Modeling uncertainty has been an active and important topic in the fields of data-driven modeling and machine learning. Uncertainty ubiquitously exists in any data modeling process, making it challenging to identify the optimal models among many potential candidates. This article proposes an uncertainty-informed method to address the model selection problem. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated on a dataset generated from a complex system model. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and its superiority over conventional approaches. This method has minimal requirements for the length of training data and model types, making it applicable for various modeling frameworks.

The increasing availability of cloud computing services has revolutionized industrial productivity by providing essential tools for data storage, data transfer, and computation. In a cloud-based control system (CCS), the controller is located in the cloud, thereby enabling complex computation processes such as nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC). Using cloud computing, expensive control algorithms can be deployed without the upfront cost of a local computing unit. The computation time can be drastically reduced due to the improved computing power, which is important in the case of systems with fast dynamics in combination with NMPC-based control to maintain the existing time step size with regard to the calculation time. Placing the controller in the cloud also introduces communication latency in the control loop. It has been highlighted in former studies that computation time and communication latency can reduce the reliability and stability of a CCS. This paper proposes a cloud-based model predictive control strategy that extends simple time delay compensation with event-based control to reduce the effect of computation and communication delays. The optimal input variable sequence is used until a new sequence is available. This event-based method reduces the amount of communication and redundant calculations. The developed CCS algorithm is implemented in the real-time control of an experimental pendulum crane system. The effects of the proposed algorithm in mitigating computation and communication delay are compared to another CCS strategy that only uses the first element of the sequence.

We consider the problem of control allocation for weakly redundant systems subject to actuator faults. In particular, the design of a suitable allocator will be devised with the aim of compensating for the fault effects while, at the same time, keeping the control burden as low as possible. To this goal, two approaches can be followed for the synthesis of the allocation servomechanism: direct allocation using orthogonal projection and optimization-based allocation. Some numerical examples illustrate and highlight advantages, disadvantages and limitations of both strategies.

In the domain of high reliability applications, Burn-In testing (BI) is always present since it is one of the prime countermeasures against the infant mortality phenomenon. Traditional static BI testing proves to be inefficient for modern circuit designs. As the devices’ feature size scales down and their structural and architectural complexity increases, so does the complexity and cost of the BI test. Different BI methods are employed by the industry where stimuli are also applied to the devices under test (DUTs) in order to effectively stress and stimulate all nets of the design. One known industry practice resorts to Design for Testability (DfT) infrastructures (e.g., scan) and is based on the application of test vectors at low frequency to excite the DUT as much as possible with the goal of switching each net of the design at least once. In this paper we consider the case where the layout of the circuit is known and propose two novel methods able to automatically produce functional stimuli to switch pairs of neighboring nodes (i.e., nodes that are placed within a specified distance in the DUT) in short periods of time. This solution has been shown to be able to trigger some latent defects in a circuit better than other methods. As a case study, we target functional units within a RISC-V processor (RI5CY). We show that the functional stimuli generated by the exact method described in the paper are able to achieve optimal results (i.e., the maximum functional switching of neighboring pairs), thus maximizing the chance that their at-speed application can activate weak points in the circuit.

This paper studies the formation of final opinions for the Friedkin-Johnsen (FJ) model with a community of partially stubborn agents. The underlying network of the FJ model is symmetric and generated from a random graph model, in which each link is added independently from a Bernoulli distribution. It is shown that the final opinions of the FJ model will concentrate around those of an FJ model over the expected graph as the network size grows, on the condition that the stubborn agents are well connected to other agents. Probability bounds are proposed for the distance between these two final opinion vectors, respectively for the cases where there exist non-stubborn agents or not. Numerical experiments are provided to illustrate the theoretical findings. The simulation shows that, in presence of non-stubborn agents, the link probability between the stubborn and the non-stubborn communities affect the distance between the two final opinion vectors significantly. Additionally, if all agents are stubborn, the opinion distance decreases with the agent stubbornness.
