Sequential Pattern Mining*
Sequential pattern discovery has emerged as an important research topic in knowledge discovery and data mining with broad applications. Previous... -
Uncertain Knowledge Association Through Information Gain
The problem of entity association is at the core of information mining techniques. In this work we propose an approach that links the similarity of... -
Current Status of Computerized Decision Support Systems in Mammography
Breast cancer is one of the most devastating and deadly diseases for women today. Despite advances in cancer treatment, early mammographic detection... -
6 Beamforming Combined with Multi-channel Acoustic Echo Cancellation
For audio signal acquisition, beamforming microphone arrays can be efficiently used for enhancing a desired signal while suppressing... -
4 Optimum Beamforming for Wideband Non-stationary Signals
Array processing techniques strive for extraction of maximum information from a propagating wave field using groups of sensors, which are located at... -
Introduction
The topic of this book is the stability analysis of continuous finite dimensional systems. The book consists of 13 chapters and two appendices. -
10. Aizerman’s Problem for Nonautonomous Systems
Let b k (t) (t≥ 0; k=1, ... , n) be real non-negative scalar-valued functions having continuous derivatives up to... -
1. Examples and Modelling of Switched and Impulsive Systems
When you begin to read this book, you may ask: “what is a switched and impulsive system?” This is a question that may be best answered through... -
A Fuzzy Approach on Guiding Model for Interception Flight
This chapter presents an original moving control model based on the fuzzy logic, applied to some navigation special issues. The steps taken on... -
Applications of Fuzzy Logic in Mobile Robots Control
Fuzzy logic is a mathematical tool that can manipulate human reasoning, concepts and linguistic terms. It suits ill-defined systems since it can... -
H∞ Control
The problem of H∞ control has been a topic of recurring interest for two decades. The so-called bounded real lemma has played an important role in... -
2 Hybrid Estimation at a Glance
One of our test applications is a simulation study of the BIO-Plex Test Complex at NASA Johnson Space Center, a five chamber facility for evaluating... -
1 Introduction
In control theory, the dynamic behavior of Continuous-State Systems (CSS) is typically modelled by differential or difference equations. A... -
2 State Tree Structures: Basics
Complex DES are often equipped with hierarchy and concurrency structure. It is often a challenge to incorporate these features into a compact and... -
4 Hybrid Estimation
Whenever we automate a complex physical artifact it is essential to know its operational state at each time. However, it is not always possible or... -
5 The Production Cell Example
This chapter explains how to model and control a benchmark example, the Production Cell, using the State Tree Structure (STS) methodology. We will... -
Literature Overview
This chapter introduces the main literature relevant for the field of reconfi-guration. During the last decade, different communities have dealt with... -
Linear Reconfiguration Problem
In this chapter, the general reconfiguration problem is specialised by applying it to linear systems. The advantage is that the problem can be broken... -
9 On Observing Contact States in Overconstrained Manipulation
Estimation of contact state is important to any multi-point interaction that involves frictional stick/slip phenomena. In particular, when there are... -
6 Shared Control
Based on the successful implementations of the lateral balancing and tiltup motion, in this chapter, we are going to develop a shared control...
