Some criteria for asymptotic stability of linear and time-invariant systems with constant point delays are derived. Such criteria are concerned with the properties of robust stability related to two relevant auxiliary delay-free systems which are built by deleting the delayed dynamics or considering that the delay is zero. Explicit asymptotic stability results, easy to test, are given for both ...

One of the main obstacles to the implementation of adaptive controllers for safety critical applications is the absence of analytically justified Verification and Validation (V&V) techniques for such systems. This paper seeks to provide the beginnings of a theoretically motivated V&V technique for adaptive controllers in the context of controlling uncertain flight vehicle dynamics. A set of too...

This paper aims to propose a significant way of remote access and real time monitoring of a particular geographic area by integrating wireless sensor clouds with existing Telecom infrastructure and applications built around them through a gateway. This utility is very potent for environment monitoring in harsh and inaccessible places like mines, nuclear reactors, etc. We demonstrate a scaled do...

Timing is often seen as the most important property of systems after function, and safety-critical systems are no exception. In this paper, we consider how timing is typically treated in safety assurance and, in particular, the safety arguments being proposed by industry and academia. A critique of these arguments is performed based on how systems are generally developed and how evidence is gat...

a chaos control method suggested by erjaee has been reviewed. it has been shown that thistechnique can be applied in various evolutionary systems of 2-dimensional types. the method has beenapplied for cases of the henon map, as well as burger’s map. the limitations of the control techniquehave also been discussed by considering the standard map and the gumowski-mira map. the resultsobtained thr...
