Due to their high power-to-weight ratio and low cost, pneumatic actuators are attractive for robotics and automation applications; however, achieving fast and accurate control of their position have been known as a complex control problem. A methodology for obtaining high position accuracy with a linear pneumatic actuator is presented. During experimentation with a number of PID classical contr...

Some CPU scheduling algorithms such as First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS), Shortest Job First (SJF), Priority, Round Robin (R-R), Multilevel Queue(MQ) and Multilevel Feedback Queue (MFQ has been elaborated and assessed on the basic CPU scheduling objectives i.e.; average waiting(AWT), average turnaround (ATT)and average response time(ART), average CPU utilization (AU)and average throughput(AT). Thes...

In this paper we study the fundamental scheduling, multiplexing and diversity trade-off in MIMO ad hoc networks. In particular, we propose a unified framework for the schedulingmultiplexing and scheduling-diversity sub-problems that constitutes a major step towards solving the overall problem. The two sub-problems are motivated by a fundamental trade-off between scheduling full multiplexing (di...

we consider a functional equation that arises in problems of scheduling with priorities and earliness/lateness penalties. We solve the equation and note how it can be used to analyze the invariance of conclusions about optimality of a schedule if the scale used to measure priority is replaced by another acceptable scale.
