Cloud computing is an established technology allowing users to share resources on a large scale, never before seen in IT history. A cloud system connects multiple individual servers in order to process related tasks in several environments…
The conventional model of resource allocation in HPC systems is static. Thus, a job cannot leverage newly available resources in the system or release underutilized resources during the execution. In this paper, we present Kub, a…
The performance, reliability, cost, size and energy usage of computing systems can be improved by one or more orders of magnitude by the systematic use of modern control and optimization methods. Computing systems rely on the use of…
We show that there exist non-relativistic scattering experiments which, if successful, freeze out, speed up or even reverse the free dynamics of any ensemble of quantum systems present in the scattering region. This time translation effect…
An important challenge in several disciplines is to understand how sudden changes can propagate among coupled systems. Examples include the synchronization of business cycles, population collapse in patchy ecosystems, markets shifting to a…
This published paper investigates the distributed tracking control problem for a class of Euler-Lagrange multi-agent systems when the agents can only measure the positions. In this case, the lack of the separation principle and the strong…
A sensor was developed to quantitatively measure perturbations which change the volume of a wave chaotic cavity while leaving its shape intact. The sensors work in the time domain by using either scattering fidelity of the transmitted…
Different approaches in quantifying environmentally-induced decoherence are considered. We identify a measure of decoherence, derived from the density matrix of the system of interest, that quantifies the environmentally induced error,…
Control systems should enforce a desired property for both expected modeled situations as well as unexpected unmodeled environmental situations. Existing methods focus on designing controllers to enforce the desired property only when the…
The increasing complexity and interconnectedness of systems across various fields have led to a growing interest in studying complex networks, particularly Scale-Free (SF) networks, which best model real-world systems. This paper…
This paper introduces and solves a structural controllability problem for ensembles of switched linear systems. All individual systems in the ensemble are sparse and governed by the same sparsity pattern, and undergo switching among…
A network of coupled time-varying systems, where individual nodes are interconnected through links, is a modeling framework widely used by many disciplines. For identical nodes displaying a complex behavior known as chaos, clusters of nodes…
Modern buildings consist of hundreds of sensors and actuators for monitoring and operation of systems such as HVAC, light and security. To enable portable applications in next generation smart buildings, we need models and standardized…
The complexity of condensed matter arises from emergent behaviors that cannot be understood by analyzing individual constituents in isolation. While traditional condensed-matter approaches-developed primarily for ideal crystalline…

Increased connectivity and remote reprogrammability/reconfigurability features of embedded devices in current-day power systems (including interconnections between information technology -- IT -- and operational technology -- OT --…
Recently, a framework for controller design of sampled-data nonlinear systems via their approximate discrete-time models has been proposed in the literature. In this paper we develop novel tools that can be used within this framework and…
Despite rapid evolution, embedded computing systems increasingly feature resource constraints and workload uncertainties. To achieve much better system performance in unpredictable environments than traditional design approaches, a novel…
Reservoir computing is a machine learning framework that uses artificial or physical dissipative dynamics to predict time-series data using nonlinearity and memory properties of dynamical systems. Quantum systems are considered as promising…
Chaotic systems are highly sensitive to a small perturbation, and are ubiquitous throughout biological sciences, physical sciences and even social sciences. Taking this as the underlying principle, we construct an operational notion for…
