Tissue P systems are a class of distributed and parallel computing models inspired from inter-cellular communication and cooperation between cells. In this work, a variant of tissue P system, named tissue P system with look-ahead mode, is discussed for decreasing the inherent non-determinism of tissue P systems and helping implementing tissue P systems on computers. Such systems are proved to be universal by simulating register machine, and they are also proved to be able to efficiently solve computationally hard problems by means of a spacetime tradeoff, which is illustrated with a polynomial solution to 3-coloring problem.

For link prediction, Common Neighbours (CN) ranking measures allow to discover quality links between nodes in a social network, assessing the likelihood of a new link based on the neighbours frontier of the already existing nodes. A zero rank value is often given to a large number of pairs of nodes, which have no common neighbours, that instead can be potentially good candidates for a quality assessment. With the aim of improving the quality of the ranking for link prediction, in this work we propose a general technique to evaluate the likelihood of a linkage, iteratively applying a given ranking measure to the Quasi-Common Neighbours (QCN) of the node pair, i.e. iteratively considering paths between nodes, which include more than one traversing step. Experiments held on a number of datasets already accepted in literature show that QCNAA, our QCN measure derived from the well know Adamic-Adar (AA), effectively improves the quality of link prediction methods, keeping the prediction capability of the original AA measure. This approach, being general and usable with any CN measure, has many different applications, e.g. trust management, terrorism prevention, disambiguation in co-authorship networks.

This paper proposes a model predictive control (MPC) approach for discrete-time jump Markov linear systems (JMLS) considering constraints on the inputs as well as on the expectancy of the states. Prediction equations for the first moment of the states are formulated, in which the dependencies on the inputs, on the expected values of disturbances, and on the current states are directly considered. For the computation of the matrices needed for predicting the first moment of the states, a recursive algorithm is presented. Finally, the prediction equations are used to formulate the MPC problem as a quadratic program (QP). Due to the recursive structure of the prediction equations and the formulation as a QP, the computational effort is low compared to existing approaches. Simulation results demonstrate the properties of the presented MPC approach and its capabilities of controlling large-scale JMLS online.

A measurement-based statistical verification approach is developed for systems with partly unknown dynamics. These grey-box systems are subject to identification experiments which, new in this contribution, enable accepting or rejecting system properties expressed in a linear-time logic. We employ a Bayesian framework for the computation of a confidence level on the properties and for the design of optimal experiments. Applied to dynamical systems, this work enables data-driven verification of partly-known system dynamics with controllable non-determinism (inputs) and noisy output observations. A numerical case study concerning the safety of a dynamical system is used to elucidate this data-driven and model-based verification technique.

Passivity is one of the most physically appealing concepts in systems and control theory. The stored internal energy in a passive system is bounded from above by the externally supplied energy. It is well known that this energy dissipation property has important implications for closed-loop stability. Additionally, the passivity property is preserved with respect to feedback and parallel interconnections of passive systems. This composability property of passive systems is crucial in designing and analyzing highly networked systems. Due to these desirable features, the passivity paradigm has been widely utilized to achieve outstanding success in robot control, which is the main focus of the session. The tutorial session starts with a historical perspective on passivity-based robot control and its broad applicability to several important problems in robotics. Despite the long history, passivity-based robot control is being actively utilized in addressing emerging problems in robot control. Hence, the remainder of the session presents application of passivity-based robot control to address important research issues in bilateral teleoperation, visual feedback estimation and robot control, cooperative robot control, and mixed human-robot teams.

A robust appearance model is usually required in visual tracking, which can handle pose variation, illumination variation, occlusion and many other interferences occurring in video. So far, a number of tracking algorithms make use of image samples in previous frames to update appearance models. There are many limitations of that approach: 1) At the beginning of tracking, there exists no sufficient amount of data for online update because these adaptive models are data-dependent and 2) in many challenging situations, robustly updating the appearance models is difficult, which often results in drift problems. In this paper, we proposed a tracking algorithm based on compressive sensing theory and particle filter framework. Features are extracted by random projection with data-independent basis. Particle filter is employed to make a more accurate estimation of the target location and make much of the updated classifier. The robustness and the effectiveness of our tracker have been demonstrated in several experiments.

This paper describes the application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference architecture for supporting the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation. The fuzzy system has been trained with the backpropagation gradient descent method in combination with the least squares method. A total of 38 patients have been divided into training and testing data sets. The performance of the fuzzy model has been evaluated in terms of classification accuracies and the results of the simulation confirmed that the proposed fuzzy approach has potential in supporting the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation.

In this paper we examine the amplitude and phase dynamics of power-electronic inverters in islanded microgrids that are controlled to emulate the dynamics of a class of weakly nonlinear Lienard-type oscillators. The general strategy of controlling inverters to emulate the behavior of Lienard-type oscillators is termed Virtual Oscillator control (VOC), and it presents a compelling time-domain alternative to ubiquitous droop control methods which linearly trade off voltage frequencies and magnitudes with active and reactive power injections. In comparison to droop control, which assumes a priori that the network operates in a quasi-stationary sinusoidal steady state, VOC is a time-domain control strategy that globally stabilizes a desired sinusoidal steady state. The main, and somewhat surprising, result of this paper is that--when reduced to the sinusoidal steady state--the VOC dynamics correspond to those of droop control. Hence, VOC is a globally stabilizing control strategy that can deal with higher-order harmonics and includes droop control in the harmonic steady state. The results are intriguing, in that they suggest that droop control laws can be recovered from averaging the complex dynamics of a class of weakly nonlinear limit-cycle oscillators.
