The growing use of multiprocessing systems has given rise to the necessity of modeling, verifying, and evaluating their performance, in order to fully exploit hardware [9], [15], [16]. The Petri Net (PN) formalism is a suitable tool for modeling parallel systems, because of basic characteristics of these systems, like parallelism and process synchronization. The system under study can be evaluated by means of generating and analyzing a set of processes. In addition [11], the PN formalism allows the incorporation of more details of the real system into the model. Examples of such details include the study of contentions for shared resources (like memory) and the study of blocked processes. In this paper, PN are considered as a modeling framework to verify and study the performance of parallel pipelined communications. The main strength of the pipelines is that, if organized in a proper way, they lead to overlapping of computation, communication, and read/write costs that incur in parallel processing ([7], [1], [14]). The PN model presented in this paper, accurately captures the behavior of a pipeline based parallel communication system. The model considers parallelization, message scheduling, and message classification, while it is proven to be free of deadlocks and contentions. Also, the model is characterized by symmetry, and thus it can be extended for large and complex systems.

This paper presents aspects concerning the design and testing of a new data-driven Iterative Reference Input Tuning (IRIT) algorithm that solves a reference trajectory tracking problem expressed as an optimization problem with control signal saturation constraints and control signal rate constraints. The design of the IRIT algorithm uses an experiment-based stochastic search algorithm formulated in the framework of Iterative Learning Control (ILC) in order to combine the advantages of data-driven control and of ILC. The iterative tuning is model-free in the sense it does not use control system models. A set of simulation results tests and validates the IRIT algorithm in a case study related to a representative mechatronics application that deals with the position control of a nonlinear aero-dynamical system. The IRIT algorithm offers the performance improvement by few iterations and experiments conducted on the process.

This paper deals with the optimal tuning of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers for a pancake direct current (DC) torque motor system that belongs to a Diesel engine exhaust gas recirculation valve in automotive applications. The Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) algorithms solve an optimization problem which targets the minimization of an objective function expressed as the weighted sum of overshoot plus the integral of squared control error, and the parameters of the PID controllers are the variables of the objective function. Our BFO algorithms are characterized by the validation of the position of bacteria only if the PID control system response is in a valid range. A digitally simulated case study which deals with the shaft angle control of a DC torque motor system is considered. The impact of four parameters of one BFO algorithm on the objective function values is discussed.

This paper proposes the Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO)-based tuning of controllers for a pancake DC torque motor in the framework of a Diesel engine exhaust gas recirculation valve as a representative automotive torque motor actuator. The validation of the position of bacteria only if the control system response is in a valid range is inserted in the BFO algorithm. PID and sliding mode controllers are optimally tuned by the BFO algorithm focused on solving an optimization problem that minimizes an objective function expressed as the weighted sum of overshoot plus the integral of squared error. The parameters of these two controllers belong to the vector variables of the objective function. A case study that deals with the shaft angle control of an automotive torque motor actuator is included to validate our approach by simulation results. The comparison of control system performance is carried out.

This paper proposes an optimal path planning approach based on Charged System Search (CSS) algorithms. The approach is applied to multiple mobile robots on holonomic wheeled platforms. Optimization problems (o.p.s) are defined for each robot to minimize the weighted sum of four objective functions whose minimization targets four path planning objectives. The CSS algorithms are mapped onto the o.p.s considering that the fitness functions are the objective functions, the search spare is the solution space, the agents (charged particles) are the mobile robots, and the population of agents is the set of mobile robots. Therefore, the optimal solutions to the o.p.s are the optimal paths. The new path planning approach is validated by experiments, and a comparison with other nature-inspired optimization-based path planning approaches is given.

This paper suggests a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) approach to the optimal tuning of fuzzy models for Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABSs). A set of ten local state-space models of the ABS is first obtained by the linearization of the nonlinear state-space model of the ABS process at ten operating points. The initial Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models are next obtained by the modal equivalence principle, namely by placing the local state-space models of the process in the rule consequents. The optimization problem targets the minimization of the objective function (OF) expressed as the mean squared modeling error, and the vector variable of the OF consists of the feet of the triangular input membership functions. A PSO algorithm solves the optimization problem and gives the optimal T-S fuzzy models. A set of real-time experimental results is included to validate the PSO approach and the optimal T-S fuzzy models for real-world ABS laboratory equipment.

This paper suggests a model-free tuning solution for a sliding mode control system (SMCS) structure dedicated to servo systems. The new SMCS structure is viewed in the framework of reference trajectory tracking using a first-order nonlinear dynamic system as a local approximation of the process model. The sliding mode control signal augments the control signal specific to a model-free PI control system (CS) structure in order to compensate for the estimation errors which affect the systematic design and performance. The derivatives in the local approximation of the process model are estimated numerically using a Savitzky-Golay filter to carry out both differentiation and smoothing. A simple design approach is proposed for the SMCS structure. The real-time experimental results concerning the speed control of a laboratory nonlinear DC servo system prove the performance improvement of the SMCS structure against a model-free PI CS structure.

This paper suggests new data-driven Model-Free Control (MFC) and Model-Free Adaptive Control (MFAC) algorithms for Multi Input-Multi Output (MIMO) twin rotor aerodynamic systems. The discrete-time formulation of the algorithms is given in the framework of a MIMO control system structure with azimuth and pitch position control loops. The MFC and MFAC algorithms are validated by a set of experimental results on representative laboratory equipment. The performance comparison of the MFC- and MFAC-based MIMO control systems and azimuth and pitch position control is carried out considering three experimental scenarios.
