A barrier function-based adaptive sliding-mode control (SMC) approach is proposed such that the bipartite steady-state error is converged to a predefined region of zero in finite time. Specifically, based on an error auxiliary taking neighboring antagonistic interactions into account, an SMC law is designed with an adaptive gain. The gain can switch to a positive semi-definite barrier function to ensure that the error auxiliary is constrained to a predefined neighborhood of zero, which in turn guarantees practical bipartite consensus tracking. A distinguished feature of the proposed controller is its independence on the bound of disturbances, while the input chattering phenomenon is alleviated. Finally, a numerical example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100755,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Automation and Intelligence","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 14-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49743916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The developed model considers the dynamic variation of water demand, rainfall, weather, and seasonal change in electricity price. It is mathematically developed as a multi-constraint non-linear programming model based on model predictive control principles. The model optimises the quantities of water supplied by each source every month and improves the energy efficiency in a water supply system with multiple types of sources. The effectiveness of the developed MPC model is verified by applying it to a case study and comparing the results with those obtained with an open loop model. Results showed that using the MPC model leads to a 4.16% increase in the water supply cost compared to the open loop model. However, when considering uncertainties in predicting water demands, aquifer recharges, rainfall, and evaporation rate, the MPC model was better than the open loop model. Indeed, the MPC model could meet the water demand at any period due to its predictability of variations, which was not the case with the open loop model. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to verify the capacity of the developed model to deal with some phenomena due to climatic changes, such as in rainfall.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100755,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Automation and Intelligence","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100001"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949855422000016/pdfft?md5=a33cb644d0b9ca4435716f0923204f10&pid=1-s2.0-S2949855422000016-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77150910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional machine learning has made significant progress by heuristic hand-crafted features and statistical models, but it suffers from the limitation of manual feature design. Deep learning overcomes such issues by automatic high-level feature extraction, but its performance degrades due to the requirement of massive annotated data and cross-site issues. To deal with these problems, transfer learning helps to transfer knowledge from existing datasets while dealing with the negative effect of background dynamics. This paper surveys the recent progress of deep learning and transfer learning for device-free activity recognition. We begin with the motivation of deep learning and transfer learning, and then introduce the major sensor modalities. Then the deep and transfer learning techniques for device-free human activity recognition are introduced. Eventually, insights on existing works and grand challenges are summarized and presented to promote future research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100755,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Automation and Intelligence","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100007"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949855422000077/pdfft?md5=9763a994531a1204c951d25f4a816f37&pid=1-s2.0-S2949855422000077-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83128614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
