A nonlinear tracking controller is presented in this paper for the haptic interface in steer-by-wire automotive systems. Specifically, the controller is designed to ensure that the steering mechanism (i.e., directional control assembly) follows the operator corn-rnanded maneuvers at the driver interface. Further, the controller provides the driver with tunable force feedback , proportional to t...

Optimal linear predictors can be utilised in ABR control algorithms for the management of self-similar network traffic. However, estimates of the Hurst parameter are required to generate these predictors, and uncertainity in these estimates results in a potential mismatch of the predictors to the traffic. When mismatched congestion control algorithms are used within the network, the impact on t...

1. INTRODUCTION: Set theory as a branch of human endeavour was developed by the efforts of many mathematicians [ Kam ]. Such a theory found many applications in science, technology and other fields. In an effort to capture uncertainity in human reasoning, Zadeh formulated and studied the theory of fuzzy sets. The theory of fuzzy sets found applications in many branches of science and technology...

A CSTR is an Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor with the main function of agitation and to achieve constant composition. It has an important role in chemical process plants. A CSTR has an higher degree of nonlinearity when compared with other chemical reactors, this is mainly due to the temperature variations that occur because of uncertainity in feed. Hence, temperature control is a strenuous t...

Assuming that there are two sources (e.g. les), which consist of records with diierent informations about some units like people. We want to fusion the information (data) that belong to the same units. Very often in practice no identiication numbers | like the Social Security Number SSN | are available at both les, that's why there is some uncertainity, which records belong together. Anyway, we...

In this paper, we develop two models for the valuation of information technology (IT) investment projects using the real options approach. The IT investment projects discussed in this paper are categorized into development and acquisition projects, depending upon the time it takes to start benefiting from the IT asset once the decision to invest has been taken. The models account for uncertaint...
