In large process control systems it frequently becomes desirable to establish feedback relationships that were not anticipated during the design phase of the project. The "Generic Lock" architecture discussed in this paper makes it possible…
We will use EPICS toolkit [1] to build a prototype for upgrading BEPC control system. The purposes are for the following three aspects: (1) Setup a network based distributed control system with EPICS. (2) Study some front-end control…
Managing energy and thermal profiles is critical for many-core HPC processors with hundreds of application-class processing elements (PEs). Advanced model predictive control (MPC) delivers state-of-the-art performance but requires solving…
In the control system of the JAERI-KEK joint project (High Intensity Proton Accelerator Facility), it is planned to employ network-based controllers such as PLC's and measurement stations instead of using other field control networks, since…
Due to increasing shares of renewable energy sources, more frequency reserves are required to maintain power system stability. In this paper, we present a decentralized control scheme that allows a large aggregation of refrigerators to…
The four LHC experiments at CERN have decided to use a commercial SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) product for the supervision of their DCS (Detector Control System). The selected SCADA, which is therefore used for the CMS…
The strategy used to develop the NIF Integrated Computer Control System (ICCS) calls for incremental cycles of construction and formal test to deliver a total of 1 million lines of code. Each incremental release takes four to six months to…
Embedded peripheral devices such as memories, sensors and communications interfaces are used to perform a function external to a host microcontroller. The device manufacturer typically specifies worst-case current consumption and latency…
Frequency control in power systems is implemented in a hierarchical structure traditionally known as primary frequency control (PFC), secondary frequency control (SFC) and tertiary control reserve (TCR) and, some jurisdictions, include time…
Typically, a memory request from a processor may need to go through many intermediate interconnect routers, directory node, owner node, etc before it is finally serviced. Current multiprocessors do not give preference to any particular…
In this paper, a complete industrial validation of a recently published scheme for on-line adaptation of the control updating period in Model Predictive Control is proposed. The industrial process that serves in the validation is a…
In this paper we discuss ways to reduce the execution time of a software Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver that is meant for offline operation in a cloud environment. Client devices record satellite signals they receive,…
With astonishing speed, bandwidth, and scale, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has played an increasingly important role in the next generation of connectivity and service delivery. Yet, along with the massive deployment of MEC servers, the…
Reservoir computing is a temporal information processing system that exploits artificial or physical dissipative dynamics to learn a dynamical system and generate the target time-series. This paper proposes the use of real superconducting…
Many online services running in datacenters are implemented using a microservice software architecture characterized by strict latency requirements. Consequently, this popular software paradigm is increasingly used for the performance…
Admission control is a key component in multimedia servers, which will allow the resources to be used by the client only when they are available. A problem faced by numerous content serving machines is overload, when there are too many…
This paper is devoted to a consumer-preferred community-level energy management system (CEMS), in which a system manager allows consumers their selfish decisions of power-saving while regulating the overall demand-supply imbalance. The key…
A common aspect of today's cyber-physical systems is that multiple optimization-based control tasks may execute in a shared processor. Such control tasks make use of online optimization and thus have large execution times; hence, their…
Data centers are on the rise and scientists are re-thinking and re-designing networks for data centers. The concept of central control which was not effective in the Internet era is now gaining popularity and is used in many data centers…
This paper proposes Caesar, a novel multi-leader Generalized Consensus protocol for geographically replicated sites. The main goal of Caesar is to overcome one of the major limitations of existing approaches, which is the significant…
