Given a plant system and a desired system, we study conditions for which there exists a controller that interconnected with the plant, yields a system that is bisimilar to the desired system. Some sufficient and some necessary conditions are provided in the general case of (non-deterministic) abstract state systems and stronger results are obtained for the special classes of autonomous abstract state systems, finite abstract state systems, and non-deterministic linear dynamical systems.

Feature tracking in large data sets is traditionally an off-line, batch processing operation while virtual reality typically focuses on highly interactive tasks and applications. This paper presents an approach that uses a combination of off-line preprocessing and interactive visualization in VR to simplify and speed up the identification of interesting features for further study. We couch the discussion in terms of our collaborative research on using virtual reality for cumulus cloud life-cycle studies, where selecting suitable clouds for study is simple for the skilled observer but difficult to formalize. The preprocessing involves identifying individual clouds within the data set through a 4D connected components algorithm, and then saving isosurface, bounding box, and volume information. This information is then interactively visualized in our VR Cloud Explorer with various tools and information displays to identify the most interesting clouds. In a small pilot study, reasonable performance, both in the preprocessing phase and the visualization phase, has been measured.

Upon oxidation, a silica scale forms on MoSi2, a potential high-temperature coating material for metals. This silica scale protects MoSi2 against high-temperature corrosive gases or liquids. We use periodic density functional theory to examine the interface between SiO2 and MoSi2. The interfacial bonding is localized, as evidenced by an adhesion energy that changes only slightly with the thickness of the SiO2 layer. Moreover, the adhesion energy displays a relatively large (0.40J∕m2) variation with the relative lateral position of the SiO2 and MoSi2 lattices due to changes in Si−O bonding across the interface. The most stable interfacial structure yields an ideal work of adhesion of 5.75J∕m2 within the local density approximation (5.02J∕m2 within the generalized-gradient approximation) to electron exchange and correlation, indicating extremely strong adhesion. Local densities of states and electron density difference plots demonstrate that the interfacial Si−O bonds are covalent in character. Mo−O interactions are not found in the SiO2∕MoSi2 interface investigated here. Our work predicts that the SiO2 scale strongly adheres to MoSi2, and further supports the potential of MoSi2 as a high-temperature structural material and coating.

We show that the Hilbert space of even number (⩾4) of qubits can always be decomposed as a direct sum of four orthogonal subspaces such that the normalized projectors onto the subspaces are activable bound entangled (ABE) states. These states also show a surprising recursive relation in the sense that the states belonging to 2N+2 qubits are Bell correlated to the states of 2N qubits; hence, we refer to these states as Bell-correlated ABE (BCABE) states. We also study the properties of noisy BCABE states and show that they are very similar to that of two qubit Bell-diagonal states.

This report discusses problems and methodologies that lie in the broad scope of systems and signals, with special focus on modeling, identification and signal processing; adaptation and learning; discrete event and hybrid systems; and stochastic systems. A common theme underlying all these areas is that problems in control systems and signals are usually defined and best studied in the framework of stochastic approaches. Although there are common precepts among all these technologies, there are also many unique topics within each area. Therefore, the current key problems in each technology are explained, followed by a discussion of recent major accomplishments with trends, and finally some forecasts of likely developments are provided. The conclusion summarizes some general forecasts for the overall field of systems and signals.
