Suboptimal Control Techniques for Networked Hybrid Systems
Over the past decade, major advancements in the areas of communications and computer networks [20] have made it possible for control engineers to... -
A Sliding Mode Approach to Traffic Engineering in Computer Networks
In this chapter, we address the problem of optimal Traffic Engineering (TE) in computer networks; i.e., determining an optimal traffic allocation in... -
Delay Effects on the Asymptotic Stability of Various Fluid Models in High-Performance Networks
Roughly speaking, a communication network consists of a collection of (network users/sources) elements interconnected to transfer information or data... -
Self-Tuning Fuzzy Rule Bases with Belief Structure
A fuzzy rule-based evidential reasoning (FURBER) approach has been proposed recently, where a fuzzy rule-base designed on the basis of a belief... -
Logical Regression Analysis: From Mathematical Formulas to Linguistic Rules
Data mining means the discovery of knowledge from (a large amount of)data, and so data mining should provide not only predictions but also knowledge... -
Just-in-Time Approach to Learning: Arguing the Case for Cost-Effective Knowledge Dissemination
This chapter focuses on e-learning and its relationship with organizational knowledge dissemination. We argue this requires a holistic approach that... -
Intelligent Virtual Teaching
There are two major groups of existed adaptive education systems: Adaptive Hypermedia (AH) and Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). While the atention... -
Personalized Multi-Stage Decision Support in Reverse Logistics Management
Reverse logistics has gained increasing importance as a profitable and sustainable business strategy. As a reverse logistics chain has strong... -
Advanced Simulator Data Mining for Operators’ Performance Assessment
This chapter covers the use of data mining operations associated with power plant simulations for training and other purposes, such as risk... -
Data Mining for Maximal Frequent Patterns in Sequence Groups
In this paper, we give a general treatment for mining some kinds of sequences such as customer sequences, document sequences, and DNA sequences.... -
Privacy-Preserving Data Mining
The growth of data mining has raised concerns among privacy advocates. Some of this is based on a misunderstanding of what data mining does. The... -
Sensory Quality Management and Assessment: from Manufacturers to Consumers
This paper presents an intelligent technique based method for analyzing and interpreting sensory data provided by multiple panels for the evaluation... -
Develo** a User Centered Model for Creating a Virtual Learning Portfolio
This chapter presents a personal content management framework, where an individual has the ability to create an electronic summary of their... -
Stabilized Vegas
TCP Vegas was introduced in 1994 [5] as an alternative to TCP Reno. Unlike Reno (or its variants such as NewReno and SACK), that uses packet loss as... -
Global Stability of Nonlinear Congestion Control with Time-Delay
In recent years large strides have been taken in analytical approaches to network congestion control. These methods, originating in the academic... -
On Communication Requirements for Multi-agent Consensus Seeking
Several consensus protocols have been proposed in the literature and their convergence properties studied via a variety of methods. In all these... -
Beating the Bounds on Stabilizing Data Rates in Networked Systems
This paper applies simple, classical feedback control and quantization schemes to the problem of bit rate reduction for stabilizing unstable linear... -
On Quantization and Delay Effects in Nonlinear Control Systems
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that a unified study of quantization and delay effects in nonlinear control systems is possible by... -
Performance Evaluation for Model-Based Networked Control Systems
The performance of a class of Model-Based Networked Control System (MB-NCS) is considered in this paper. A MB-NCS uses an explicit model of the plant... -
Anticipative and Non-anticipative Controller Design for Network Control Systems
We propose a numerical procedure to design a linear output-feedback controller for a remote linear plant in which the loop is closed through a...
