Certainty equivalence control with forcing: revisited
(Elsevier, 1989-12)
Certainty equivalence control with forcing has been shown to be optimal for several stochastic adaptive control problems with the average cost per unit time criterion. Recently researchers have started looking at stochastic ...
Design for a technology : Assessment of coal
(Elsevier, 1979-08)
The objective of the coal technology assessment is to compare the environmental, social, economic, and institutional consequences that may arise from development of various mixes of coal-based energy technologies to the ...
Time-average and asymptotically optimal flow control policies in networks with multiple transmitters
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Scientific Publishing Company ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1992-10)
We consider M transmitting stations sending packets to a single receiver over a slotted time-multiplexed link. For each phase consisting of T consecutive slots, the receiver dynamically allocates these slots among the M ...
Random Demand Satisfaction in Unreliable Production–Inventory–Customer Systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-02)
A method for calculating the probability of customer demand satisfaction in production–inventory–customer systems with Markovian machines, finite finished goods buffers, and random demand is developed. Using this method, ...
Robust Adaptive Metrics for Deadline Assignment in Distributed Hard Real-Time Systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-11)
Distributed real-time applications usually consist of several component tasks and must be completed by its end-to-end (E-T-E) deadline. As long as the E-T-E deadline of an application is met, the strategy used for dividing ...
Using Control Theory to Achieve Service Level Objectives In Performance Management
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-07)
A widely used approach to achieving service level objectives for a software system (e.g., an email server) is to add a controller that manipulates the target system's tuning parameters. We describe a methodology for designing ...
A contracting model for flexible distributed scheduling
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-08)
We are interested in building systems of autonomous agents that can automate routine information processing activities in human organizations. Computational infrastructures for cooperative work should contain embedded ...
Methods of measuring the size and complexity of PLC programs in different logic control design methodologies
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-09)
Currently there is a wide variety of logic control design methodologies used in industrial logic design. These methodologies include ladder diagrams, function block diagrams, sequential function charts, and flow charts, ...
Trade-Off Analysis of Real-Time Control Performance and Schedulability*
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-11)
Most real-time computer-controlled systems are developed in two separate stages: controller design followed by its digital implementation. Computational tasks that implement the control algorithms are usually scheduled by ...
A Formal Study of Distributed Meeting Scheduling
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-05)
Automating routine organizational tasks, such as meeting scheduling, requires a careful balance between the individual (respecting his or her privacy and personal preferences) and the organization (making efficient use of ...
