the main task of this work is related with the design of a class of siso robust control law for theregulation of substrate concentration (cdo) of an industrial activated sludge wastewater plant. the controldesign is related with an uncertainty estimator (reduced order observer) based active control. departing from the tracking error between the desired and the current substrate concentrations t...

when a change occurs in a process, one expects to receive a signal from a control chart as quickly as possible. upon the receipt of signal from the control chart a search for identifying the source of disturbance begins. however, searching for assignable cause around the signal time, due to the fact that the disturbance may have manifested itself into the rocess sometimes back, may not always l...

This paper introduces the possibilities of multi-agent system application for the modeling and intelligent control in the case of coarse ceramics burning process. It consists of technological description of this process, its decomposition into agents and macro-model of the decision system. Then multi-agent system modeling tools, such as alternating-time temporal logic and alternating transition...

In China, the bee farms are only organized loosely, so human factor has a great impact on bee product quality (BPQ). At the same time, the quality control methods related to information and intelligence technology did not give a useful support on BPQ. As a result, it is not easy control BPQ during production process of bee products. Therefore, how to control BPQ safety effectively always is a h...

Agent control involves reasoning about local problem solving ac tivities interacting with other agents planning for a course of action and contingencies in the event of failure of the action and nally carry ing out the actions with limited resources and uncertainty about agent outcomes and the actions of other agents The growing complexity and dynamics of agents and the environments in which th...

The paper presents a novel architecture of agent-based simulation of teaching and learning process. We propose a conceptual architecture of such system. There are presented several aspects, how the usage of ontologies for the control of students progress can improve the efficiency of intelligent tutoring systems. Main attention is paid to the usage of ontologies for agent communication and form...

In this work, we extend the architecture of agents (and robots) based upon fixed, one-size-fits-all cycles of operation, by providing a framework of declarative specification of agent control. Control is given in terms of cycle theories, which define in a declarative way the possible alternative behaviours of agents, depending on the particular circumstances of the (perceived) external environm...

Future manufacturing systems will be integrated into the networks of distributed resources, and at the same time, such systems will be capable of processing both knowledge and material. It will probably be required that manufacturing systems be agile, flexible, and fault-tolerant. Petri nets (PN) and objectoriented design (OOD) are used together in order to develop the integrated agent-based FM...

laguerre function has many advantages such as good approximation capability for different systems, low computational complexity and the facility of on-line parameter identification. therefore, it is widely adopted for complex industrial process control. in this work, laguerre function based adaptive model predictive control algorithm (ampc) was implemented to control continuous stirred tank rea...
