Hybrid fuzzy/crisp-logic control of manufacturing systems [PDF]

, 1996
In recent years, techniques such as dynamic programming, the maximum principle, linear programming, and genetic algorithms have been used to synthesise optimal control policies for manufacturing systems.

Embodied Synaptic Plasticity With Online Reinforcement Learning

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2019
The endeavor to understand the brain involves multiple collaborating research fields. Classically, synaptic plasticity rules derived by theoretical neuroscientists are evaluated in isolation on pattern classification tasks.

Tariffs vs Quotas in a Model of Trade with Capital Accumulation [PDF]

, 2000
This paper examines the equivalence among price-modifying and quantity fixing international trade policies in a differential game. We employ two well known capital accumulation dynamics for firms, due to Nerlove and Arrow and to Ramsey, respectively.

Formal Synthesis of Control Strategies for Positive Monotone Systems [PDF]

, 2017
We design controllers from formal specifications for positive discrete-time monotone systems that are subject to bounded disturbances. Such systems are widely used to model the dynamics of transportation and biological networks.

Integrating macroeconomic and public health impacts in social planning policies for pandemic response

Epidemics
Infectious disease outbreaks with pandemic potential present challenges for mitigation and control. Policymakers must reduce disease-associated morbidity and mortality while also minimizing socioeconomic costs of interventions.

The boomerang returns? Accounting for the impact of uncertainties on the dynamics of remanufacturing systems [PDF]

, 2019
Recent years have witnessed companies abandon traditional open-loop supply chain structures in favour of closed-loop variants, in a bid to mitigate environmental impacts and exploit economic opportunities.

Controlled Sensing for Multihypothesis Testing

, 2013
The problem of multiple hypothesis testing with observation control is considered in both fixed sample size and sequential settings. In the fixed sample size setting, for binary hypothesis testing, the optimal exponent for the maximal error probability ...

Multistage Adaptive Estimation of Sparse Signals

, 2013
This paper considers sequential adaptive estimation of sparse signals under a constraint on the total sensing effort. The advantage of adaptivity in this context is the ability to focus more resources on regions of space where signal components exist ...

Toward a Multi-Layer Defence Framework for Securing Near-Real-Time Operations in Open RAN

IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society
Securing the near-real-time (near-RT) control operations in Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN) is increasingly critical, yet remains insufficiently addressed, as new runtime threats target the control loop while the system is operational.

Optimal railway infrastructure maintenance and repair policies to manage risk under uncertainty with adaptive control [PDF]

, 2006
The aim of this paper is to apply two adaptive control formulations under uncertainty, say open-loop and closed-loop, to the process of developing maintenance and repair policies for railway infrastructures.
