Budgeting and Hierarchical Control
Journal of Accounting Research, 1997This paper develops a model of budgeting in hierarchical organizations. Each agent (manager) in the hierarchy receives a budget for a task. Based on his own information, the agent assigns tasks and budgets to his subordinates, who, in turn, do the same for their subordinates, and so forth.

Hierarchical model predictive control
2007 46th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2007This paper deals with the problem of designing stable hierarchical control schemes with Model Predictive Control (MPC). Specifically, at any layer of the considered structure, a robust MPC regulator is used to compute the control variables. In turn, these variables are produced by the subsystems at lower layers and must fulfill the robustness ...

Hierarchic Control for the Wave Equation
Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications, 2018The paper deals with the hierarchical control of the wave equation. The authors consider a problem setting with one leader and two followers. Both the linear and semilinear equations are considered, the latter with a globally Lipschitz nonlinear term. For the linear equation the main result of the paper consists in obtaining the existence of a leader ...

Hierarchical Control of Lymphocyte Survival
Science, 1996After an immune response, the body must eliminate the excess cells generated to fight the foreign invader. Recent work indicates that this removal occurs as a result of an intricate network of regulatory processes. In their Perspective, Boise and Thompson synthesize this new evidence for the control of lymphocyte number by proteases, Bcl-2-related ...

Real-time hierarchical control
IEEE Software, 1992A framework for developing hierarchical control systems consisting of layers that group transformation types, the tools to help implement the layers and validate timing properties, and the mechanisms for communicating among layers is discussed. The layered framework supports the design and implementation of control systems with both continuous and ...

Hierarchical control of flexible robots
1999 European Control Conference (ECC), 1999A hierarchical control for flexible manipulators is presented in this paper. The equations of motion are derived using the miltibody system method. Exploiting the structure of the dynamic model, the control concept allows to combine any given joint level control for the gross motion of the manipulator with a decentralized linear control of the elastic ...

Adaptive hierarchical fuzzy controller
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 1993A methodology for designing adaptive hierarchical fuzzy controllers is presented. In order to evaluate this concept, several suitable performance indices were developed and converted to linguistic fuzzy variables. Based on those variables, a supervisory fuzzy rule set was constructed and used to change the parameters of a hierarchical fuzzy controller ...

The ral hierarchical control system
Proceedings. 1986 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 1986A Hierarchical Control System with organizer, coordinator and hardware levels has been developed. A VAX-11/750 serves as the organizer. An LSI-11/23 equipped with FPF11 floating point processor is the basis of the coordinator. The original controller for a PUMA-600 robotic manipulator has been modified to serve as the hardware level.

Synthesis of hierarchical procedural controllers
Proceedings of the 39th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat. No.00CH37187), 2002Introduces hierarchical procedural control theory. It builds on the properties of decomposition theory to provide a mechanism to tackle large scale problems in synthesising sequential controllers for discrete-event batch operations. The generic behaviour of all the controllers is modelled as a finite state machine, enabling them to be combined and ...

Hierarchical Mobility Controlled by the Network
2002The majority of IP based existing mobility solutions have significant handover execution time and movement detection delay. In this article, we present NCHMIPv6 (Network Controlled Hierarchical Mobile Internet Protocol version 6), a management protocol for hierarchical mobility controlled by the network.
