Analysis and Design of Markov Jump Systems with Complex Transition Probabilities (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control #54)
by Peng Shi Lixian Zhang Ting Yang Yanzheng ZhuThe bookaddresses the control issues such as stability analysis, control synthesis andfilter design of Markov jump systems with the above three types of TPs, andthus is mainly divided into three parts. Part I studies the Markov jump systemswith partially unknown TPs. Different methodologies with different conservatismfor the basic stability and stabilization problems are developed and compared. Then the problems of state estimation, the control of systems with time-varyingdelays, the case involved with both partially unknown TPs and uncertain TPs ina composite way are also tackled. Part II deals with the Markov jump systemswith piecewise homogeneous TPs. Methodologies that can effectively handlecontrol problems in the scenario are developed, including the one coping withthe asynchronous switching phenomenon between the currently activated systemmode and the controller/filter to be designed. Part III focuses on the Markov jumpsystems with memory TPs. The concept of σ-mean square stability is proposedsuch that the stability problem can be solved via a finite number ofconditions. The systems involved with nonlinear dynamics (described via theTakagi-Sugeno fuzzy model) are also investigated. Numerical and practicalexamples are given to verify the effectiveness of the obtained theoreticalresults. Finally, some perspectives and future works are presented to concludethe book.

Analysis and Design of Networked Control Systems (Communications and Control Engineering)
by Keyou You Nan Xiao Lihua XieThis monograph focuses on characterizing the stability and performance consequences of inserting limited-capacity communication networks within a control loop. The text shows how integration of the ideas of control and estimation with those of communication and information theory can be used to provide important insights concerning several fundamental problems such as: · minimum data rate for stabilization of linear systems over noisy channels; · minimum network requirement for stabilization of linear systems over fading channels; and · stability of Kalman filtering with intermittent observations. A fundamental link is revealed between the topological entropy of linear dynamical systems and the capacities of communication channels. The design of a logarithmic quantizer for the stabilization of linear systems under various network environments is also extensively discussed and solutions to many problems of Kalman filtering with intermittent observations are demonstrated. Analysis and Design of Networked Control Systems will interest control theorists and engineers working with networked systems and may also be used as a resource for graduate students with backgrounds in applied mathematics, communications or control who are studying such systems.

Analysis and Design of Networks-on-Chip Under High Process Variation
by Rabab Ezz-Eldin Magdy Ali El-Moursy Hesham F. A. HamedThis book describes in detail the impact of process variations on Network-on-Chip (NoC) performance. The authors evaluate various NoC topologies under high process variation and explain the design of efficient NoCs, with advanced technologies. The discussion includes variation in logic and interconnect, in order to evaluate the delay and throughput variation with different NoC topologies. The authors describe an asynchronous router, as a robust design to mitigate the impact of process variation in NoCs and the performance of different routing algorithms is determined with/without process variation for various traffic patterns. Additionally, a novel Process variation Delay and Congestion aware Routing algorithm (PDCR) is described for asynchronous NoC design, which outperforms different adaptive routing algorithms in the average delay and saturation throughput for various traffic patterns.
Analysis and Design of Next-Generation Software Architectures: 5G, IoT, Blockchain, and Quantum Computing
by Arthur M. LangerThis book provides a detailed “how-to” guide, addressing aspects ranging from analysis and design to the implementation of applications, which need to be integrated within legacy applications and databases.The analysis and design of the next generation of software architectures must address the new requirements to accommodate the Internet of things (IoT), cybersecurity, blockchain networks, cloud, and quantum computer technologies. As 5G wireless increasingly establishes itself over the next few years, moving legacy applications into these new architectures will be critical for companies to compete in a consumer-driven and social media-based economy. Few organizations, however, understand the challenges and complexities of moving from a central database legacy architecture to a ledger and networked environment.The challenge is not limited to just designing new software applications. Indeed, the next generation needs to function more independently on various devices, and on more diverse and wireless-centric networks. Furthermore, databases must be broken down into linked list-based blockchain architectures, which will involve analytic decisions regarding which portions of data and metadata will be processed within the chain, and which ones will be dependent on cloud systems. Finally, the collection of all data throughout these vast networks will need to be aggregated and used for predictive analysis across a variety of competitive business applications in a secured environment. Certainly not an easy task for any analyst/designer!Many organizations will continue to use packaged products and open-source applications. These third-party products will need to be integrated into the new architecture paradigms and have seamless data aggregation capabilities, while maintaining the necessary cyber compliances. The book also clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders involved, including the IT departments, users, executive sponsors, and third-party vendors. The book’s structure also provides a step-by-step method to help ensure a higher rate of success in the context of re-engineering existing applications and databases, as well as selecting third-party products, conversion methods and cybercontrols. It was written for use by a broad audience, including IT developers, software engineers, application vendors, business line managers, and executives.

Analysis and Design of Power Converter Topologies for Application in Future More Electric Aircraft (Springer Theses)
by Amit Kumar SinghThis thesis proposes new power converter topologies suitable for aircraft systems. It also proposes both AC-DC and DC-DC types of converters for different electrical loads to improve the performance these systems. To increase fuel efficiency and reduce environmental impacts, less efficient non-electrical aircraft systems are being replaced by electrical systems. However, more electrical systems requires more electrical power to be generated in the aircraft. The increased consumption of electrical power in both civil and military aircrafts has necessitated the use of more efficient electrical power conversion technologies. This book presents acomprehensive mathematical analysis and the design and digital simulation of the power converters. Subsequently it discusses the construction of the hardware prototypes of each converter and the experimental tests carried out to verify the benefits of the proposed solutions in comparison to the existing solutions.
