Based on this model, an augmented system approach is developed to determine conditions for constructing perturbed simple paths of such a DES, given only a nominal sample path. A queueing system with real-time constraints is then considered, where jobs are accepted into a service facility with threshold-based access control and are lost if their waiting time exceeds a given deadline. An augmented system model is constructed to estimate performance sensitivities online with respect to the threshold parameter. It is shown that this approach provides consistent estimates of these sensitivities under certain conditions, and explicit procedures for obtaining these estimates are presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":113534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 27th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123194739","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}

This result extends the work of M. Fu and B.R. Barmish (1986) in which it is shown that there exists an adaptive controller which provides exponential Lyapunov stability if it is assumed that an upper bound on the plant order is known and that the plant lies in a known compact set; it is shown that adaptive stabilization is possible under very mild assumptions without 'large' state deviations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":113534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 27th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123683554","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}

Performance measures such as the average production rates, the average time to produce a part and the machine utilization are computed as a function of part-type mix. It is shown that for certain part-type mixes, these performance measures are highly sensitive to variations in the system's parameters, while for other part-type mixes they are more robust. The net result is an analysis tool for allocating resources when designing and implementing such workstations, and for evaluating potential performance improvements due to further automation in the workstation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":113534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 27th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116330177","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}

Initially, a combinatorial problem is solved to identify collision-free paths originally designed for a point object. Then the problem of moving the actual object through the safe paths for the point object is posed as an optimal control problem and is solved using a numerical technique involving finite-dimensional optimization. Some of the constraints to the optimization problem are in the form of inequalities, resulting in nondifferentiable expression when augmented with the performance index. Because of this, the R. Hooke and T.A. Jeeves method (1961), which is computationally quite prohibitive, has been adopted. To overcome this burden, at least partially, a method has been introduced whereby several variables appearing in the optimization are grouped into aggregate quantities, thus reducing the number of actual variables used in the iterations. 2-D and 3-D examples illustrate the applicability of the proposed hybrid design.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":113534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 27th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124343804","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}

A least-squares scheme using multiple models with different dead time and adjustable parameters can effectively determine the linearized first-order input-output model, including uncertain parameters and dead time. The proposed adaptive model-matching algorithm includes a supervisory controller and a robust controller with a Smith predictor to minimize the sensitivity to modeling errors, variations, and disturbances in the controlled subject. An animal experiment has shown that the proposed control algorithm can be easily implemented in an ordinary artificial ventilator.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":113534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 27th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124354222","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 damping and stiffness properties of some of the flexible elements are parameterized linearly in mu /sup -1/ and mu /sup -2/, respectively, where mu >0 and these components become more rigid as mu approaches zero. If a controller stabilizes a system model in which these components are assumed rigid, then it also stabilizes the model in which these components are flexible, provided mu is sufficiently small. The results are illustrated by an example.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":113534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 27th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126202719","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}
