In fact its universal infrastructure of communications allows an easy and economic way of interaction between different sites despite the distance separating them. However, the traditional client-server architecture is becoming a drawback for those applications which require the processing of large amounts of data coming from one server but which, comparatively, produce a small amount of data as a result of their work. In this paper the mobile agents philosophy, as a mean to reduce the communication load in such applications, is discussed and several important factors related to this approach are considered. Another advantage of the mobile agents philosophy is related to the ability to simplify the evolution of the applications without the need to change the servers. For remote operation, a way for the agents to self adapt to the local environments they encounter in each remote site is mandatory. These issues are discussed here within the context of an application intended to help elderly staying alone at home. We also emphasize the advantage the platform independent languages have in the context of the applications discussed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":161975,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122331740","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 main purpose of control design, therefore is to achieve robustness against parameter changes and at the same time to reject track disturbances. Generally such big parameter variations can not be handled properly by a fixed gain controller, therefore the applicability of gain-scheduling control technics are examined. To handle the problem a brand new method, the multi-model based gain-scheduling sliding mode control approach is proposed.","PeriodicalId":161975,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121384820","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 experimental system consists of a conventional DC servo gear motor with encoder feedback and variable inertia load coupled by a relatively rigid shaft.","PeriodicalId":161975,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125531127","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}
