In this paper, we proposed a new PID controller tuning method for integrating processes with time delay to meet a new robust specification. With the proposed PID tuning method, we can obtain a loop transfer function with the real part close to -0.5. This guarantees both robustness and performance. Simulation examples are given to show the performance of the method.","PeriodicalId":371853,"journal":{"name":"42nd IEEE International Conference on Decision and Control (IEEE Cat.

Some of these applications, such as Synthetic Aperture Radar and video surveillance, can generate large quantities of data which must be transmitted to a base station quickly. UAV size limitations often prevent the use of large, highly directive antennas in this link with the base station. This paper proposes the solution of forming an antenna array from several UAVs and applies antenna array theory to analyze its performance. An example is given where phase compensation is used to achieve high directivity even in the presence of element position errors.","PeriodicalId":371853,"journal":{"name":"42nd IEEE International Conference on Decision and Control (IEEE Cat.

A stochastic optimal control problem is stated, for which dynamic programming can be used.

By introducing the concept of \"frontier\", an alternative technique is given, for which any feasible policy leads to the destination node. Moreover by using a suitable algorithm, any approximation of the can be used to obtain a proper policy.

Our objective is to find conditions concerning controller failure time, under which the system's stability and H/sub /spl infin// disturbance attenuation properties are preserved to a desired level. For both stability and H/sub /spl infin// disturbance attenuation analysis, we show that if the unavailability rate of the controller is smaller than a specified constant, then global exponential stability of the entire system and a reasonable H/sub /spl infin// disturbance attenuation level is achieved. The key point is to establish a common quadratic Lyapunov-like function for the case where the controller works and the case where the controller fails.","PeriodicalId":371853,"journal":{"name":"42nd IEEE International Conference on Decision and Control (IEEE Cat.

The closed-loop performance of these systems can then be analyzed in terms of a family of SISO systems by diagonalizing the large-scale transfer matrices across spatial frequencies. Familiar concepts from control engineering such as bandwidth and stability margin are extended into the two-dimensional frequency domain.","PeriodicalId":371853,"journal":{"name":"42nd IEEE International Conference on Decision and Control (IEEE Cat.

Piecewise linear models are attractive when modelling a wide range of nonlinear system and determining simultaneously i) the data partition ii) the time instant of change iii) the parameter values of the different local models. This is a difficult problem for which no solution exists in the general case and we show here some aspects and particular results concerning the problem of off line learning of switching time series. We propose a method for identifying the parameters of the local models when choosing an adapted weighting function, this function allowing to select the data for which each local model is active. Indeed the proposed method is able to solve simultaneously the data allocation and the parameter estimation. The feasibility and the performance of the procedure is demonstrated using several academic examples.","PeriodicalId":371853,"journal":{"name":"42nd IEEE International Conference on Decision and Control (IEEE Cat.
