A major aspect of human reasoning involves the use of approximations. Particularly in situations where the decision-making process is under stringent time constraints, decisions are based largely on approximate, qualitative assessments of the situations. Our work is concerned with the application of approximate reasoning to real-time control. Because of the stringent processing speed requiremen...

This paper proposes a simple but effective admission control algorithm for integrated services packet networks. The admission control scheme, based on stochastic control, aims at ensuring user discrimination, by enforcing different call blocking probabilities. The queueing behavior of reservations is analytically characterized in the absence of admission control. From this, call blocking probab...

The main objective of this contribution is to present a design methodology for application specific fuzzy integrated circuits. This methodology is based on an specific architecture and a user-friendly design environment which enables the specification, verification and synthesis of fuzzy systems taking into account conceptual as well as microelectronics considerations.

The development of architectures for control systems has been an active area of research for at least twenty years. This research has produced many different architectures which use different terminologies and address different issues. In order to analyse existing architectures and to determine issues that must be addressed in defining a new one, a common terminology for discussing architecture...

The SDSD-system offers state-dependent access control in distributed object systems. The system enforces protocols which declare sets of activity sequences as allowed, thereby forbidding any occurence of an activity outside the context of an allowed sequence. In this paper we conceptually extend the SDSD-system by introducing discretionary administration rights for controlling the activities of...

Using time-scale decomposition, we develop approximations to evaluate the performance of an admission control strategy for integrated services in a single UMTS radio cell. Simulation results suggest that the performance is almost insensitive to traffic parameter distributions, and is well estimated by our proposed approximations.
