This paper deals with the decentralized control of an interconnected system, where each subsystem has models of all other subsystems (subject to uncertainty). A decentralized controller is constructed based on a reference centralized controller. It is shown that when a priori knowledge of each subsystem about the other subsystems’ models is exact, then the decentralized closed-loop system can p...

Classic centralized Version Control Systems have proven that they can accelerate and simplify the software development process, but one must also consider distributed systems in this analysis. What features can distributed Version Control Systems offer and why are they interesting? This paper describes the general concepts of the centralized and the distributed approaches, how Concurrent Versio...

This paper investigates the centralized resource allocation with centralized structures by using the data envelopment analysis-ratio (DEA-R) models. To this end, it proposes a method to determine the resource allocation of centralized structures such that the ratio of inputs to outputs are minimized.

Sudden or gradual faults in sensors, actuators, and processors can have catastrophic consequences for plants that depend on control technology. This paper applies adaptive control to an aircraft with unknown control-surface faults and investigates the robustness of the controller to uncertainties in the aircraft dynamics. Control-surface faults include magnitude and rate saturation, deadzone, a...
