A Novel Distributed Optimal Adaptive Control Algorithm for Nonlinear Multi-Agent Differential Graphical Games

In this paper, an online optimal distributed learning algorithm is proposed to solve leader-synchronization problem of nonlinear multi-agent differential graphical games. Each player approximates its optimal control policy using a single-network approximate dynamic programming (ADP) where only one critic neural network (NN) is employed instead of typical actorcritic structure composed of two NNs. The proposed distributed weight tuning laws for critic NNs guarantee stability in the sense of uniform ultimate boundedness (UUB) and convergence of control policies to the Nash equilibrium. In this paper, by introducing novel distributed local operators in weight tuning laws, there is no more requirement for initial stabilizing control policies. Furthermore, the overall closed-loop system stability is guaranteed by Lyapunov stability analysis. Finally, Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Distributed adaptive output feedback tracking control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems

This paper addresses the distributed output feedback tracking control problem for multi-agent systems with higher order nonlinear non-strict-feedback dynamics and directed communication graphs. The existing works usually design a distributed consensus controller using all the states of each agent, which are often immeasurable, especially in nonlinear systems. In this paper, based only on the relative output between itself and its neighbours, a distributed adaptive consensus control law is proposed for each agent using the backstepping technique and approximation technique of Fourier series (FS) to solve the output feedback tracking control problem of multi-agent systems. The FS structure is taken not only for tracking the unknown nonlinear dynamics but also the unknown derivatives of virtual controllers in the controller design procedure, which can therefore prevent virtual controllers from containing uncertain terms. The projection algorithm is applied to ensure that the estimated parameters remain in some known bounded sets. Lyapunov stability analysis shows that the proposed control law can guarantee that the output of each agent synchronises to the leader with bounded residual errors and that all the signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded. Simulation results have verified the performance and feasibility of the proposed distributed adaptive control strategy.     

Adaptive fault‐tolerant control for a nonlinear flexible aircraft wing system

Fault‐tolerant control problems have been extensively studied in all kinds of control systems. However, there is little work on fault‐tolerant control for distributed parameter systems. In this paper, a novel adaptive fault‐tolerant boundary control scheme is proposed for a nonlinear flexible aircraft wing system against actuator faults. The whole system is regarded as a distributed parameter system, and the dynamic model of the flexible wing system is described by a set of partial differential equations (PDEs) and ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The proposed controller is designed by using the Lyapunov's direct method and adaptive control strategies. Based on the online estimation of actuator faults, the adaptive controller parameters can update automatically to compensate the actuator faults of the system. Besides, a fault‐tolerant controller is also developed for this system in the presence of external disturbances. Differing from existing works about adaptive fault‐tolerant control, the adaptive controller presented in this paper is designed for a distributed parameter system. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Guaranteed cost control of distributed parameter networked control systems with time‐varying delay

Distributed parameter networked control systems mean distributed parameter systems are controlled through a network, where the control loops are closed. In this paper, the problem of guaranteed cost and state feedback controller design is investigated for a class of distributed parameter networked control systems. With the network factors, such as transmission delays, data packet dropouts considered, the distributed parameter networked control system is modeled as a linear closed‐loop system with time‐varying delay and uncertain parameters. By selecting an appropriate Lyapunov‐Krasovskii function and using linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, the controller is designed to render the system stable and it can keep the cost function less than a certain upper value. In addition, numerical simulation is included to demonstrate the theoretical results.

在分布式系统中,不同的计算机系统之间经常要进行资源的互相访问,由此而带来的安全性问题与通常环境下的安全问题有比较大的不同,比如通常访问控制一般有一个中央主机来控制系统的安全策略和进行用户认证、访问控制等相关安全性检验工作,但是在分布式异构系统中往往并不存在这样的一个统一的安全控制中心。那么当一个系统中的用户或计算机要访问另一个系统的资源时,如何进行相关的安全控制保护呢?在论文中,首先分析了用传统访问控制方法来实现分布式资源互访的缺点,然后讨论了如何利用基于角色的访问控制(RBAC)来实现分布式系统中的资源共享。     

Nash-based robust distributed model predictive control for large-scale systems

In this paper, a new robust distributed model predictive control (RDMPC) is proposed for large-scale systems with polytopic uncertainties. The time-varying system is first decomposed into several interconnected subsystems. Interactions between subsystems are obtained by a distributed Kalman filter, in which unknown parameters of the system are estimated using local measurements and measurements of neighboring subsystems that are available via a network. Quadratic boundedness is used to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system. In the MPC algorithm, an output feedback-interaction feedforward control input is computed by an LMI-based optimization problem that minimizes an upper bound on the worst case value of an infinite-horizon objective function. Then, an iterative Nash-based algorithm is presented to achieve the overall optimal solution of the whole system in partially distributed fashion. Finally, the proposed distributed MPC approach is applied to a load frequency control (LFC) problem of a multi-area power network to study the efficiency and applicability of the algorithm in comparison with the centralized, distributed and decentralized MPC schemes.     

Interconnection of CAN segments through IEEE 802.16 wireless MAN

The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a high-performance and highly reliable advanced serial communication protocol, which efficiently supports distributed real-time control. CAN-based distributed control systems have generally two main problems that are the size of distributed area and the need for communication with other LANs and with remote CAN segments. A straightforward solution is to use internetworking devices with wireless support to extend CAN segments. In this paper, a new solution to interconnect CAN segments is proposed, which uses a wireless MAN based on the IEEE 802.16 standard as a backbone system. Also, the solution describing a model for internetworking unit integrates the traffic generated by CAN segments into IEEE 802.16 wireless MAN using encapsulation technique.     

Efficient parallel coordinate descent algorithm for convex optimization problems with separable constraints: Application to distributed MPC

In this paper we propose a parallel coordinate descent algorithm for solving smooth convex optimization problems with separable constraints that may arise, e.g. in distributed model predictive control (MPC) for linear network systems. Our algorithm is based on block coordinate descent updates in parallel and has a very simple iteration. We prove (sub)linear rate of convergence for the new algorithm under standard assumptions for smooth convex optimization. Further, our algorithm uses local information and thus is suitable for distributed implementations. Moreover, it has low iteration complexity, which makes it appropriate for embedded control. An MPC scheme based on this new parallel algorithm is derived, for which every subsystem in the network can compute feasible and stabilizing control inputs using distributed and cheap computations. For ensuring stability of the MPC scheme, we use a terminal cost formulation derived from a distributed synthesis. Preliminary numerical tests show better performance for our optimization algorithm than other existing methods.     

Improving communication latency with the write-only architecture

This paper introduces a novel execution paradigm called the Write-Only Architecture (WOA) that reduces communication latency overheads by up to a factor of five over previous methods. The WOA writes data through distributed control flow logic rather than using a read–write paradigm or a centralised message hub which allows tasks to be partitioned at a fine-grained level without suffering from excessive communication overheads on distributed systems. In this paper we provide formal assignment results for software benchmarks partitioned using the WOA and previous execution paradigms for distributed heterogeneous architectures along with bounds and complexity information to demonstrate the robust performance improvements possible with the WOA.

Distributed manufacturing execution systems: A workflow perspective

Research of manufacturing execution systems (MESs) has been conducted to integrate ERP and physical operational systems, so a fully automated and integrated manufacturing management environment can be developed. However, as subcontracting becomes common in industries, a single MES is not enough and it is necessary to develop distributed MESs to integrate the distributed operations. This research proposes a distributed workflow model to develop such a system. In the workflow model, there are three cooperation types for defining the relationships between an action and resources. Six relational patterns are defined for the relationships between actions. This research also reviews current information technologies, including data acquisition and control (DAC) components, control software's, ASP .NET, and CLIPS, for supporting the development of distributed workflow models. Additionally, this research proposes using a collaborative workflow-based protocol (CWP) to form a distributed workflow. CWP is based on the integration of Internet technology and CLIPS. It is found that the proposed structure may ease the decision process of forming a distributed workflow. In summary, this article reports a cutting edge approach for the development of distributed manufacturing execution systems. The results show solutions for integrating high-level planning systems, such as ERP, and low-level operational systems through information technologies.

Development of remote control and monitoring of web-based distributed OPC system

This paper focuses on implementing remote control and monitoring of a web-based distributed OLE for Process Control (OPC) system. Remote monitoring and control of OPC-based systems realized at N different local control points on the Internet are achieved by using a distributed OPC (DOPC) architecture. In this proposed architecture, every local control center can control and monitor every other control point. DOPC architecture is developed by using an OPC standard created for the automation industry. This OPC was developed as an industrial standard using Microsoft's Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) technology. OPC enables different control devices to communicate with each other by exchanging data. This proposed architecture permits different OPC-based process control architectures from a wide range of fields to communicate with each other. Thus, OPC-based local control systems located in different places can communicate with each other on the Internet without using bus architecture. The basic functions of the proposed system were implemented using the Delphi software package. Local control architectures developed at N points can communicate with each other and a remote control point on a dynamic web page constructed using Active Server Pages (ASP). Consequently, the proposed DOPC architecture allows the user to control and monitor local systems from any location with internet access, and to implement data exchange between N OPC points.
