In this paper we investigate computational issues associated with the supervision of concurrent processes modeled as modular discrete-event systems. Here, modular discrete-event systems are sets of deterministic finite-state ...

A hybrid feedback control law is proposed for the RTAC system. This hybrid feedback control law is expressed in terms of a continuous feedback part and a part that includes switched parameters determined according to a ...

Control of aftertreatment systems for lean burn technology engines represents a big challenge, due to the lack of on-board emission measurements and the sensitivity of the hardware components to ageing and sulphur poisoning. ...

Strained heterostructures are now widely used to realize high-performance lasers. Highly mismatched epitaxy also produces defect-free quantum dots via an island growth mode. The characteristics of high-speed strained quantum ...

The problem of residence-time control by the observer-based output feedback is formulated and solved for the case of linear systems with small additive input noise. Both noiseless and noisy measurements are considered. In ...

This paper reviews the application and operation of integrated sensors and actuators in biological and physiological environments. Integrated transducers are widely employed for invasive and non-invasive patient monitoring, ...

We address the following sensor selection problem. We assume that a dynamic system possesses a certain property, call it Property D, when a set Γ of sensors is used. There is a cost c A associated with each set A of sensors ...

We study the effect of communication delays on the performance of a coordinated decentralized architecture for failure diagnosis of untimed discrete event systems. The architecture consists of local sites communicating ...

In this paper, the problem of aiming control is formulated and analyzed in terms of the residence probability measure. Specifically, the notion of residence probability in a domain is introduced and its asymptotic expression ...

We continue the study of limited lookahead policies in supervisory control of discrete event systems undertaken in a previous paper. On-line control of discrete event systems using limited lookahead policies requires, after ...
