The paper presents the design and implementation of an innovative Integrated Development Environment, developed within the on-going European Research Project TORERO, to model and design reusable distributed control systems (DCS). This project proposes an architecture which relies on a development environment based on the Eclipse tool and the emerging standard IEC 61499 and on a suitable control...

this paper presents a cooperative control which is applied to the secondary control of a microgrid controlled via a multi-agent scheme. balancing power that leads to voltage and frequency stability in a microgrid is essential. the voltage and frequency regulations are limiting within the specified limits and conveying them to their nominal values. limiting and conveying the voltage and frequenc...

In this paper we describe a coverage-guided test generation tool for hybrid systems. The tool has been successfully applied to a number of case studies in control systems and in analog and mixed-signal

background hiv/aids and tuberculosis (tb) are major contributors to the burden of disease in sub-saharan africa. the two diseases have been described as a harmful synergy as they are biologically and epidemiologically linked. control of tb/hiv co-infection is an integral and most challenging part of both national tb and national hiv control programmes, especially in contexts of instability wher...

This study aims at integrating system identification for robust control with process control. We consider linear systems where the parameters normally vary slowly, but which may exhibit sudden and large changes. One example of such a system is an extruder where the parameters vary slowly e.g. due to temperature changes, and where the die sometimes is changed, leading to sudden and large changes...
