Anecdotal evidence from industry and research studies acknowledges the shortcomings of current frameworks tools, such as COBie add-ins made available by major BIM tool vendors. A primary challenge is that tools heavily rely on manual data entry. Manual input time-consuming prone to human errors or omissions. Very few open IFC web-based exist support information exchange for facilities managemen...

This paper proposes a design of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm based Proportional plus Integral controller using Area Requirement (AR) Criterion for the Load Frequency Control of a two area multi unit interconnected thermal reheat power system without and with Gas Turbine unit. The system was simulated and the output responses of the frequency deviations, tie-line power deviation and con...

This paper deals with the decentralized overlapping control of interconnected systems. The notion of a quotient overlapping fixed mode (QOFM) is first introduced and it is shown that a mode of an interconnected linear time-invariant system can be shifted by means of a general decentralized overlapping controller if and only if it is not a QOFM. It is then asserted that any interconnected system...

Many real-world systems can be modeled as interconnected multilayer networks, namely a set of networks interacting with each other. Here we present a perturbative approach to study the properties of a general class of interconnected networks as inter-network interactions are established. We reveal multiple structural transitions for the algebraic connectivity of such systems, between regimes in...

This paper works on the decentralized robust H∞ control of interconnected impulsive stochastic systems with uncertainties. The uncertainties are assumed to be time-varying and norm-bounded. For the uncertain interconnected impulsive stochastic system a robust decentralized state feedback controller is designed under which the resulting closed-loop interconnected impulsive stochastic system is i...
