Many people enjoy music daily, but in a very passive way. To more actively enjoy music, some novel musical instruments are necessary. As a candidate for a novel musical instrument, we propose a networked wearable musical instrument. This paper describes the design of the networked musical instrument as well as a prototype system. Furthermore, we demonstrate several possible novel applications o...

Networked control system (NCS) for industry process control recently has been paid much attention to. A fact that there exists networked-induced time delay in NCS, and the traditional proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers are still used broadly in industrial sites as their strong adaptability and robustness is well known. Therefore, the control engineers must face an unavoidable pr...

We model networked storage systems with distributed, cryptographically enforced file-access control in an applied pi calculus. The calculus contains cryptographic primitives and supports file-system constructs, including access revocation. We establish that the networked storage systems implement simpler, centralized storage specifications with local access-control checks. More specifically, we...

ABSTRACT In this paper, the modeling and performance analysis of Networked Control System (NCS) subject to random delays and packet losses are discussed. Stochastic control theory is used for handling the random time delay and packet losses. Stochastic optimal strategy for networked control system (NCS) is obtained with random delays and packet losses when the system matrices are known. A new s...

To deal with random delays in Networked Control System (NCS), Modified Fuzzy PID Controller is introduced in this paper to implement real-time control adaptively. Via adjusting the control signal dynamically, the system performance is improved. In this paper, the design process and the ultimate simulation results are represented. Finally, examples and corresponding comparisons prove the signifi...

This chapter investigates the cooperative control problem for a group of Lagrange systems with a target system to be tracked. The development is suitable for the case that the desired trajectory of the target node is only available to a portion of the networked systems. All the networked systems can have different dynamics. The dynamics of the networked systems, as well as the target system, ar...
