Abstract In this paper, we develop a novel self-propelled particle model to describe the emergent behavior of a group of mobile agents. All agents coordinate with their neighbors through local social forces accounting for velocity alignment and collision avoidance. We allow the interaction ranges to adapt to the group density. This range adaption results in topology changes as well as discontinuities in those social forces. We apply differential inclusion technique to analyze the convergence properties of the proposed control method. The analytical and numerical results show that all the agents eventually align their velocities and avoid collisions with each other no matter how fast the topology changes.

Abstract The consensus problem for multi-agent systems with double integrator dynamics is considered in this paper. We propose and analyze a connectivity-preserving consensus algorithm with position measurements only. Under the assumption that the initial interaction network is connected, the connectivity of the interaction network during the dynamical evolution can be preserved. Moreover, the consensus algorithm with a virtual leader is investigated. It is shown that all the agents can asymptotically attain a desired position and velocity even if only one agent in the team has access to the information of the virtual leader. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

In terms of the convenience and interaction in the smart home, context awareness is introduced when we enter or leave a house resulting from that conventional methods such as RFID and pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensors are usually adopted in indoor environments which are tough to determine the human motion direction. Specifically, a centroid based human motion recognition is implemented along with the eigenface based face recognition, which are both used to detect an event with the time and place added. Thus, an event driven application is constructed concerning the distinctive reactions towards different events detected. This paper initially proposes the algorithms adopted in the recognition of motion and face. Finally, with the method integration, an experiment is carried out in our demonstration room comprising the information integration of the camera videos as well as the communication in the wireless nodes that enables the reactions of the corresponding actuators, which is a positive attempt in context-aware smart home and can be further investigated afterwards.

Proportional, integral and derivative (PID) controller has been widely used in many aspects of the industries since its theory was published. In this paper, a systematic approach for the tuning strategy of MacPID controller parameters for first order plus dead time (FOPDT) model is proposed. This method aims to simplify the process PID parameters adjustment and to achieve a desired effect in the same time. Moreover, the proposed rule is compared with other well-known tuning strategies to demonstrate its simplicity and accuracy.

The problem of efficient routing arises in several applications such as transportation problems and network optimization. The increasing availability of large network data sets and the impact of networks on everyday life has set new standard to route computations, necessitating research for even faster and more accurate shortest path algorithms. A hierarchical graph model is developed based on an effective partition of graphs for decomposing the complex search problem. A new heuristic hierarchical routing algorithm is then proposed to significantly reduce the search space by pruning searches towards unpromising subgraph branches. Experimental results on New York City road network demonstrate the performance of the algorithm.

The ART-2 network is a typical adaptive resonance theory based neural network approach for clustering purpose and has been successfully used in many fields. However, one of the fatal shortcomings of traditional ART-2 is that its final results heavily depend on a pre-defined fixed vigilance threshold parameter, which makes it infeasible to be applied in different complicated applications. Another disadvantage of traditional ART-2 method is that the number of categories in the network will increase all the time with the continuous input. Considering these points, an improved algorithm of ART-2 has been presented in this paper called the Robust ART-2. We first systematically analyze the dynamic changes of the optimal vigilance threshold with the succession inputs and propose a new adaptive method to make the network itself can automatically choose the optimal threshold in various situations. Then we introduce a constraint parameter to confine the scale of ART-2 network by limiting the maximal number of categories of network. Simulation experiments including artificial and benchmark data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm.

This paper studies the problem of the mixed H 2 /H ∞ robust model predictive control (RMPC) for a class of linear systems with structure uncertainties and disturbance. A sufficient condition for the mixed H 2 /H ∞ RMPC are given in term of the solvability of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). In addition, the feasible conditions are discussed. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Cognitive radio networks have made a dramatic shift towards variously cooperative paradigm to achieve fast, reliable spectrum sensing and effective spectrum usage in recent past In this paper, we develop a Flexibly Cooperative Spectrum Sensing and Allocation (FCSSA) framework in cognitive radio networks. The proposed FCSSA framework captures the essential interactive function between cooperative spectrum sensing and allocation, which allows licensed channel and secondary users bargaining on their decisions, such as the enforceable requirements of spectrum sensing time, energy detection threshold and secondary users' payment for spectrum access, to maximize their utilities respectively. Moreover, we apply Stackelberg game to formulate the joint cooperative spectrum sensing and allocation design. The leader (authorized agent of licensed channel) decides spectrum sensing time and energy detection threshold according to the predictable behavior of secondary users. The followers (secondary users) make their payment decision underlying a non-cooperative game according to the limited information from licensed channel. Numeric simulations verify that our proposed jointly design framework in cooperative spectrum sensing and allocation can increase the agility and effectiveness of dynamic spectrum usage.

In order to estimate the state of urban traffic flow, a Probe-Vehicle-Tracking based method is proposed in this paper. The method collects traffic flow data with Global Positioning system (GPS)-equipped taxies, which are taken as the probe vehicles. Then, the A* heuristic search algorithm is employed to judge the optimal vehicle tracking path. In addition, the average velocities of road links are calculated by considering the velocities of vehicle tracks as well as their corresponding credibility factors. Finally, an experiment with massive real-world traffic data in the surface road network of Shanghai was carried out, and the ground truth of the average velocity was obtained by repeating the videos shot on the 24 links in Shanghai downtown. The experiment results verify that the method has high accuracy and can be applied in engineering practice.

Ash deposition on heat transfer surfaces still to be a significant problem in power plant utility boilers. The effective ways to deal with this problem are accuracy on-line monitoring of ash fouling and soot-blowing. In this paper, the on-line ash fouling monitoring dynamic models of coal-fired utility boiler's heat transfer surfaces are proposed. The fundamental principle of the models is dynamic heat balance method. Finally, taking the economizer of a certain 300MW power plant utility boiler as the object of consideration, ash fouling of the transfer surface has been calculated with real time data from the DCS. The calculation results show the effectiveness of the dynamic models mentioned above. Some preliminary results analysis are shown aiming at the situation that the cleanliness factor has a obvious increased but its not corresponding to the soot-blowing point. The dynamic models are contributed to ash fouling monitoring and optimization of the soot-blowing.
