Physical access control systems play a central role in the protection of critical infrastructures, where both the provision of timely access and preserving the security of sensitive areas are paramount. In this paper we discuss the shortcomings of existing approaches to the administration of physical access control in complex environments. At the heart of the problem is the current dependency o...

Micro-grid control is the key technology in the process of accessing micro-grid into regular grid. This paper summarizes several ways on coordination control in micro-grid and introduces some domestic researches on micro-grid control strategies. It is written on the basis of the achievements on micro-grid control in some developed countries and current situations on domestic micro-grid control....

The aim of this work is to integrate the use of formal tools for analysis, control and synthesis of systems in mechatronic design. Besides, the work presents an integrated design approach for fluid power systems, in which the control system is conceived during the design process of the physical plant, making the global design more efficient and reliable.

One common characteristic of many Policy Support Systems (PSSs) is their dependency on the concept of hierarchy. Hierarchy does not need to be limited to a hierarchy of roles (subject centric) as in traditional Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Instead, it can be applied to other aspects of PSS such as object, environment, purpose and so on. In this paper, we propose a new generalized model for...

A simple but robust control law for the grasping manipulation of deformable objects is presented. In the handling of deformable objects, grasping and manipulation must be performed simultaneously despite uncertainties during the handling process. We will propose a control law to perform grasping and manipulation of deformable objects using a realtime vision system.
