| Abstract |
Flight testing of aircraft, in which new design concepts, problems, and deficiencies are examined, incorporates the collection and transmission
of large quantity of data. An aircraft is mounted with sensors and
flies a pre-planned set of manoeuvres to collect the required data.
Generally several hundred parameters such as speed, altitude, mechanical stress and pressure are sampled and transmitted to a ground receiving station. Ahead of the transmission, the data is multiplexed into a structure known as a Data Cycle Map (DCM) composed of digital words that are represented by bits. The primary objective of this research was to produce an automated approach that generates feasible efficient DCMs while complying with a given set of international telemetry standards.
The seminar will include a detailed problem description, a summary of the structure and design of a DCM, an introduction to an interesting issue related to the Chinese Remainder Theorem, which arises in the construction process, and a description of a Set Covering approach for the generation of DCMs.
