Networked Infrastructure systems deliver services and/or products from point to point along the network. Demand for the services provided by such systems is typically cyclic, creating inefficiencies in capacity utilization. Congestion pricing provides incentives to shift demand from peak time periods to lower demand periods. This effectively increases the capacity of the system without the need...

in this study, a robust controller is designed for fuzzy network control systems (ncss) using the static output feedback. delay and data packet dropout affect on the stability of network control systems, and therefore, the asymptotic stability condition is established considering delay and data packet dropout. delay is time-varying while the lower and upper bounds for delay is defined, and the ...

triple helix model (th) collaborations involving university, industry and government provide a networked infrastructure for shaping the dynamic fluxes of knowledge base of innovations locally and these fluxes remain emergent within the domains. in this article first the knowledge-based economy, national system of innovation, and three models of uig relations which represent different triple hel...

With the rapid evolution of intelligent computing and networking technology, security support is a must for the emerging networked embedded systems. As a key building block of the security infrastructure for the networked embedded systems, the design of signature schemes is one of the most critical aspects in the research field of secure networked embedded systems. In this paper, we propose a n...

1 Figure 1. Networked Infomechanical Systems (NIMS) introduces a hierarchy of fixed and mobile sensing nodes and infrastructure enabling access to complex, three dimensional environments. NIMS mobility provides novel methods for establishing self-awareness of sensing uncertainty. Further, examples of new NIMS distributed services include node transport, physical sample acquisition, energy harve...

Consensus algorithms are an important building block for fault-tolerant distributed systems. This paper investigates approaches to optimize solutions of distributed consensus to the properties of embedded systems. We discuss alternatives that allow constructing better practical solutions in realistic environments. For example, many networked embedded systems are equipped with both ad-hoc commun...
