2008 MSC Paper Abstract

This paper presents the experimental results of the application of a robust tube-based MPC for tracking of piece-wise constant references to a plant based on the quadruple-tank process. This controller, defined for LTI system subject to additive and bounded disturbances, ensures: (i) the feasibility for any admissible setpoint, (ii) the robust constraint satisfaction, (iii) robust stability and...

Simulators for Npp Engineering

Nuclear power plant simulation has traditionally focused on plantspecific Full Scope Simulators (FSS) with the primary objective being licensed operator training. The initial development and delivery of the vast majority of the FSSs have taken place either late in the plant construction cycle or following commercial operation. The development of an FSS has typically taken two to three years wit...

Abstract Classes and Pure Virtual Functions

Classes and Pure Virtual Functions In this article we will be discussing abstract classes, and how they are implemented in C++. The first part of the article will define abstract classes and describe how to use them as tools for Object Oriented Design. The second half of the article will concern itself with their implementation in C++, and some of the quirks and pitfalls that surround their use...

Generation of Efficient Virtual Machine ( Extended Abstract )

TokyoTech Virtual Machine Builder (VMB) is a generator of virtual machines. VMB takes a formal specification of a virtual machine and generates implementation of the virtual machine. A specification of a virtual machine comprises configuration of virtual hardware (a set of virtual registers, virtual stacks, and heap organization) and definition of virtual machine instruction set. Behavior of ea...
