Tallinn, Estonia, January 29-30, 2018
This 2-day Study Group event focuses on the efficient usage of fractional-order approach in system control domain and signal processing. It takes the advantage of direct interaction and knowledge transfer between academics and industry partners. Based on the problems presented the by the industry to the participants from academia, after brainstorming within the groups the first steps towards possible solutions for the specified problems are expected to be discussed together the industry. The event targets both national and international companies being active in Europe and also worldwide.
The LDI Innovation and Antasya Software & Consultancy Inc companies from Estonia and Turkey will participate at the event and provide the issues described below and are open to initiate close cooperation with you and use methods based on fractional approach.
Take part in the event, show your skills, make new colleagues and get access to valuable company partner for your future research and development activities.

Background of the topic
Biochemistry, analytical chemistry, kinetics, heterophasic reaction
Problem description
The development of the relevant time-resolved kinetic model of receptor-ligand complexes formation are non-trivial task at some times. The data points are not stable during the experiment that has many reasons from diffusion, chemicals, equipments etc. Especially, it is very difficult to treatment of diffusion processes for heterophasic systems where some reagent immobilized on the surface of the solid carrier. The unstable flowing of liquids around surfaces are leads to irregular mass-transfer between the layers of reagent near of surface. In this case the reaction can not achieve steady state that produced uncertain level of receptor-ligand complexes formation. In addition, the nonspecific processes are presented in the system that gives the false and disordered signals.
Another one source of problems are going from imperfect of equipments that provides unstable signal intensity during the measurements with additional noise level. Initial part of plot are very important for model resolving but it measured on weak intensities of signals and has essential deviation.
In the brief description we can not report all possibilities of error sources that can be extended. On the Figure 1. are illustrated example of data set with predicted model curve that reflect the difficulty of our challenge.
Development of mathematical tools for certain model selection by the fuzzy data sets essential increased the quality of kinetic studies for reactions in heterophasic conditions.

Background of the topic
signal processing, GPS localization
Problem description
We deal with the developing a software system for public transportation system. The system collects data from integrated sensors such as GPS, People Counting system, Tire Pressure System etc. on the buses of the public transportation system. We are aware that accuracy of data is important to analysis of the system behavior. Since we know the route of the bus on a daily duty, we can try to estimate the localization of the bus. Currently two GPS sensors are placed on the bus, one of high performance, the other one a “low-cost” to determine the localization of the bus. The aim of the topic is to discuss possible signal processing, standard or fractional-order based, techniques that would result in increased accuracy of determining the position of the bus even using the data obtained from “low-cost” sensor.
