In this paper, we investigate competition avoidance methods for management of a shared object in a networked real-time game with haptic media. For competition avoidance, we deal with a priority method and a combined method of AtoZ (Allocated Topographical Zone) and CDP (Count Down Protocol). We also clarify the influence of network delay on QoE (Quality of Experience) for the two methods.

Networked systems are useful for a wide range of applications, many which require distributed and collaborative data processing to satisfy real-time requirements. On one hand, networked usually resource constrained, mainly regarding the energy supply nodes their computation communication abilities. other applications can be executed in an imprecise way, where approximate result is acceptable as...

Abstract This study investigates the chaos control in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) using a Lyapunov‐based model predictive approach subject to data loss. PMSM, as rich nonlinear dynamic, can demonstrate chaotic behavior when its parameters are certain area. Thus, performance of system will degrade this condition. Moreover, some networked applications, especially modern automation i...

MedCERTAIN (MedPICS Certification and Rating of Trustworthy Health Information on the Net, http://www.medcertain.org/) is a recently launched international project funded under the European Union's (EU) "Action Plan for safer use of the Internet. It provides a technical infrastructure and a conceptual basis for an international system of "quality seals", ratings and self-labelling of Internet h...

Accuracy in determining congestion level is a big factor in designing efficient rate adaptive networked multimedia. This paper proposes measuring one-way delay of video packets to serve as incipient network congestion indicators. The delay is potentially used in conjunction with packet loss rate as input to a fuzzy logic controller. The controller efficiently adapts the sending rate of the appl...

Two applications from different projects in which video content is distributed over in-home networked devices are presented. Multiple displays and ambience objects are used to display interactive content. Major issues concern the design of appropriate evaluation methodologies, the use of perceived video quality to achieve efficient resource allocation and the subjective role of content consumpt...

Original scientific paper This paper proposes an approach for achieving fault tolerant control algorithm for a kind of networked control system which is fixed set-point control and with nonlinear plant. We firstly describe the nonlinear networked control system and linearize the model of the plant at the operating point, then construct a synthesis model of the whole system, which includes all r...

Real-life cyber-physical systems, such as automotive vehicles, building automation systems, and groups of unmanned vehicles are monitored and controlled by networked control systems. The overall system dynamics emerges from the interaction among physical dynamics, computational dynamics, and communication networks. Network uncertainties such as time-varying delay and packet loss cause significa...
