Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

1- well....i am making a project on DCS distributed control system that will control multiple parameters...like temperature,pressure , flow etc ..... but i want to modify it ... so my question is that is there any near future application of DCS....that i can employ in my project on DCS?

2-Another question is that can i control it through GSM or CDMA or satelite......

3-my another option is to make a project on WSN wireless sensors networks.. so my question is that is there any impressive and cost effective project available on this topic...

4-also can u tell me a project on NN neural netwoks....?

Cheers......

Hi faique_008,

Wow, I'm impressed at your knowledge so far.

A partial response, re your question #4: a list of Neural Network projects at the University of Texas can be found at:
http://nn.cs.utexas.edu/project-list.php

I don't know if any of these are appropriate for your project, they may be too advanced. But, if these projects are not appropriate, they may serve as an inspiration.

Hi Faique,
(1) The kind of setup you are describing would be useful for environmental monitoring near streams, where pressure, temperature and flow estimates are often used to determine the interaction between ground water and river water. There are many other possibilities.
About 2 and 3, I don't know.
(4) There are also many potential projects on neural network applications. One that I encounter in my own work is use of neural network analysis to estimate hydraulic parameters for sediments and soils.
