Actor-critic reinforcement learning algorithms have shown to be a successful tool in learning the optimal control for a range of (repetitive) tasks on systems with (partially) unknown dynamics, which may or may not be nonlinear. Most of the reinforcement learning literature published up to this point only deals with modeling the task at hand as a Markov decision process with an infinite horizon cost function. In practice, however, it is sometimes desired to have a solution for the case where the cost function is defined over a finite horizon, which means that the optimal control problem will be time-varying and thus harder to solve. This paper adapts two previously introduced actor-critic algorithms from the infinite horizon setting to the finite horizon setting and applies them to learning a task on a nonlinear system, without needing any assumptions or knowledge about the system dynamics, using radial basis function networks. Simulations on a typical nonlinear motion control problem are carried out, showing that actor-critic algorithms are capable of solving the difficult problem of time-varying optimal control. Moreover, the benefit of using a model learning technique is shown.

As life science progress and its consequences provide human life necessities, controlling these kinds of processes has recently become very important. Unfortunately because of including delay and nonlinear behavior of micro-organisms these processes have nonlinear time varying model and so controlling them is too complicated. These nonlinear dynamics are too slow and so it is possible to linearize the model step by step and apply control signal to the local linearized models. In this paper we design a model predictive controller for each linearized model at time unit and as a result a nonlinear time varying system has been controlled properly. As these localized models are open loop unstable, we have to use close loop paradigm also due to its numerically robustness. Finally result has validated with experimental values and reliability of this approach has been exposed.

Today the importance of life science and its related processes are undeniable. Modeling and control of these kind of processes are too complicate because of existence of delay in growth and also nonlinear behavior of micro-organisms. Model predictive control is one of the most popular advanced controlling strategies in this industry, however its dependence on accurate model for predicting future input and output values is limitating. If there is a way that could predict the future values of the process properly, it is possible to overcome to the existing challenges. In this paper we design a model free predictive controller by using a trained recurrent neural network as a predictor for prediction stage at MPC and using GA for solving the associated optimization problem that result the optimal control signal sequence.

Nowadays, private clouds are widely used for resource sharing. Hadoop-based clusters are the most popular implementations for private clouds. However, because workload traces are not publicly available, few previous work compares and evaluates different cloud solutions with publicly available benchmarks. In this paper, we use a recently-released Cloud benchmarks suite - CloudRank-D to quantitatively evaluate five different Hadoop task schedulers, including FIFO, capacity, naïve fair sharing, fair sharing with delay, and HOD (Hadoop On Demand) scheduling. Our experiments show that with an appropriate scheduler, the throughput of a private cloud can be improved by 20%.

Quantum random-number generators (QRNGs) can offer a means to generate information-theoretically provable random numbers, in principle. In practice, unfortunately, the quantum randomness is inevitably mixed with classical randomness due to classical noises. To distill this quantum randomness, one needs to quantify the randomness of the source and apply a randomness extractor. Here, we propose a generic framework for evaluating quantum randomness of real-life QRNGs by min-entropy, and apply it to two different existing quantum random-number systems in the literature. Moreover, we provide a guideline of QRNG data postprocessing for which we implement two information-theoretically provable randomness extractors: Toeplitz-hashing extractor and Trevisan's extractor.

The security proofs of continuous-variable quantum key distribution are based on the assumptions that the eavesdropper can neither act on the local oscillator nor control Bob's beam splitter. These assumptions may be invalid in practice due to potential imperfections in the implementations of such protocols. In this paper, we consider the problem of transmitting the local oscillator in a public channel and propose a wavelength attack which allows the eavesdropper to control the intensity transmission of Bob's beam splitter by switching the wavelength of the input light. Specifically we target continuous-variable quantum key distribution systems that use the heterodyne detection protocol using either direct or reverse reconciliation. Our attack is proved to be feasible and renders all of the final keys shared between the legitimate parties insecure, even if they have monitored the intensity of the local oscillator. To prevent our attack on commercial systems, a simple wavelength filter should be randomly added before performing monitoring detection.
