Adaptive control theory is emerging as a viable approach for the design of self-managed computer systems. This paper argues that the systems community should not be concerned with the design of adaptive controllers—there are off-the-shelf controllers that can be used to tune any system that abides by certain properties. Systems research should instead be focusing on the open problem of building...

Although it is recently introduced, in last few years, generative adversarial network (GAN) has been shown many promising results to generate realistic samples. However, it is hardly able to control generated samples since input variables for a generator are from a random distribution. Some attempts have been made to control generated samples from GAN, but they have shown moderate results. Furt...

We study the exact controllability of a nonlinear plate equation by the means of a control which acts on an internal region of the plate. The main result asserts that this system is locally exactly controllable if the associated linear Euler-Bernoulli system is exactly controllable. In particular, for rectangular domains we obtain that the Berger system is locally exactly controllable in arbitr...
