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.
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…
Stability Analysis of a Linear Parameter Varying Adaptive Output Feedback Control System
2021
Abstract Output feedback control systems often require an adaptive filter for properly shaping the loop transfer function, as certain system plant parameters may be uncertain or varying. This renders the overall closed loop to a linear parameter varying (LPV) system, for which the stability analysis is challenging due to non-trivial dynamics of the adaptation law. This paper develops a stability analysis technique of a feedback controlled oscillatory system. A polytopic overapproximation of the parameter set together with the feasibility of certain LMIs guarantees asymptotic stability of the closed loop. The varying filter parameter is only required to be lower and upper bounded, where the …
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…
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…
Type-2 Fuzzy Control of a Bioreactor
2009
Abstract—In this paper the control of a bioprocess using an adaptive type-2 fuzzy logic controller is proposed. The process is concerned with the aerobic alcoholic fermentation for the growth of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae a n d i s characterized by nonlinearity and parameter uncertainty. Three type-2 fuzzy controllers heve been developed and tested by simulation: a simple type-2 fuzzy logic controller with 49 rules; a type-2 fuzzyneuro- predictive controller (T2FNPC); a t y p e -2 selftuning fuzzy controller ( T2STFC). The T2FNPC combines the capability of the type-2 fuzzy logic to handle uncertainties, with the ability of predictive control to predict future plant performance making use of a…
P and R Wave Detection in Complete Congenital Atrioventricular Block
2009
Complete atrioventricular block (type III AVB) is characterized by an absence of P wave transmission to ventricles. This implies that QRS complexes are generated in an autonomous way and are not coordinated with P waves. This work introduces a new algorithm for the detection of P waves for this type of pathology using non-invasive electrocardiographic surface leads. The proposed algorithm is divided into three stages. In the first stage, the R waves located by a QRS detector are used to generate the RR series and time references for the other stages of the algorithm. In the second stage, the ventricular activity (QT segment) is removed by using an adaptive filter that obtains an averaged pa…
Dosage individualization of erythropoietin using a profile-dependent support vector regression
2003
The external administration of recombinant human erythropoietin is the chosen treatment for those patients with secondary anemia due to chronic renal failure in periodic hemodialysis. The objective of this paper is to carry out an individualized prediction of the EPO dosage to be administered to those patients. The high cost of this medication, its side-effects and the phenomenon of potential resistance which some individuals suffer all justify the need for a model which is capable of optimizing dosage individualization. A group of 110 patients and several patient factors were used to develop the models. The support vector regressor (SVR) is benchmarked with the classical multilayer percept…
Adaptive frequency decomposition of EEG with subsequent expert system analysis.
2001
We present a hybrid system for automatic analysis of clinical routine EEG, comprising a spectral analysis and an expert system. EEG raw data are transformed into the time-frequency domain by the so-called adaptive frequency decomposition. The resulting frequency components are converted into pseudo-linguistic facts via fuzzification. Finally, an expert system applies symbolic rules formulated by the neurologist to evaluate the extracted EEG features. The system detects artefacts, describes alpha rhythm by frequency, amplitude, and stability and after artefact rejection detects pathologic slow activity. All results are displayed as linguistic terms, numerical values and maps of temporal exte…
