Decentralized controller design problem for linear time-invariant retarded commensurate-time-delay systems is considered. The continuous pole placement algorithm, which has recently been introduced for static state vector feedback controller design for retarded time-delay systems, is first extended to design dynamic output feedback controllers. This algorithm is then used in the proposed decent...

An inherent problem in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is the Controller Placement Problem, which addresses how many controllers to deploy network, and where place them. Several variants of this have been addressed researched find placements that adapt best different contexts. In article, we address a more complex variant problem, satisfy QoS requirements offer robustness against disaster-bas...

This paper studies the design of a static output feedback controller for nonlinear systems described by continuous-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) models. Motivated by stability results developed for parallel distributed compensation (PDC) controller, an Output PDC (OPDC) controller that corresponds to a nonlinear static output feedback control law is proposed. Both stabilisation and poles placement a...

In this study, we present a new controller design method that not only effectively suppresses vibration in fexible systems, but also has the ability to save control energy. The proposed method allows integrated determination of sensor/actuator locations and feedback gain by minimizing the sum of the integral flexible system energy and the integral control energy. Also, the cost function is char...

An automatic steering controller was installed on a Case-IH Model 7220 tractor. The primary posture sensor was a kinematic differential GPS. Open loop and closed loop frequency response tests were conducted to evaluate the steering controller dynamics. A double integrator transfer function adequately related vehicle lateral deviation to steering angle within the frequency range of 0.04 Hz to 0....

The consolidation of multiple workloads and servers enables the efficient use of server and power resources in shared resource pools. We employ a trace-based workload placement controller that uses historical information to periodically and proactively reassign workloads to servers subject to their quality of service objectives. A reactive migration controller is introduced that detects server ...

We present a technique that enables existing middleware to fairly manage mixed workloads: batch jobs and transactional applications. The technique leverages a generic application placement controller, which dynamically allocates compute resources to application instances. The controller works towards a fairness goal while also trying to maximize individual workload performance. We use relative ...
