DECENTRALIZED CONTROL OF DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING SYSTEMS
… thesis presents a methodology for implementing decentralized scheduling for distributed systems. The environment in which the controlling entities make decisions is stochastic and can be described as uncertain since each entity may have a different view of the system state. As a consequence, …

Decentralized Control and Multicriterion Decision-Making
… from the presence of conflicting goals among decentralized controllers. Of primary interest is the role that the Stackelberg strategy can play in the decentralized control problem.

Decentralized control of multiple collaborating agents
This thesis investigates the effect of various factors on multi-agent collaboration in a simulated fire-fighting domain. A simulator was written that models fires and fire-fighting agents in an area of a few square city blocks. Different scenarios were constructed to test the effects of limiting …

Centralized and Decentralized Control With Limited Information
… the resource allocation problem for a networked control system. By using a sampled-data system over a bandwidth-limited communication channel as a simplified model, we illustrate the trade-off between the sampling rate and the data accuracy given fixed average throughput, under a linear quadratic …

A partial order approach to decentralized control
In this thesis we consider the problem of decentralized control of linear systems. We employ the theory of partially ordered sets (posets) to model and analyze a class of decentralized control problems. Posets have attractive combinatorial and algebraic properties; the combinatorial structure …

Decentralized control of large space structures:an overview
… examines several techniques for the design of decentralized control strategies for the active control of vibrational damping in large space structures. A brief description of the finite element method is presented to explain the derivation of mathematical models of flexible structures …

Distributed and decentralized control of the power grid
The introduction of remotely controlled network devices is transforming the way the power system is operated and studied. The ability to provide real and reactive power support can be achieved at the end-user level. In this dissertation, a framework and algorithm to coordinate this type of end-user …

Learning and decentralized control in linear switched systems
… are an important and widely studied area of control theory since their applications can be encountered in many different circumstances. Examples of such systems include robotics, power grids, networked systems, and macroeconomic models. In this dissertation, we focus on the controller …

Decentralized control for UAV path planning and task allocation
… research effort was focused on development of a decentralized simulation environment. This decentralized version includes a vehicle's own decision making capabilities and communication amongst a team of vehicles. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

Decentralized control of linear switched systems with receding horizon
In this thesis, we consider the decentralized switched control problem where exact conditions for controller synthesis are obtained via Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). Using known derivations for a centralized controller with look-ahead, we were able to extend the decentralized problem with …

Decentralized control of sound radiation from periodically stiffened panels
Active structural acoustic control has previously been used to reduce low-frequency sound radiation from relatively simple laboratory structures. However, significant implementation issues have to be addressed before active control can be used on large, complex structures such as an aircraft …

Decentralized Control of Multiple UAVs for Perimeter and Target Surveillance
… into which all (or even most) cooperative control problems fall. Five factors that affect the development of cooperative control algorithms are objective coupling, communication, completeness, robustness, and efficiency. We classify cooperative control algorithms by these factors and then …

Security and decentralized control of the SFS global file system
… in the world, and avoid any form of centralized control. Using SFS, any unprivileged user can access any file server in the world securely and with no prior arrangement on the part of system administrators. New file servers are immediately accessible securely by all client machines. Users can …
