However, due to limited bandwidth, the reliability of transmission is still a problem, which directly deteriorates control performance. In this paper, we consider a WirelessHART network consisting of multiple actuators and a scheduler. Inspired by practical experience, it is noticed that different actuators are of different priorities during control process, which implies demands for packet loss ratio are also different among actuators. As transmission and control are highly coupled, we propose On-demand Transmission and Control co-design (OTC) framework to determine transmission performances according to different demands of actuators. In our paper, joint transmission-control function is defined to build a unified mathematical model describing relationships between transmission and control. According to the joint function, tolerance region for transmission performances is derived at last and verified in the simulation.","PeriodicalId":379025,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th IEEE International Conference on Control & Automation (ICCA)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133644258","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}

It is proposed that the indoor environmental fields are statistically modeled by spatio-temporal non-parametric Gaussian processes. The proposed models are able to effectively predict and estimate the indoor climate parameters at any time and at any locations of interest, which can be utilized to create timely maps of indoor environments. More importantly, the monitoring results are practically crucial for building management systems to efficiently control energy consumption and maximally improve human comfort in the building. The proposed approach was implemented in a real tested space in a university building, where the obtained results are highly promising.","PeriodicalId":379025,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th IEEE International Conference on Control & Automation (ICCA)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132439844","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}

Firstly, we model the design issue as a minimum cost control configuration (MCCC) design problem of a bilinear system. Next, a necessary condition for the solvability of MCCC is derived. Then, an algorithm is given to provide the optimal solution to MCCC. This algorithm is based on the directed acyclic graph decomposition of the system graph, the Dulmage-Mendelson decomposition of the system bipartite graph, and verifying coprime paths. We use a new graph called dynamic graph to verify the coprime paths, which can avoid infinite verification loops when there are cycles in the system graph. We also prove that this algorithm has polynomial computational complexity. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the validity of the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":379025,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th IEEE International Conference on Control & Automation (ICCA)","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132521827","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 the presence of the disturbances, the Nash Equilibrium (NE) is revisited, and the scalar ε is proposed to describe the deviation of NE in such noise environment. A composite control strategy integrating the observer-based control and the feedback Nash strategies are developed such that NE can be achieved while compensating the matched disturbances. Sufficient conditions are given to ensure the existence of both the desired observer and the feedback Nash strategies in the delta-domain, and then the explicit expressions of such observer gain and Nash strategies are provided. An upper bound for the scalar ε is derived explicitly, and the corresponding convex optimization method is given to compute such epsilon level.","PeriodicalId":379025,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th IEEE International Conference on Control & Automation (ICCA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131728215","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}
