Minimizing control cost in resource-constrained control systems: from Feedback scheduling to event-driven control [PDF]

, 2010
This paper evaluates approaches aimed at minimizing aggregated control cost of a set of controllers that concurrently execute sharing limited computing resources. The evaluation focuses on feedback scheduling and event-driven control methods.

Control Automation to Reduce Costs of Control [PDF]

International Journal of Information System Modeling and Design, 2012
Much compliance effort concerns adherence to contracts. Parties to a contract need to make sure that the other parties will deliver. To this end they may require additional controls in the business process to monitor delivery and induce contractual penalties when needed. Controls have costs.

Distrust – the Hidden Cost of Control [PDF]

, 2004
We show experimentally that a principal’s distrust in the voluntary performance of an agenthas a negative impact on the agent’s motivation to perform well. Before the agent chooseshis performance, the principal in our experiment decides whether he wants to restrict theagents’ choice set by implementing a minimum performance level for the agent.
