Disagreement and the Allocation of Control

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2006
I study how to allocate control (over one or multiple projects) when people may openly disagree on the optimal course of action. I first show that, in the efficient allocation, complementary decisions should be decided by the same person, while substitute decisions should be decided by different people.

Adaptive allocation in randomized controlled trials

Controlled Clinical Trials, 1985
Adaptive allocation has been proposed as a procedure to reduce the risk of chance imbalance of important prognostic factors in randomized controlled trials when the number of prognostic factors is large. In this article, minimization, a type of adaptive allocation, is compared to simple randomization and stratified allocation in a series of Monte Carlo

A control allocation approach to haptic control of underwater robots

2015 IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts (ARSO), 2015
This paper presents a new set of approaches for teleoperation of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), or autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) with on-board cameras. We address the control allocation problem for underwater vehicles, i.e., how to best distribute the control forces so that the robot behaves as intuitively as possible based on the operator ...

Vehicle dynamics control and controller allocation for rollover prevention

2006 IEEE Conference on Computer Aided Control System Design, 2006 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications, 2006 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control, 2006
Vehicle rollover accidents are a particularly dangerous form of road accident. Commercial vehicles are especially prone to rollover accidents due to their high centres of gravity. A nonlinear control strategy is presented which guarantees asymptotic tracking of a yaw rate reference while bounding the roll angle, thus preventing rollover.

Switching control resource allocation in Networked Control Systems

2015 54th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2015
This paper is devoted to ℋ2 state feedback sampled-data control design in the context of Networked Control Systems (NCS). Signals are transmitted through a limited bandwidth channel and a cooperative resource sharing dynamic strategy is proposed in order to control simultaneously several different LTI plants.

Evaluation of Optimization Methods for Control Allocation

Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, 2001
The performanceand computational requirements ofoptimization methodsfor control allocation areevaluated. Two control allocation problems are formulated: a direct allocation method that preserves the directionality of the moment and a mixed optimization method that minimizes the error between the desired and the achieved momentsaswellasthecontroleffort ...

Modeling The Cost Of Resource Allocation In Distributed Control

1990 Eastern Multiconference. Record of Proceedings. The 23rd Annual Simulation Symposium, 1990
Modifying our previously developed simulation model [FRA89], we study in this paper the costs associated with distributed allocation of computing resources in a multitasking environment. Using funds endowed upon arrival, computing tasks compete for necessary resources through sealed-bid auctions to improve their processing schedules.

The Allocation of Control Rights in Pharmaceutical Alliances

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2006
Abstract This paper uses alliances in the biopharmaceutical industry to test contractual theories of the firm. I find that the allocation of control rights between pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms is sensitive to the bargaining position of both parties.

Control allocation overview and application to marine vessel control

2016 European Control Conference (ECC), 2016
The control algorithm hierarchy of motion control for over-actuated mechanical systems with a redundant set of effectors and actuators commonly includes three levels. First, a high-level motion control algorithm commands a vector of virtual control efforts (i.e. forces and moments) in order to meet the overall motion control objectives.
