State-partition-based supervisors are completely characterized by a partition of the original system state space into legal and illegal states: transitions between legal states are always enabled while transitions from legal to illegal states are always disabled. We present a general algorithm that calculates all state-partition-based supervisors that result in safe and non-blocking controlled languages. The algorithm uses a vertex-cover-type algorithm on the representation of the supremal controllable sublanguage in order to obtain the desired partitions. This work is motivated by the application of discrete event control techniques to the avoidance of classes of concurrency bugs in multithreaded programs. State-partition-based supervisors are especially advantageous in that application as they allow more concurrency at run-time. More generally, this class of supervisors is required when the representation of the supervisor must be based on the system's original state space; this occurs for memoryless supervisors in automaton-based control or in supervision based on place invariants in Petri-net-based control, for instance.","PeriodicalId":13260,"journal":{"name":"IFAC Proceedings Volumes","volume":"49 1","pages":"2414-2421"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74986300","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}

These devices, called sensing antennae, perform an active sensing strategy in which a servomotor system moves the link back and forth until it hits and object. At this instant, information of the motor angles combined with force and torque measurements allow calculating the positions of the hitting points, which are valuable information about the object surface. In order to move the antenna fast and accurately, this article proposes a new open loop control for driving this flexible link based sensor. The control strategy is based on an ( IS ) Input Shaping technique, in order to reduce link vibrations. The antenna performs free azimuthal and vertical movements. However, the vertical movement is clearly non-linear due to the gravity effect, which prevents the use of standard linear IS techniques. Then a new nonlinear IS has been developed in this article which includes a linearization term of the gravity. Experiments have shown the improvements attained with this technique in the accurate and vibration free motion of our antenna.","PeriodicalId":13260,"journal":{"name":"IFAC Proceedings Volumes","volume":"23 1","pages":"4733-4738"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76482390","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}

An approach for the creation is bottom-up construction, that is, well-characterized small-scale circuits are coupled into large-scale system-level circuits involving desired programmable functions that can be predicted from the modules. However, in general, an intrinsic property in a circuit may be broken by internally connecting external circuits. We analyze a successful circuit created by a bottom-up construction strategy to identify the reason behind a successful synthesis.
