Introduction The use of technology is an important factor in the organisation of our society. When we speak of a model for the future society we often use the term the information society or the networked society. Information society and network society are not new concepts but have existed for many years (Machlup, 1962 and Nora & Minc, 1980). The reason that these definitions are on the agenda...

In this paper‎, ‎a synthesis method based on robust model predictive control is developed for compensation of uncertain time-delays in networked control systems with bounded disturbance‎. ‎The proposed method uses linear matrix inequalities and uncertainty polytope to model uncertain time-delays and system disturbances‎. ‎The continuous system with time-delay is discretized using uncertainty po...

Parallel computing is a topic of interest for a broad scientific community since it facilitates many time-consuming algorithms in different application domains.In this paper, we introduce a novel platform for parallel computing by using MPI and OpenMP programming languages based on set of networked PCs. UMZHPC is a free Linux-based parallel computing infrastructure that has been developed to cr...

Networked systems often consist of inter-dependent subsystems that are governed by locally determined heterogeneous preferences or policies. Examples include interdomain routing, peer-to-peer storage, and decentralised security systems. This dissertation introduces a notion called dispute — a cyclic structure that underlies the dependence and preferences of subsystems. Disputes may cause advers...

Connecting a complex control system with various sensors, actuators, and controllers as a networked control system by a shared data network can effectively reduce complicated wiring connections. This system is also easy to install and maintain. The recent trend is to use networked control systems for time-sensitive applications, such as remote dc motor actuation control. The performance of a ne...

In this paper, fault detection of networked control systems with random delays, packet dropout and noises is studied. The filter is designed using a minimum error entropy criterion. The residual generated by the filter is then evaluated to detect faults in networked control systems. An illustrative networked control system is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
