Distributed simulation cloning technology is designed to perform “what-if” analysis of existing High Level Architecture (HLA) based distributed simulations. The technology aims to enable the examination of alternative scenarios concurrently within the same simulation execution session. State saving and recovery are necessary for cloning a federate at runtime. However it is very difficult to hav...

In this paper, the class of bilinear systems subjected to unknown inputs for which there exists a disturbance decoupled observer with linear error dynamics is characterised. It is shown that the design of this kind of observer is equivalent to the design of a disturbance decoupled observer for a linear system. This result simplifies considerably the observer design comparatively to those propos...

The in-house health monitoring sensors form a large network of Internet things (IoT) that continuously monitors and sends the data to nearby devices or server. However, connectivity these IoT-based with different entities leads security loopholes wherein adversary can exploit vulnerabilities due openness data. This is major concern especially in healthcare sector where change values from course...

Fork-decoupled search is a recent approach to classical planning that exploits fork structures, where a single center component provides preconditions for several leaf components. The decoupled states in this search consist of a center state, along with a price for every leaf state. Given this, when does one decoupled state dominate another? Such statedominance criteria can be used to prune dom...

In this paper, a self-tuning fuzzy sliding-mode controller design approach with decoupled method is proposed. The decoupled method provides a simple way to achieve asymptotic stability for a class of fourth-order nonlinear system. Moreover, heuristic sliding factors are implemented as fuzzy inference. Therefore, the proposed method eliminates the trial-and-error process for finding appropriate ...
