Achieving fault tolerance in process control usually involves supervision and reconfiguration. On the other hand, common robust control approaches achieve a common performance level for a family of plants, which can be unsatisfactory in the nominal case if faulty conditions are not taken into account. This paper discusses the problem of guaranteeing both a nominal performance and a degraded second-class control performance under actuators' permanent faults, by using a time invariant controller. LMI, BMI and other possible solutions are investigated in a multivariable state feedback control framework. Two examples from the literature (reactor and jet bank angle control) illustrate the procedure.

The mobility and ubiquity for any type of device to access the IPTV network must be supplied by the service provider. The minimum bandwidth required in the access network to provide IPTV services jointly with the necessity to guarantee the Quality of Experience (QoE) to the user makes the need of algorithms to combine different wireless standards and technologies in the access network. In this paper, we propose a system that decides which type of wireless access network to connect with (for dual-band and tri-band devices) depending on the requirements of the IPTV client, the available networks, and some network parameters, such as the number of loss packets and packet delay, to provide the maximum QoE to the customer. The measurements taken in a real environment from the wireless networks allow us to know the weight of the parameters in the proposed algorithm. Copyright 2009 ACM.

In Networked controlsystems, delays are unavoidable. Moreover, loss of data should be taken into account. Smith-like predictor is the most common approach to cope with delays, but open loop stability is required to ensure internal stability. Some recent results allow dealing with these systems, if a SISO structure is concerned. In this paper, the design of a predictor-observer for possible unstable MIMO delayed systems is proposed. Also, a missing data reconstruction approach is proposed. The main result is illustrated by the networked control of an unstable chemical reactor.

This paper presents a novel control design technique in order to obtain a Guaranteed Cost Fuzzy controller subject to constraints on the input channel. This Guaranteed cost control law is obtained via multi-parametric Quadratic Programming. The result is a piecewise fuzzy control law where the state partition is defined by fuzzy inequalities. The parameters of the Lyapunov function can be obtained previously using linear matrix inequalities optimization.

Nowadays, the use of kinematically redundant robotic workcells for machining tasks is increasing. It is due to their capacity to avoid singular configurations, although a choice among a set of possible configurations is required. Experience and knowledge of the workman in charge of the manufacturing process allow carrying out an efficient control of the movement in these cases. However, it is a tedious job. This article presents an effective implementation of a CAM-robotics integrated fuzzy postprocessor based on the position analysis. It is focused on a workcell consisting of one robotic manipulator (KUKA KR15/2 with 6 rotary joints) mounted on a linear axis and synchronized with a rotary table. After the implementation of the inverse kinematics position analysis, a stand-alone fuzzy controller has been programmed with Matlab's fuzzy logic toolbox (The MathWorks, Inc.). Two C++ programs complement the translation of toolpath position information from the NX-CAM platform (NXtrade-Siemens Corp.) into KRL (KUKA robot language), in order to adequate the location of the robot and the workpiece in the execution of the task and avoiding singularities or joint limits. This article solves the problem for a constant tool orientation milling process and sets the technological basis for future research at five axis milling operations.

In contrast with the simple and elegant concept of global computing, also called ubiquitous computing - where daily life objects get now computing capacity and interact among them to provide a wide range of services to users - a major difficulty is arising with the software engineering process to develop applications for these devices. This article discusses the additional parameters that should be taken into account when designing and developing software for ubiquitous devices in ad-hoc networks. In these networks the mobility of the devices could increase the complexity of the requirements to be considered. As a case study, we present a Bluetooth application that has been developed to fulfill a variety of established requirements. The application allows the creation of different types of networks for non-expert users thanks to the context aware capacity of Bluetooth.

The paper presents a new systematic analysis method in order to estimate the total absorbed power and energy in linear electric and magnetic circuits with modifiable parameters. The relation between the variation in one or all the resistances and reluctances of the networks and the variation of total absorbed power and energy are discussed using the Lagrange's method. For the considered applications the results are obtained with Mathematica and Maple useful for establishing the variation limits of absorbed power and energy.

In this paper, we consider finite-time tracking problems of a moving target by multiple mobile agents. The mobile agents with global sensing areas and limited actuation region are designed to track down a target with estimation error with the help of formation and coverage. In order to capture the target, its location and velocity are first estimated. With observer-based estimation and formation control, the group of agents can catch the target by a coverage tracking policy in finite time.
