In recent years numerous researchers have proposed a wide variety of approaches to incorporate security concerns into software design. Unfortunately a systematic literature review (SLR) providing a detailed overview of the state of the art and defining interesting research opportunities is lacking. This creates an extra barrier for (new) researchers to enter the domain and contribute to it. We ...

An economic optimization study of a pulp and paper mill is presented. Costs and revenues associated with all unit operations are identified to formulate a suitable objective function. The existing control structure of the pulp mill is analyzed and used to develop an optimization-relevant model through a series of step tests. This model is then used with the objective function and the informatio...

the aim of this study is to provide a control software system, based on monte carlo simulation, and calculations of dosimetric parameters of standard and wedge radiation fi elds, using a monte carlo method. gate version 6.1 (opengate collaboration), was used to simulate a compact 6 mv linear accelerator system. in order to accelerate the calculations, the phase-space technique and cluster compu...

Despite the widely held view that systems are more likely to be successful if users contribute during systems design and development, the exact nature of the relationship between user participation and system outcomes remains unclear. By conducting a systematic review of the related literature, we synthesized the findings of 46 empirical studies, explained the mixed results, and identified issu...

Will reading habit influence your life? Many say yes. Reading cooperative control design a systematic passivity based approach is a good habit; you can develop this habit to be such interesting way. Yeah, reading habit will not only make you have any favourite activity. It will be one of guidance of your life. When reading has become a habit, you will not make it as disturbing activities or as ...

The efficient development of high performance control is becoming more important and more challenging with ever tightening emissions legislation and increasingly complex engines. Many traditional industrial control design techniques have difficulty in addressing multivariable interactions among subsystems and are becoming a bottleneck in terms of development time. In this article we explore the...

The missile autopilot was designed using linear parameter-varying (LPV) control techniques. The controller provides exponential stability guarantee and performance bound in terms of induced L2 norm for the missile plant. The systematic gain-scheduling approach is motivated by the recent development in LPV control theory and provides a well founded and systematic procedure for high performance m...
