Using adaptive fuzzy-neural control to minimize response time in cluster-based web systems
2005
We have developed content-aware request distribution algorithm called FARD which is a client-and-server-aware, dynamic and adaptive distribution policy in cluster-based Web systems. It assigns each incoming request to the server with the least expected response time. To estimate the expected response times it uses the fuzzy estimation mechanism. The system is adaptive as it uses a neural network learning ability for its adaptation. Simulations based on traces from the 1998 World Cup show that when we consider the response time, FARD can be more effective than the state-of-the-art content-aware policy LARD.
Distributed Adaptive Control for Asymptotically Consensus Tracking of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems With Intermittent Actuator Faults and Directed Comm…
2019
In this article, we investigate the output consensus tracking problem for a class of high-order nonlinear systems with unknown parameters, uncertain external disturbances, and intermittent actuator faults. Under the directed topology conditions, a novel distributed adaptive controller is proposed. The common time-varying trajectory is allowed to be totally unknown by part of subsystems. Therefore, the assumption on the linearly parameterized trajectory signal in most literature is no longer needed. To achieve the relaxation, extra distributed parameter estimators are introduced in all subsystems. Besides, to handle the actuator faults occurring at possibly infinite times, a new adaptive com…
Adaptive dual control in one biomedical problem
2003
In this paper, the following biomedical problem is considered. People are subjected to a certain chemotherapeutic treatment. The optimal dosage is the maximal dose for which an individual patient will have toxicity level that does not cross the allowable limit. We discuss sequential procedures for searching the optimal dosage, which are based on the concept of dual control and the principle of optimality. According to the dual control theory, the control has two purposes that might be conflicting: one is to help learning about unknown parameters and/or the state of the system (estimation); the other is to achieve the control objective. Thus the resulting control sequence exhibits the closed…
Schedulability analysis of window-constrained execution time tasks for real-time control
2003
Feasibility tests for hard real-time systems provide information about the schedulability of a set of tasks. However, this information is a yes or no answer whether the task set achieves the test or not. From the system design point of view, it would be useful to have more information, for example, how much can one vary some task parameters, such as computation time, without jeopardizing the system feasibility. The aim of the work is to provide a method to determine how much a task can increase its computation time, maintaining the system feasibility under a dynamic priority scheduling. This extra time can be determined not only in all the task activations, but in n of a window of m task in…
Fuzzy control of pH using NAL
1991
Abstract A fuzzy controller for a neutralization process is described. The controller was set up for a laboratory pilot plant. The approach is shown to be effective and can be extended to highly nonlinear and nonstationary processes. The “operator” knowledge encoded in the rules was obtained by several experimental runs of the system using manual control. Rules are composed using the max-min compositional rule of inference. The use of metarules, which depends on controller performance and on active disturbances, makes the controller behave like an adaptive controller. The control program is encoded in NAL, a new experimental logic programming language that was first used in this work in a r…
Fuzzy modeling and control for a class of inverted pendulum system
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Abstract and Applied Analysis. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/936868 Open Access Focusing on the issue of nonlinear stability control system about the single-stage inverted pendulum, the T-S fuzzy model is employed. Firstly, linear approximation method would be applied into fuzzy model for the single-stage inverted pendulum. At the same time, for some nonlinear terms which could not be dealt with via linear approximation method, this paper will adopt fan range method into fuzzy model. After the T-S fuzzy model, the PDC technology is utilized to design the fuzzy controller secondly. Numerical simulation res…

This article presents the development of an intelligent technique of Adaptive-Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) based on Maximum Power Point Tracking (ANFIS-MPPT) algorithm with PI controller in order to increase the performances of the photovoltaic panel system below change atmospheric circumstances. In this work, the mathematical principles of the ANFIS method were presented and developed using the software Matlab/Simulink.

Data-based modeling of vehicle crash using adaptive neural-fuzzy inference system
2014
Vehicle crashes are considered to be events that are extremely complex to be analyzed from the mathematical point of view. In order to establish a mathematical model of a vehicle crash, one needs to consider various areas of research. For this reason, to simplify the analysis and improve the modeling process, in this paper, a novel adaptive neurofuzzy inference system (ANFIS-based) approach to reconstruct kinematics of colliding vehicles is presented. A typical five-layered ANFIS structure is trained to reproduce kinematics (acceleration, velocity, and displacement) of a vehicle involved in an oblique barrier collision. Subsequently, the same ANFIS structure is applied to simulate different…
Determining the Parameters of a Sugeno Fuzzy Controller Using a Parallel Genetic Algorithm
2013
Developed in the mid 1970s, the technique based on genetic algorithms proved its usefulness in finding optimal or near optimal solutions to problems for which accurate solving strategies are either non-existent or require excessively long running time. We implemented a genetic algorithm to determine the parameters of a Sugeno fuzzy controller for the Truck Backer-Upper problem (This problem is considered an acknowledged benchmark in nonlinear system identification.). Less known at first than Mamdami fuzzy controllers, Sugeno fuzzy controllers became popular once they were included into the ANFIS neuro-fuzzy Matlab library. By their nature, Sugeno controllers can be regarded as interpolation…
Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for kinematics solutions of redundant robots
2016
This written paper presents aspects concerning the implementation of the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) in the resolution of a redundant serial robot kinematics. The kinematics solutions are divided into two categories: direct kinematics solutions and inverse kinematics solutions. To be able to control a robot the most important solutions are the ones for the inverse kinematics since one knows the position and the final orientation of the end effector and needs to determine the relative displacement or movements into the robot couplings. To obtain the optimal solutions for the inverse kinematics of a redundant robot the mathematical equations were based onto the redundancy ci…
