This paper presents a method of enhancing the execution time of a processor in implementing signal processing and control algorithms, through a process of minimisation of memory access time of the processor. The method is based on the design and corresponding software coding of an algorithm, and thus can be adopted for a variety of real-timesignal processing and control applications. The finite difference simulation algorithm ofa flexible beam is considered to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The algorithm is implemented on a general-purpose computing platform, and a comparative performance evaluation of the processor with the proposed method is presented and discussed.

Repetitive processes are a distinct class of 2D systems of both practical and theoretical interest. We use work in behavioral theory for nD linear systems to characterize poles for the case of so-called discrete linear repetitive processes. A unique feature is that the resulting poles lead to a physically based interpretation of stability for these processes.

The emergence of intelligent control has seen a focus of attention on the ideas of learning control. This paper introduces the current state of the art in the area of iterative learning control (ILC). Together with a general description of the problems that must be addressed, the paper explores the relationship between the performance of learning algorithms and the structure of the system to be controlled. The importance of system's relative degree (pole-zero excess) and the system's zeros are described and the role of prediction in improving performance is stated.

Repetitive processes are a distinct class of 2D systems of both practical and theoretical interest. Their essential characteristic is repeated sweeps, termed passes, through a set of dynamics defined over a finite duration with explicit interaction between the outputs, or pass profiles, produced as the process dynamics evolve. Experience has shown that these processes cannot be studied/controlled by direct application of existing theory. This fact, and the growing list of applications areas, has prompted an ongoing research programme into the development of a 'mature' systems theory for these processes for onward translation into reliable generally applicable controller design algorithms. This paper develops stability tests for a sub-class of so-called differential linear repetitive processes in the presence of a general set of initial conditions, where it is known that the structure of these conditions is critical to their stability properties.

Inflight parameter identification of aircraft flight dynamics is considered in this paper in the context of an ice management system. In particular, an H ∞ parameter identification algorithm is evaluated in terms of detecting an aircraft icing event when only a noisy state measurement is available. While previous studies have addressed identification during a pilot-induced maneuver, taking advantage of the excitation due to input, this paper addresses identification during cruise, where excitation is provided only by unknown disturbances due to turbulence. Simulation results show that for moderate turbulence levels, the H ∞ algorithm provides a timely and unambiguous icing indication.

Linear repetitive processes are a distinct class of 2D linear systems of both theoretical and practical interest. The stability theory for these processes currently consists of two distinct concepts termed asymptotic stability and stability along the pass respectively where the former is a necessary condition for the latter. Recently applications have arisen where asymptotic stability is too weak and stability along the pass is too strong for meaningful progress to be made. This paper develops the concept of strong practical stability for such cases.

Combining position and force control is highly desirable in many robot applications. Many years of extensive research has resulted in a number of promising control approaches, but often too much engineering effort is required in order to evaluate a low level (high performance) control scheme on a real manipulator. The new control system we have obtained has two main advantages: first it provides a total open control architecture, and second it is the simplicity and the interactivity of the platform developed. Using this new control architecture, any force and motion control strategy can be programmed and implemented in a graphical and easy way.

In many embedded control system applications, the control algorithm includes both logical and data flow portions. We apply formal methods of system verification to discrete-state algorithms. Specifically, we make use of a formal model checking tool to prove or disprove various properties of the algorithm. Questions pertaining to the achievability of states and paths and proper variable assignment are cast as logical assertions in computation tree logic (CTL), and evaluated using the model checker. In addition, we describe an approach for generating scenarios; that is, a sequence of inputs and parameters that will take a discrete-state system model through a given sequence. We present several examples illustrating various questions that the designer may wish to pose, and an appropriate CTL assertion for each.
