This paper investigates the application of velocity-based gain-scheduling techniques to a demanding, highly nonlinear, missile control design task. Scheduling on instantaneous incidence (a rapidly varying quantity) is well known to lead to considerable difficulties with conventional gain-scheduling methods. Moreover, the missile dynamics do not have well-defined relative degree at operating poi...

Task graph scheduling is a multi-objective optimization and NP-hard problem. In this paper a new algorithm on homogeneous multiprocessors systems is proposed. Basically, scheduling algorithms are targeted to balance the two parameters of time and energy consumption. These two parameters are up to a certain limit in contrast with each other and improvement of one causes reduction in the othe...

One of the earliest results in flow shop scheduling theory is an algorithm given by Johnson’s [1] for scheduling jobs on two or three machines to minimize the total elapsed time whenever the processing times of jobs are random. The present paper is an attempt to develop a heuristic algorithm for two stages specially structured flow shop scheduling in which the processing times of the jobs a...

Paralleland distributed computing technique is the solution of many high performance computing requirementsin business purpose and research operations. Since parallel computing became useable numbers scheduling algorithms proposed for performance improvement and resource utilization. In this paper we consider scheduling problem for resource allocation to tasks in cluster computing. In addition ...

A hierarchical framework is proposed to address the issues of modeling different type of words in keyword spotting (KWS). Keyword models are built at various levels according to the availability of training set resources for each individual word. The proposed approach improves the performance of KWS even when no training speech is available for the keywords. It also suggests an easier way to co...

This paper deals with bumpless transfer between a number of observer-based controllers in a gain scheduling architecture. Linear observer-based controllers are designed for a number of linear approximations of a nonlinear system in a set of operating points, and gain scheduling control can subsequently be achieved by interpolating between each controller. The Youla-Jabr-Bongiorno-Kucera (YJBK) ...

abstract- efficient use of irrigation water for summer crops should be considered seriously due to rare occurrence of precipitation in summer. this research was focused on the assessment of water use efficiency for dominant crops of summer cropping pattern in the study area (i.e., maize and rice) via considering water productivity (wp) with different water management scenarios at farm level at ...

arbitrage is a known economic term, implying simultaneous transaction on commodities. for instance, a generation company (genco) may involve itself in selling fuel, emission allowance and etc., instead of generating either active or reactive power. moreover, arbitrage between active and reactive powers can, in turn, be considered. in this paper, arbitrage between active and reactive power is c...
