnic (Rumania). Invited
Professor in more than 20 Universities, he delivered seminars in more than 30 universities and
