Model Predictive Control is analyzed as a strategy for coping with the unknown, variable and non-deterministic action and measurement delays which can occur in congestion control of available-bit-rate teletraffic control for highspeed data networks. It is shown that the state-feedbackplus-estimator certainty equivalence nature of this control law is particularly amenable to coping with these de...

The statistical cumulative sum (CUSUM) chart is a powerful tool for monitoring the attribute quality variable in manufacturing industry. In this article, we studied the multiplicity problem caused by simultaneously monitoring more than one attribute quality variable. Multiple binomial and Poisson CUSUM charts incorporating a multiple hypothesis testing technique known as false discovery rate co...

Introduction: The high local control rates observed in patients with breast cancer who had been treated by modified radical mastectomy, chemotherapy and chest-wall irradiation using 120 kV X-rays (50 Gy in 25 fractions) motivated us to investigate their observed tumor control probability (TCP) and test a well-established radiobiological TCP model against our data. Mat...

This paper deals with design of a failure tolerant control system where failures are identified using the normalized coprime factorization method. The identification method employed is a closed-loop one, which is also based on coprime factorization; therefore, the method is suitable to the robust control systems. The impact of failure on the closed-loop stability is evaluated by ν-gap metric ob...

In this paper we present result from an application integrated congestion control mechanism designed for time-sensitive traffic based on the principle of direct protocol interactivity. In contrast to classical transport protocols we envision a transport mechanism, which is interactive and can provide event notification to the subscriber of its communication service. We then show a friendly adap...

The performance function of GPC algorithm is restructured as PID type. PID type GPC is designed in two cases; the first is a dual-rate (DR) system, where the sampling interval of a plant output is an integer multiple of the holding interval of a control input, and the second is a fast-rate single-rate (FR-SR) system, where both the holding and sampling intervals are equal to the holding interva...
