Many traditional robust control approaches assume linearity of the system and independence between the system state-input and the parameters of its approximant (possibly lower-order) model. This assumption implies that the application of…

State estimation plays a key role in the transition from the passive to the active operation of distribution systems, as it allows to monitor these networks and, successively, to perform control actions. However, designing state estimators…

Ensuring quality of service (QoS) guarantees in service systems is a challenging task, particularly when the system is composed of more fine-grained services, such as service function chains. An important QoS metric in service systems is…
