The workload process represents the amount of work in the system at any given instant and is the basis for many important systemwide performance measures. It is shown that when there are positive walk times, the workload process is minimized by choosing the maximum allowable number of customers to be served per visit to be as large as possible. The result is proved using sample path comparison arguments and holds under general assumptions about the interval, service, and walk-time distributions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":156565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 28th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control,","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128704381","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 dynamics of the different linear models are determined from the data, as well as the boundaries in the operating-point space which determine the dependence of the dynamics on the operating point. The basic idea is to utilize a method for recursive identification that is able to track slow as well as rapid dynamic changes. A classification procedure is applied to the models produced by this identification procedure, and borders are created between the different classified models. Techniques for supervised pattern recognition are used for the latter step. The whole construction procedure is illustrated by an example.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":156565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 28th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control,","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129812926","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}

Suppose that B has a total of k degrees of freedom. Suppose further that B is free to move in a 2D or 3D space amid a collection of obstacles whose geometry is known. Typical values of k range from 2 (for a rigid object translating on a planar floor without rotating, for example) to 6 (the typical number of joints for a manipulator arm). The values can also be much larger, for example, when it is necessary to coordinate the motion of several independent systems in same workspace. The motion-planning problem for B is: given an initial placement Z1 and a desired target placement Z2 of B, determine whether there exists a continuous obstacle-avoiding motion of B from Z1 to Z2, and, if so, plan such a motion. An algorithm is presented for a fast solution to this problem. This algorithm is deterministic, involves approximations, and hence solves the motion planning problem up to a certain (prescribed) degree of accuracy.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":156565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 28th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control,","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130006843","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}
