This paper discusses the impact of network architecture on control performance in a class of distributed control systems called networked control systems (NCSs) and provides design considerations related to control quality of performance as well as network quality of service. The integrated network-control system changes the characteristics of time delays between application devices. This study...

When writing can change your life, when writing can enrich you by offering much money, why don't you try it? Are you still very confused of where getting the ideas? Do you still have no idea with what you are going to write? Now, you will need reading. A good writer is a good reader at once. You can define how you write depending on what books to read. This communications and networking in educ...

Energy conservation is an important global issue. The home is the third largest energy consumer, and 10% of the home energy use is standby power of home appliances. The proliferation of home networks increases the standby power. The conventional technologies for low networked standby power such as WoL require continuous AC power, as much as 0.5 watts, to monitor wake-up signals. A large portion...

The goal of this paper is to consider a co-design approach between the controller of a process control application and the frame scheduling for CAN-Based Networked Control Systems in order to simultaneously improve the Quality of Control (QoC) of the process control and the Quality of Service (QoS) of the CAN-based network. First, we present a way to calculate the closed-loop communication time...

achieving optimal production cycle time for improving manufacturing processes is one of the common problems in production planning. during recent years, different approaches have been developed for solving this problem, but most of them assume that mean quality characteristic is constant over production run length and sets it on customer’s target value. however, the process mean may drift from ...

In networked control systems, time delay and data dropout can degrade the performance of the control system and even destabilize the system. In the present paper, the Extended Kalman filter is employed to compensate the effects of time delay and data dropout in feedforward and feedback paths of networked control systems. In the proposed method, the extended Kalman filter is used as an observer ...

objectives: quality of life, when referring to an individual’s health, is called health-related quality of life. the purpose of this study is to assess self-perceived hearing loss related quality of life of adolescents with hearing loss and its relationship with sex, age sub-groups or school settings with domains of quality of life. methods: a school based survey was conducted in tehran city. u...

This article revisited past digital cities, and discussed smart cities and the future. If we understand digital cities as exploration of cyber space and smart cities as exploitation of physical space, the next stage is to evolve networked society based on cyber physical systems. The current movements suggest two different directions, socialization of commerce and commercialization of society. W...

A digital telco approach can provide operators with the agility required to thrive in the Networked Society. This approach requires a transformation of both the front end and back end of an operator’s business. Applying Enterprise Architecture principles results in six key steps operators should take to bridge the gap between business, IT and networks and thereby secure an effective transformat...
