This paper presents the main features of a sugar factory training simulator currently used for control room operators training. This simulator is based on a realistic distributed real time simulation of the whole factory and in a mimic of the controlsystem. It allows the familiarization of the operators with the process and controlsystem as well as with the process information that they use in the real plant. The main aims of the simulator are: (i) to guarantee operators knowledge of the process, and its controlsystem; (ii) to test potentially dangerous situations and (iii) to identify possible problems sources and learn to correct them.

controlsystems design has traditionally been treated separately from the design of its software and hardware implementation. The increasing use of embedded control in for example distributed, safety critical and mass-produced systems has caused an increasing need for the simultaneous consideration of the controlsystem and its implementation platform during development. To this end, there is a need for both theoretical contributions and supporting tools that assist designers in understanding and analyzing the intricate relationships between the qualities, such as control performance, robustness and cost, and design parameters related to controlsystem and platform design. This paper explores issues in co-design. A number of representative tools are compared with the purposes of illustrating different approaches concerning the levels of abstraction, analysis vs. synthesis features, constraints addressed and usability features. A perspective to the co-design tools is also provided, where opportunities and challenges for future design environments are discussed.

This paper focuses on the suboptimal regulation of multivariable discrete-time bilinear systems consisting of interconnected bilinear subsystems with respect to a linear quadratic optimal regulation criterion which involves the use of state weighting terms only. Three transformations are used in order to treat the scheme over an equivalent linear system. This leads to the appearance of quadratic weighting terms related to both transformed input and state variables. In this way, a Ricatti matrix-sequence allowing the synthesis of a standard feedback control law is obtained

This paper presents EDUSCA, an EDUcational SCAda with OPC data access. EDUSCA was specially designed for automaticcontrol education, research and operator training purposes. The developed system takes advantage of the facilities offered by the OPC communication architecture. The system allows the students to face real practical problems, could be used to train operators in plant supervision and also allows the implementation of research functionalities. Their main advantages of EDUSCA are: (i) it can be connected to any plant whenever it includes OPC communications; (ii) it is free of licenses, thus it can be installed in many computers as necessary; (iii) it can be adapted to each application requirements and (iv) it allows the implementation of a diverse set of functionalities, as for example, control algorithms.

The efficiency of the distributed systems is most often dominated by the network communications between the different sites. In distributed database systems, the communication between the different sites is almost essential to satisfy a query. In order to minimize the time required to respond to a query in such systems, a reliable fragmentation technique is required to place the data as close to its user as possible. The placement of these fragments to the proper sites is a complementary step to assure the right position of these fragments. The previous fragmentation techniques provided a way for fragmentation of the database that is followed by an allocation technique to allocate the produced fragments as separate steps. The key idea of this paper is that it introduces a novel technique that combines both the fragmentation and allocation processes into one composite process thus putting into consideration the allocation constraints while fragmenting the data. It also simplifies the effort required to get the best fragments and the best location of these fragments. This proposed technique relies on a cost-based model rather than an affinity model as being used in previous techniques. The case of simple methods and complex attributes database is considered in this paper. The results obtained by the technique proofed the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed technique.

The paper deals with the frequency domain design of a robust power system stabilizer (PSS) for a multivariable power system. The proposed PSS design procedure is based on a novel approach that applies the independent design methodology to the so-called equivalent subsystems along with the well-known Small Gain theory and the robust stability conditions in the M-Δ setup. Theoretical results have been applied to the design of a robust multivariable PSS for a part of the Power system of the Slovak Republic.
