One particular RNN called the Self-Organizing Recurrent Network (SORN) avoids the mathematical normalization required after each initialization. Instead, three types of cortical plasticity mechanisms optimize the weights within the network during the initial part of the training. The success of this unsupervised training method was demonstrated on temporal sequences that use input symbols with a binary encoding and that activate only one input pool in each time step. This work extends the analysis towards different types of symbol encoding ranging from encoding methods that activate multiple input pools and that use encoding levels that are not strictly binary but analog in nature. Preliminary results show that the SORN model is able to classify well temporal sequences with symbols using these encoding methods and the advantages of this network over a static network in a classification task is still retained.","PeriodicalId":411767,"journal":{"name":"2016 Second International Conference on Event-based Control, Communication, and Signal Processing (EBCCSP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115912699","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}

Each piece of data arriving from the Smart Grids is treated as a discrete event. The data is then analyzed by a process-based discrete-event simulation framework to infer information that is directly unobservable, and in turn yield results that effectively solve the crosstalk problem.

Each agent is equipped with a distributed SFDCC unit that uses the information from the relative measurement sensors and data transmission facilities. It is assumed that the data is transmitted from an agent to its neighbours whenever a specific event condition is satisfied. With the proposed methodology each agent can detect not only its own fault but also the faults occurred in its neighbors and at the same time, all the agents can track the output of a reference model. The parameters of the SFDCC module are designed such that a mixed H∞/H- performance index is satisfied based on sufficient conditions in terms of extended linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). It is shown that by using event-triggered data transmission, the amount of data transmitted from an agent to its neighbors and the actuator updates are reduced. Simulation results are presented for fault detection and control of a group of unmanned underwater vehicles to demonstrate and verify the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":411767,"journal":{"name":"2016 Second International Conference on Event-based Control, Communication, and Signal Processing (EBCCSP)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127433811","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}

Having the resource shared among several applications, to provide hard guarantees, it is required to identify the amount of resource needed for each application. This is rather straightforward when the platform is shared among periodic control and periodic real-time applications. In the case of event-triggered and self-triggered controllers, however, the execution patterns and, in turn, the resource usage are not clear. Therefore, a major implementation challenge, when the platform is shared with self-triggered controllers, is to provide hard and efficient stability and schedulability guarantees for other applications. In this paper, we identify certain execution patterns for self-triggered controllers, using which we are able to provide hard and efficient stability guarantees for periodic control applications.","PeriodicalId":411767,"journal":{"name":"2016 Second International Conference on Event-based Control, Communication, and Signal Processing (EBCCSP)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127846726","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}

Through an event-triggered transmission mechanism it is shown that the amount of data sent to the observer module is significantly reduced. Moreover, an observer-based fault-tolerant controller based on fault and state estimates is obtained. A robust H∞ formulation of the problem is given that guarantees stability of the resulting closed-loop system, attenuates the effects of external disturbances and compensates the effects of the fault.
