Decentralized control: Status and outlook

This paper reviews state of the art in the area of decentralized networked control systems with an emphasis on event-triggered approach. The models or agents with the dynamics of linear continuous-time time-invariant state-space systems are considered. They serve for the framework for network phenomena within two basic structures. The I/O-oriented systems as well as the interaction-oriented systems with disjoint subsystems are distinguished. The focus is laid on the presentation of recent decentralized control design and co-design methods which offer effective tools to overcome specific difficulties caused mainly by network imperfections. Such side-effects include communication constraints, variable sampling, time-varying transmission delays, packet dropouts, and quantizations. Decentralized time-triggered methods are briefly discussed. The review is deals mainly with decentralized event-triggered methods. Particularly, the stabilizing controller–observer event-based controller design as well as the decentralized state controller co-design are presented within the I/O-oriented structures of large scale complex systems. The sampling instants depend in this case only on a local information offered by the local feedback loops. Minimum sampling time conditions are discussed. Special attention is focused on interaction-oriented system architecture. Model-based approach combined with event-based state feedback controller design is presented, where the event thresholds are fully decentralized. Finally, several selected open decentralized control problems are briefly offered as recent research challenges.     

An FAR-SW based approach for webpage information extraction

Automatically identifying and extracting the target information of a webpage, especially main text, is a critical task in many web content analysis applications, such as information retrieval and automated screen reading. However, compared with typical plain texts, the structures of information on the web are extremely complex and have no single fixed template or layout. On the other hand, the amount of presentation elements on web pages, such as dynamic navigational menus, flashing logos, and a multitude of ad blocks, has increased rapidly in the past decade. In this paper, we have proposed a statistics-based approach that integrates the concept of fuzzy association rules (FAR) with that of sliding window (SW) to efficiently extract the main text content from web pages. Our approach involves two separate stages. In Stage 1, the original HTML source is pre-processed and features are extracted for every line of text; then, a supervised learning is performed to detect fuzzy association rules in training web pages. In Stage 2, necessary HTML source preprocessing and text line feature extraction are conducted the same way as that of Stage 1, after which each text line is tested whether it belongs to the main text by extracted fuzzy association rules. Next, a sliding window is applied to segment the web page into several potential topical blocks. Finally, a simple selection algorithm is utilized to select those important blocks that are then united as the detected topical region (main texts). Experimental results on real world data show that the efficiency and accuracy of our approach are better than existing Document Object Model (DOM)-based and Vision-based approaches.     

Fault-tolerant shortest connection topology design for formation control

This paper studies the fault tolerant formation keeping problem of multi-agent systems with consideration of shortest connection topology. This is motivated by the requirement of low communication cost which largely depends on the communication length. Given a formation shape, a connection topology design method and its reconfiguration strategy are proposed in the sense that the whole connection path is shortest despite of communication faults. A control framework that combines the individual formation controller of each agent and connection topology is further presented. The stability of the whole system process is analyzed by switched system theories. Simulation results of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

基于位置范围的道路网skyline查询

随着无线通信和定位技术的发展,道路网skyline查询在基于位置的服务等方面越来越重要。考虑到现今道路网中位置隐私保护和定位设备的精度问题,用户在道路网上的位置通常用一个范围来表示。但是,已有的道路网skyline研究都是基于单一查询点。针对这一问题,研究了一种新的查询——基于位置范围的道路网skyline查询(RNS),提出了一种基于边界点替换的有效查询处理算法。另外,针对已有的道路网skyline查询中复杂的道路网距离计算对查询效率的影响问题,通过计算兴趣点在道路网上的有效skyline路段,将其与道路网信息融合,建立了道路网skyline模型。基于该模型设计了一种能有效支持RNS查询的道路网skyline索引SSR-tree,提出了基于索引的RNS查询处理算法。通过大量实验验证了所提方法的有效性,并比较了基于索引的算法在查询效率和精度上的提高。
