A Robust State Estimator for Integrated Electrical and Heating Networks

Integrated planning for blood platelet production: a robust optimization approach

Perishability of blood products as well as uncertainty in demand amounts complicate the management of blood supply for blood centers. This paper addresses a mixed-integer linear programming model for blood platelets production planning while integrating the processes of blood collection as well as production/testing, inventory control and distribution. Whole blood-derived production methods for...

F-ETX: a predictive link state estimator for mobile networks

Due to their inherent features, Mobile AdHoc Networks have proven their efficiency to exchange data between mobile nodes. The main issue in this type of a network is the delivery of data to a destination. Unfortunately, the mobility of nodes and the disturbances of the propagation channel lead to the increase of the loss rate, which undermines routing performances. To address this issue, routin...

Towards Integrated Design of a Robust Feedback Controller and Topography Estimator for Atomic Force Microscopy

In Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), the force between the measurement tip and the sample is controlled in a feedback loop to prevent damage to the tip and sample during imaging, and to convert the measurement of the tip-sample force into an estimation of the sample topography. Dynamical uncertainties of the system pose a strong limitation on the achievable control bandwidth, and on the accuracy o...

A robust wavelet based profile monitoring and change point detection using S-estimator and clustering

Some quality characteristics are well defined when treated as response variables and are related to some independent variables. This relationship is called a profile. Parametric models, such as linear models, may be used to model profiles. However, in practical applications due to the complexity of many processes it is not usually possible to model a process using parametric models.In these cas...
