The paper provides a basic introduction to the scheduling and control of production systems using a hierarchical structure of a decision making (DM). A DM process created on the MAS basis may consider an intelligent and adaptive agent on the higher level and an autonomous agent in the lower level of the DM according to the system requirements. An example for the optimal or near optimal selectio...

This article presents a multiobjective genetic algorithm to tracking the optimal parameterization problem of the controller concerning the swinging-up and handstand-control of the general cart-doublependulum system (CDPS). The design based on the Human-Simulated Intelligent Control (HSIC) theory is required to meet various criteria according to the expected specifications. The proposed algorith...

Direct torque control (DTC) of Switched reluctance motor is known to have simple control structure with comparable performance. However, the role of optimal selection of the voltage space vector is one of the weakest points in a conventional DTC drive. In this paper optimal selection of voltage space vectors is achieved using GA based neural network. Simulations results validate the proposed in...

background and aims: the world is threatened by disease outbreak that reaches a public health emergency of international concern, studies to inform public and agencies for effective containment strategy are necessary. several studies provided vital information of the dynamics and control of ebola epidemic outbreak in west africa. methodologies and techniques in those researches have to be revie...

‎in this paper we introduce a numerical approach that solves optimal control problems (ocps)‎‎using collocation methods‎. ‎this approach is based upon b-spline functions‎.‎the derivative matrices between any two families of b-spline functions are utilized to‎‎reduce the solution of ocps to the solution of nonlinear optimization problems‎.‎numerical experiments confirm our theoretical findings‎.

in this article, vehicle cornering stability and brake stabilization via bifurcation analysis has been investigated. in order to extract the governing equations of motion, a nonlinear four-wheeled vehicle model with two degrees of freedom has been developed. using the continuation software package matcont a stability analysis based on phase plane analysis and bifurcation of equilibrium is perfo...
