To achieve this capability, the SMC controller input design is divided into two parts: a sliding surface design (continuous control) and a switching function design (discontinuous control). A spacecraft's attitude model is a multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) system and thus control design is difficult for some methodologies, however, in this case a SMC, is straightforward to construct. In this paper, for the continuous part, a reduction of order method (ROOM) is used to construct the sliding surface. For the discontinuous control, three different switching functions are designed and evaluated such as relays with constant gains, relays with state dependent gains and linear feedback with switched gains. The main contribution of this paper is to both analyse and investigate the limitations of these three switching functions at two different points (critical gains and proper gains) on a spacecraft's attitude model. The gains are selected using trial and error techniques as long as these gains meet the sufficiency conditions for the existence of a sliding mode. The discontinuous control is a high-speed switching function that produces chattering in the control input; however, solutions for chattering drawbacks are not discussed here. The best switching function is chosen based on the spacecraft's attitude transient performance requirements.","PeriodicalId":128011,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131375131","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}

Each static node within the WSN has its data generation rate resulting in an imposed inter-visit duration due to its hardware limitations. The mobile element/robot approaches the nodes, collects their stored data, and transfers these to a depot station. In the adopted scenario, the mobile robot assumes prior knowledge of the nodes' locations and the corresponding trajectories are extracted by solving a combinatorial optimization problem that resembles that of Travelling Salesman Subset-tour Problem (TSSP). The resulting Mobile Element Scheduling (MES) scheme accounts for: the traveling distances between the static nodes, the maximum inter-visit duration for each node to avoid buffer overflow, the visiting/service time at each node and the energy consumption of the mobile robot. The presented simulation studies indicate the effectiveness of the overall optimization concept.","PeriodicalId":128011,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134376437","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}

Decentralized peer-to-peer energy exchange systems are believed to be a promising solution not only to solve the scalability and mobility problems in the existing system but also to create a competitive market that can benefit small scale prosumers and consumers. However, such systems need to be equipped with the necessary security, privacy and payment transaction mechanisms to be efficient and trusted. In this paper, we propose a decentralized energy exchange system based on Blockchains. Blockchains is a technology that supports secure transactions between participating entities in a decentralized peer-to-peer network. The proposed system allows for energy exchange between prosumers using a form of smart electronic contracts which are based on Blockchains.","PeriodicalId":128011,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115150918","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}

However, because the thermal dynamics of the server system has characteristics such as nonlinearity, significant inter-loop coupling, and continuously fast changing/unknown workload disturbances, this poses huge challenges to control engineers and data center architect engineers. To address the above concerns, this paper presents an active disturbance rejection control based decoupling control algorithm for flash storage systems and CPUs in a one-unit server to simultaneously improve fan power consumption efficiency and regulate the server components' temperature to avoid downgraded performance caused by overheating. In the study, a benchmark system is established based on the Samsung Mission Peak (MP) server where the thermal characteristics and existing solutions are both systematically evaluated. Performance of the design concept is proved in simulation. Experiment results show that, with the proposed control solution, temperature overshoot is greatly eliminated, temperatures are more tightly controlled and the drive throttling rate are greatly decreased. Furthermore, the proposed method is shown to be able to save up to 45% energy versus a PID controller, saves about 77% energy versus dynamic fan speed control method, and saves about 98% energy versus native fan speed control.","PeriodicalId":128011,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133300051","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}

In this paper, we consider systems modeled by a special class of synchronized Petri nets, called 1-place-unbounded, that contain a single unbounded place. The infinite reachability spaces of such nets can be characterized by two types of finite graphs, called improved modified coverability graph and weighted automata with safety conditions. In case these two finite graphs are deterministic, we develop novel computation algorithms for synchronizing sequences for this class of nets by decomposing the finite graphs into strongly connected components.","PeriodicalId":128011,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116177514","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}

Moreover, in order to transform the sparse classification problem into a general classification problem, the synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) algorithm is used to process the unbalanced training sample as a general training sample. Compared with the traditional classification approach, the robustness and effectiveness of the ensemble classifier model composed of the model-free classification (MFBC) algorithm, the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm and the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm were validated through the standard data source from the UCI (University of California at Irvine) repository. Finally, the proposed model is validated through an application in a complex oil and gas recognition system of China petroleum industry.
