Wang Liang (Department of Control Science and Control Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, WuHan, 430074, P.R.China, E-mail: [email protected]) [Abstract] Climate modification measures to counteract global warming receive some more new attentions in these years. Most current researches only discuss the impact of these measures to climate, but how to design such a clima...

In this work we present a novel control design methodology for under-actuated mechanical systems. As part of the design process we use the reachability analysis tool d/dt [ABDM99,D00] to see whether there is a switching sequence which can drive the system to a desired periodic orbit. Much of the work in the design of the control law is done manually using classical control techniques (unlike th...

This paper deals with the necessity of changing the current approach to teaching mathematics and new, fuzzy control based models in higher education in engineer training, mainly based on the experiences gained at the Polytechnical Engineering College of Subotica.

This paper presents LABNET, an internet-based remote laboratory for control engineering education developed at UEM-University. At present, the remote lab integrates three basic physical systems (level control, temperature control and ship stabilizing system). In this paper, the LABNET architecture is presented and discussed in detail. Issues concerned with local or remote feedback, automatic re...

Microarray technologies, which enable the simultaneous measurement of all RNA transcripts in a cell, have spawned the development of algorithms for reverse-engineering transcription control networks. In this article, we classify the algorithms into two general strategies: physical modeling and influence modeling. We discuss the biological and computational principles underlying each strategy, a...

Formal security models have significantly improved the understanding of access control systems. They have influenced the way access control policies are specified and analyzed, and they provide a sound foundation for a policy’s implementation. While their merits are many, designing security models is not an easy task, and their use in commercial systems is still far from everyday practice. This...

In this paper, we report on the application of i* to the combined capture of control system and software requirements in the context of software-intensive controllers for engines in the automotive domain. Our work has revealed the need to explicitly represent concrete domain knowledge. Revolving around the notion of “domain models”, several contributions have been made: a domain model-based app...
