Many application domains require representing interrelated real-world activities and/or evolving physical phenomena. In the crisis response domain, for instance, one may be interested in representing the state of the unfolding crisis (e.g.,…
This paper considers an opportunistic scheduling problem over a renewal system. A controller observes a random event at the beginning of each renewal frame and then chooses an action in response to the event, which affects the duration of…
Periodic timetabling for public transportation networks is typically modelled as a Periodic Event Scheduling Problem (PESP). Solving instances of the benchmark library PESPlib to optimality continues to pose a challenge. As a further…
We consider a network of event-based systems that use a shared wireless medium to communicate with their respective controllers. These systems use a contention resolution mechanism to arbitrate access to the shared network. We identify…
Networked control systems have gained considerable attention over the last decade as a result of the trend towards decentralised control applications and the emergence of cyber-physical system applications. However, real-world wireless…
Hybrid switching - in which a high bandwidth circuit switch (optical or wireless) is used in conjunction with a low bandwidth packet switch - is a promising alternative to interconnect servers in today's large scale data-centers. Circuit…
Embedded computing systems today increasingly feature resource constraints and workload variability, which lead to uncertainty in resource availability. This raises great challenges to software design and programming in multitasking…
The increasing variety of input data and complexity of tasks that are handled by the devices of internet of things (IoT) environments require solutions that consider the limited hardware and computation power of the edge devices. Complex…
Samples from a high-dimensional AR[1] process are observed by a sender which can communicate only finitely many bits per unit time to a receiver. The receiver seeks to form an estimate of the process value at every time instant in…
Polling systems with losses are useful mathematical objects that can model many practical systems like travelling salesman problem with recurrent requests. One of the less studied yet an important aspect in such systems is the disparity in…
We consider a remote state estimation problem in the presence of an eavesdropper over packet dropping links. A smart sensor transmits its local estimates to a legitimate remote estimator, in the course of which an eavesdropper can randomly…
We implement a recently proposed event-triggered networked MPC approach on industrial hardware to analyze its practical relevance. There exist several alternatives for such an implementation that differ with respect to the distribution of…
In this work, we propose an event-triggered con- trol framework for dynamical systems with temporal logical constraints. Event-triggered control methodologies have proven to be very efficient in reducing sensing, communication and…
The event-triggered control with intermittent output can reduce the communication burden between the controller and plant side over the network. It has been exploited for adaptive output feedback control of uncertain nonlinear systems in…
Evaluating the performance of software for automated vehicles is predominantly driven by data collected from the real world. While professional test drivers are supported with technical means to semi-automatically annotate driving maneuvers…
This study considers a wireless network where an access point (AP) broadcasts timely updates to numerous mobile users. The timeliness of information owned by a user is characterized by the age of information. Frequently broadcasting the…
Information-theoretic arguments focus on modeling the reliability of information transmission, assuming availability of infinite data at sources, thus ignoring randomness in message generation times at the respective sources. However, in…
This paper reviews compact continuous-time formulations for the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem. Specifically, we first point out a serious flaw in an existing start-end-event-based formulation owing to…
We present an approach to reduce the communication of information needed on a Distributed Q-Learning system inspired by Event Triggered Control (ETC) techniques. We consider a baseline scenario of a distributed Q-learning problem on a…
We study the scalability of consensus-based distributed optimization algorithms by considering two questions: How many processors should we use for a given problem, and how often should they communicate when communication is not free?…
