Model predictive control (MPC) is an optimal control strategy where control input calculation is based on minimizing the predicted tracking error over a finite horizon that moves with time. This strategy has an advantage over conventional…
Embedded systems are becoming more in demand to work in dynamic and uncertain environments, and being confined to the strong requirements of real-time. Conventional static scheduling models usually cannot cope with runtime modification in…
Most of us must have been fascinated by the eye catching displays of collectively moving animals. Schools of fish can move in a rather orderly fashion and then change direction amazingly abruptly. There are a huge number of further examples…
