Static task scheduling in distributed computing systems is a very complex problem and known to be NP-hard. This problem is even harder when the module execution times become probabilistic. In this paper we study the effect of probabilistic module execution times on the performance of task-scheduling algorithms. We show that in static task scheduling, for probabilistic module execution times, and in the existence of some factors there is no need to use an expensive task-scheduling algorithm. Given any two static task-scheduling algorithms that use deterministic module execution times in assigning task modules to the distributed system, the performance of these two algorithms will not remain the same when these module execution times become probabilistic rather than deterministic. We also study the effects of some factors an our results.

Object-oriented database systems aim at meeting the data modelling, performance, cooperative design and version management requirements of current advanced applications, such as CAD (computer-aided design), CAM (computer-aided manufacturing), CASE (computer-aided software engineering), CIM (computer integrated manufacturing), hypermedia and expert systems. This paper presents the ALEX Object Manager, which is a part of the ALEX object-oriented database management system that is being developed based on the ODMG-93 standard. The system decomposition and process layout are presented, some implementation problems are discussed and the current status of the system is reported.

In this paper is presented a new approach to robust non-linear control design, which can guarantee a prescribed decay rate of exponential stability for known system uncertainties. The proposed approach doesn’t employ matching conditions. The non-linear power system with deterministic uncertainties is chosen as demonstration example.

This paper presents a model-based approach to fault detection of dynamic systems, which is robust to unmodeled dynamics. A “Quasi-ARMAX model᾿ is first proposed for describing nonlinear systems by incorporating a group of certain nonlinear structures into a linear ARMAX structure. The model can be used for a best linear approximation of the system, as well as for the estimation of resulting unmodeled dynamics, by a hierarchical implementation of recursive identification. Then robust fault detection is performed based on thresholding approach using Kullback discrimination information as fault detection index, in which the estimated unmodeled dynamics is incorporated.

This research is concerned with fault detection of nonlinear systems using Kullback discrimination information (KDI) as an index. A hybrid quasi-ARMAX model is proposed, which combines a linear ARMAX model and a multi-ARX-model based on interpolation. In the case where the faults occur on the ARMAX model part, a KDI-based "robust" fault detection is performed, in which multi-ARX-model part is treated as error due to nonlinear undermodeling. In other cases, the model is transformed into several local ARMAX models and fault detection is performed by using the KDI to discriminate each identified local model. In this paper, we mainly concentrate our discussion on the latter cases.

The paper focuses on the speed control of stepping motors in a closed-loop configuration. An incremental optical encoder is used as the position transducer, allowing the achievement of a minor loop. The numerical control algorithm is implemented using an IBM PC together with a specialized interface for stepper motors. The solution was obtained in two steps: the first was a nonlinear control law and the second was the improvement of the first one by using a PI part.

This paper presents a method for Stepper Motor (SM) speed control by means of a minor loop. The compatibility of the SM with the digital electronics allowed a PC to be used for implementing the control algorithm, the SM control being achieved by two hardware interface levels. The SM command is realized with two specialized circuits: L297 (SM controller) and L298N (driver). The control signals for this level are generated through a parallel port 18255 and a programmable timer 18253. Some other circuits complete the microprocessor interface. The software has the following tasks: speed measurement and control algorithm achievement of a PI type. To tune this controller the system characteristics are measured, when the system is unstable, having a relay instead of the PI part. There are treated aspects on choosing the sample period, the position transducer, and the type of speed measurement.

A new matrix rule-based model of discrete-part discrete event systems is given that, together with the well-known Petri net marking transition equation, yields a complete matrix-based dynamical description of these systems. In this application to deadlock analysis, the exact relations between circular blockings and deadlocks are given for a large class of reentrant flow lines. Explicit matrix equations are given for online dynamic deadlock analysis in terms of circular blockings, and certain 'critical siphons' and 'critical subsystems'. This allows efficient dispatching with deadlock avoidance using a generalized kanban scheme. For the class of flow lines considered, the existence of matrix formulae shows that deadlock analysis is not NP-complete, but of polynomial complexity.

The reason for the present upsurge of interest in intelligent control is that the present generation of control systems are incapable, to a greater or lesser extent, of dealing with problems of a certain complexity. Fortunately, the human operator (HO) is often expert in keeping the complex control systems on the right track. In this paper a method for controller design has been investigated based on a concept of developing a mathematical model for HO behaviour. The method treats HO behaviour as a dynamic process by itself, transformed from the unknown dynamics of the ship to be controlled. The method of controller design entails observing the human controller, constructing a model of the human controller, and using that model as a basis for an automaticcontrol system. During the observation phase the HO controls the ship and the data representing the state of the ship and human actions are registered. During the modelling phase, a human operator behaviour model (HOBM) is constructed as a neural network and its parameters are estimated. During the testing phase, the HOBM controls the ship and its performance is evaluated under the observation phase conditions and completely different conditions. The method has been successfully applied using computer simulation for the ship steering problem.

This paper presents a robust fault detection system (FDS) for dynamic systems with unmodeled dynamics. In the FDS, umnodeled dynamics is first qualified as soft bound, which as well as model parameters are estimated using a robust identification algorithm. Then as a fault detection index, Kullback discrimination information (KDI) is derived into a feasible form and an index of umnodeled dynamics is also introduced. A decision making scheme is thus developed so that fault detection is carried out based on the KDI, the index of umnodeled dynamics and other prior information about the system.
