The design of embedded controllers is about developing control algorithms and their implementation satisfying tight constraints on performance and cost. To reduce design time and implementation cost, we propose a methodology based on the principles of platform-based design. The design process is decomposed into a sequence of steps that involve different levels of abstraction (platforms) related...

The report gives a state-of-the-art survey of the field of integrated control and scheduling. Subtopics discussed are implementation and scheduling of periodic control loops, scheduling under overload, control and scheduling co-design, dynamic task adaptation, feedback scheduling, and scheduling of imprecise calculations. The report also presents the background, motivation, and research topics ...

Abstract: Stability, maneuverability, and safe landing in the presence of adverse conditions need an integrated approach for addressing various flight control aspects of resilient aircraft control. Adverse events include loss of control caused by environmental factors, actuator and sensor faults or failures, and expand toward more complicated damage conditions. In this article, the application ...

A new dynamic subdivision surface model is pro posed for shape recovery from D data sets The model inherits the attractive properties of the Catmull Clark subdivision scheme and is set in a physics based mod eling paradigm Unlike other existing methods our model does not require a parameterized input mesh to recover shapes of arbitrary topology allows direct ma nipulation of the limit surface v...

The usage of multi-agent systems for manufacturing control seems to be sharply contrasted by classical mathematical control theory. This work emphasizes how views from both scientific fields can be combined to create the flexible and optimal manufacturing control systems of tomorrow.

In this thesis a modular code skeleton for combining Variable Message Signs (VMS) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) as a combined system are being presented. Basic control theory for the two control types are given with corresponding pseudo code. Also simulation with the different controllers are compared and discussed. Finally some tips and tricks regarding the simulation software VISSIM are g...

This paper demonstrates an enhancement of power quality in grid integrated systems with the help of the proposed control strategy for voltage source converter based active power filters. The Shunt Active Power filters (SAPF) are extensively utilized in modern grid integrated systems to diminish the power quality concerns associated with it. The SAPF is one of the various power filters, which ha...
