Fuzzy Real-Time Optimization of the Tennessee Eastman Challenge Process

A Real-Time Optimization (RTO) strategy incorporating the fuzzy sets theory is developed, where the problem constraints obtained from process considerations are treated in fuzzy environment. Furthermore, the objective function is penalized by a fuzzified form of the key process constraints. To enable using conventional optimization techniques, the resulting fuzzy optimization problem is the...

Over the past few years, there has been an immense thrust in the field of geolocation, surveillance, tracking and location-aware systems and services. The advent of compact, low power, high-processing power DSPs have made possible several tasks which were infeasible just a few years ago. TDOA estimates on such energy and resource constrained platforms suffers from the lack of a coherent samplin...

Nashville Tennessee 37235 TECHNICAL REPORT

A fundamental requirement for achieving rapid turn-round and short timeto-market in embedded software and system development is to achieve high level of reuse. Platform-based design offers a systematic way to make tradeoff between the conflicting requirements of flexibility and reuse. This paper describes a modelintegrated approach in controlling and exploiting flexibility via the disciplined c...
