Technological advancements in communication and embedded computing lead to the increasing application of decentralized structures in automation and control. The decentralization a...
This paper describes an autonomic machine control system applied to the adaptive control of a modular soldering machine. The particular case concerns the creation of a novel modul...
A cyber-character is a kind of artificial life inhabiting a virtual world. To be a life form in the virtual world, cyber characters need sensors and control systems. The sensor sy...
Abstract. A self-triggered control task is one in which the task determines its next release time. It has been conjectured that self-triggering can relax the requirements on a real...
