A multi-threaded communication architecture for networked control systems

Neural-Smith Predictor Method for Improvement of Networked Control Systems

Networked control systems (NCSs) are distributed control systems in which the nodes, including controllers, sensors, actuators, and plants are connected by a digital communication network such as the Internet. One of the most critical challenges in networked control systems is the stochastic time delay of arriving data packets in the communication network among the nodes. Using the Smith predic...

An Architecture for a Multi-threaded

Coordinated Control for Networked Multi-Agent Systems

Coordination in networked multi-agent systems attracts significant interest in the realm of engineering. Typical examples include formations of unmanned aerial vehicles, automated highway systems, and sensor networks. One common feature for these systems is that coordinated behaviors are exhibited by interactions among agents where information exchange and manipulation are necessary. In this wo...

Control in Multi-Threaded Information Systems

Information systems design has traditionally dealt with both data modeling and process modeling. Regarding process modeling, most design techniques based on struc-tured design or object oriented design specify possible data ows and interactions among components, but are not very precise in specifying system control ow. On the other hand, the introduction of computer networks has enabled technol...

Quantized Feedback Control for Networked Control Systems Under Communication Constraints

This paper investigates the feedback stabilization problem for networked control systems (NCSs) with unbound process noise, where sensors and controllers are connected via noiseless digital channels carrying a finite number of bits per unit time. A sufficient condition for stabilization of NCSs, which relies on a variable-rate digital link used to transmit state measurements, is derived. A lowe...
