Applications Of Sliding Mode Control In Science And Engineering

Engineering Safe and Secure Cyber-Physical Systems This book introduces the concept of holistic design and development of cyber physical systems to achieve their safe and secure operation. It shows that by following the standards for embedded system’s safety and using appropriate hardware and software components inherently safe system’s architectures can be devised and certified..

Image Feature Detectors and Descriptors.Additionally, it emphasizes several keywords in both theoretical and practical aspects of image feature extraction. It serves as reference for researchers and practitioners by featuring survey chapters and research contributions on image feature detectors and descriptors.

The book represents the combined peer-reviewed proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing (IDC 2017) and the 7th International Workshop on Applications of Software Agents (WASA 2017), both of which were held in Belgrade, Serbia from October 11 to 13, 2017. It focuses on the following specific topics: distributed data mining and machine learning, reasoning and decision-making in distributed environments, distributed evolutionary algorithms, trust and reputation models for distributed systems, scheduling and resource allocation in distributed systems, intelligent multi-agent systems, advanced agent-based and service-based architectures, and Smart Cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) environments.

Teaching is a very rewarding activity; it is also a very difficult one – because it is largely an art.The authors do not claim to have solved all the problems of education. The book offers teachers and instructors valuable advice and provides researchers in pedagogical and fuzzy areas with techniques to further advance teaching.

Although DNA decides the form each particular species takes, does it also account for intelligent behaviour in living beings? The authors explore the factors that are perceived as intelligent behaviour in living beings and the incorporation of these factors in machines using genetic programming, which ultimately provides a platform for exploring the possibility of machines that can learn by themselves, i. It is fascinating to see how all biological cells share virtually the same traits, but humans have a decided edge over other species when it comes to intelligence.

This book shows that the term “interpretability” goes far beyond the concept of readability of a fuzzy set and fuzzy rules. It also demonstrates how to eliminate various system components, such as inputs, rules and fuzzy sets, whose reduction does not adversely affect system accuracy. Design of Interpretable Fuzzy Systems It illustrates the performance of the developed algorithms and methods with commonly used benchmarks. It focuses on novel and precise operators of aggregation, inference, and defuzzification leading to flexible Mamdani-type and logical-type systems that can achieve the required accuracy using a less complex rule base.

Applications of Sliding Mode Control in Science and Engineering.

. It presents recent advances in computational optimization.

Special emphasis has been given to papers that offer practical solutions, and which examine design and modeling involving new types of sliding mode control such as higher order sliding mode control, terminal sliding mode control, super-twisting sliding mode control, and integral sliding mode control.
