Predicting temporal centrality in Opportunistic Mobile Social Networks based on social behavior of people

Predicting the centrality of nodes is a significant problem for different applications in Opportunistic Mobile Social Networks (OMSNs). However, when calculating such metrics, current studies focused on analyzing static networks that do not change over time or using aggregated contact information over a period of time. Furthermore, the centrality measured in the past is not verified whether it is useful as a predictor for the future. In this paper, in order to capture the dynamic behavior of people, we focus on predicting nodes’ future centrality (importance) from the temporal perspective using real mobility traces in OMSNs. Three important centrality metrics, namely betweenness, closeness, and degree centrality, are considered. Through real trace-driven simulations, we find that nodes’ future centrality is highly predictable due to natural social behavior of people. Then, based on the observations in the simulation, we design several reasonable prediction methods to predict nodes’ future temporal centrality. Finally, extensive real trace-driven simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of our proposed methods. The results show that the Recent Weighted Average Method performs best in the MIT Reality trace, and the recent Uniform Average Method performs best in the Infocom 06 trace. Furthermore, we also evaluate the impact of parameters m and w on the performance of the proposed methods and find proper values of different parameters for each proposed method at the same time.

Switching adaptive learning control for nonlinearly parameterized systems with disturbance of unknown periods

In this paper, a logic‐based switching adaptive learning control mechanism is proposed for a class of nonlinearly parameterized systems with disturbance of unknown periods. The switching algorithms include two parts: one is to stabilize the nonlinearly parameterized uncertainties, the other is to learn the periodic bounded disturbance. An adaptive control method with fully saturated periodic adaptation law is presented to take advantage of the periodic and bounded property of the disturbance. It is shown that under the proposed control designs, the asymptotic convergence is ensured irrespective of initial conditions with all the signals in the closed‐loop system bounded. An illustrative example is given to show the validity of the switching adaptive learning control. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On ADRC for non-minimum phase systems: canonical form selection and stability conditions

Active disturbance rejection control (ADRC), as proposed by Prof. Jingqing Han, reduces first the plant dynamics to its canonical form, normally in the form of cascade integrators, for which the standard controller can be employed to meet the design specifications. This paper concerns with the selection of the canonical form for non-minimum phase systems. In particular, it is shown that, by employing the well known controllable canonical form, the uncertainties of such systems can be divided into two terms in the state space model, one in the control channel and the other in the output channel. The necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the stability of the closed-loop system with the proposed canonical form and ADRC. Also, by showing the necessity of the detectability of the extended system as well as certain information of the systemˉs “zeros”, we present the fundamental guidelines of design ADRC for non-minimum phase uncertain systems.     

A yield-enhanced global optimization methodology for analog circuit based on extreme value theory

The challenge in variation-aware circuit optimization with consideration of yield is the trade-off between optimized performance, yield and optimization runtime. This paper presents a practical variationaware circuit global optimization framework named GOYE, which shows the advantages on performance, yield and runtime. It uses an approach called constraint violation elimination (CVE) in global search phase to prune initial starting points and uses the gradient-based method in local search to locate optimum. The worst-case analysis (WCA), which is necessary for variation-aware circuit optimization, is nested in the local optimization process. The efficiency is significantly improved by a novel method based on extreme value theory (EVT). Our EVT-based method is also the first one that allows users to control the target yield such that under-design or over-design can be avoided. A design example in TSMC 65 nm technology is illustrated in the paper where all performance achieves three-sigma yield with consideration of environmental and inter-die/intra-die process variations.     

Leader-following consensus for uncertain second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems

This paper studies the leader-following consensus problem for a class of second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems subject to linearly parameterized uncertainty and disturbance. The problem is solved by integrating the adaptive control technique and the adaptive distributed observer method. The design procedure is illustrated by an example with a group of Van der Pol oscillators as the followers and a harmonic system as the leader.
