Abstract: Abstract. Using a (homogeneous) probabilistic finite-state automaton (PFSA) model of an unsupervised plant, this paper develops optimal supervisory control systems in a setting of real-time artificial intelligence (AI), ...

Abstract: This paper presents a stochastic model of fatigue crack damage in metallic materials that are commonly encountered in structures and machinery components of complex mechanical systems (e.g., ...

Abstract: This paper presents the analytical development of a multi-level hypotheses testing algorithm and an extension of the sequential bi-level test procedure reported earlier [1]. The multi-level test ...

Abstract: The paper presents the results of an ongoing research project where the objectives are to evaluate medium access control (MAC) protocols in view of the requirements for distributed digital ...

Abstract: The paper presents the theory and application of a sequential test procedure for fault detection and isolation (FDI), The test procedure is suited for development of intelligent instrumentation ...

Abstract: One of the pertinent problems in decision and control of dynamical systems is to identify the current operational regime of the physical process under consideration. To this end, there has been an upsurge in (data-driven) ...

Abstract: Forecasting and detection of fatigue cracks play a key role in damage mitigation of mechanical structures (e.g., those made of polycrystalline alloys) to enhance their service life, and ultrasonic testing (UT) has emerged ...

Abstract: Asynchronous time-division multiplexed networks, used in Integrated Communication and Control Systems (ICCS), introduce time-varying and possibly stochastic delays in the feedback control loops. The ...

Abstract: Computer networking is a reliable and efficient means for communications between disparate and distributed components in complex dynamical processes like advanced aircraft, spacecraft, and autonomous ...
