In the last few years the number of telelaboratories all over the world has significantly increased as they have proved to represent a valid support to conventional teaching tools. Telelaboratories allow a large number of people to access a limited number of resources, for instance students can learn the direct kinematics of a serial manipulator by moving a robotic arm that can be physically placed on the other side of the world. This paper proposes a Distributed Control Lab (DCL) which extends the conventional idea of a telelaboratory, as it can be used as a portable telelaboratory, completely contained inside a Live Linux-RTAI DVD, which can be connected to a large number of real plant to perform a process supervision task. The control panel consists of a user-friendly interface where a wide variety of graphical effects (including 3D models) can be associated to plant variables, so that it is very easy to interact with the underlying process. The software architecture of the DCL, the didactic benefits of the DCL and innovative uses of the proposed telelaboratory are described in detail. Interesting future ideas along this line of research are also outlined.

In this paper we consider the problem of controlling the position of a cable suspended mass and design the optimal controller according to a quadratic cost index. Since in industrial applications it is a common practice to apply digital controllers, we perform the controller design and stability analysis in discrete-time domain. The optimization problem is solved analytically which guarantees that the obtained control law is simple in implementation. We discuss parameter selection so that the mass acceleration is constrained to a prescribed range. Moreover, since in certain applications (such as lifts) overshoots and oscillations of the position should be avoided, we define conditions for eliminating undesirable fluctuations of the output variable.

Our work is devoted to the problem of multiple sensor fault detection and isolation using principal component analysis. Structured residuals are used for multiple fault isolation. These structured residuals are based on the principle of variable reconstruction. However, multiple fault isolation based on reconstruction approach leads to an explosion of the reconstruction combinations. Therefore instead of considering all the subsets of faulty variables, we determine the isolable multiple faults by removing the subsets of variables that have too high minimum fault amplitudes to ensure fault isolation. Unfortunately, in the case of a large number of variables, this scheme yet leads to an explosion of faulty scenarios to consider. An effective approach is to use multi-block reconstruction approach where the process variables are partitioned into several blocks. In the first step of this hierarchical approach, the goal is to isolate faulty blocks and then in the second step, from the faulty blocks, faulty variables have to be isolated. The proposed approach is successfully applied to multiple sensor fault detection and isolation of an air quality monitoring network.

In this paper, a stable adaptive fuzzy sliding mode based tracking control is developed for a class of non-square nonlinear systems that are represented by input output models involving system uncertainties and external disturbances. The main contribution of the proposed method is that non-square systems are be controlled in their original non-square form instead of squaring them by adding or eliminating variables. First, a fuzzy logic system is designed to estimate the unknown function. Secondly, in order to eliminate the chattering phenomenon brought by the conventional variable structure control, the signum function is replaced by an adaptive Proportional Derivative (PD) term in the proposed approach. All parameter adaptive laws and robustifying control terms are derived based on Lyapunov stability analysis, so that the convergence to zero of tracking errors and the boudedness of all signals in the closed-loop system can be guaranteed. The efficiency of the proposed approach is shown by computer simulations.

The objective of our work is to detect and isolate the faults that occur in large scale systems with many measurements. An advanced fault detection and isolation (FDI) method is proposed based on wavelet decomposition, Parameters Elimination Method (PEM) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) networks. Input signals are decomposed into approximations (low frequencies) and details (high frequencies). The extracted statistical parameters from approximation and detail signals pass through Parameters Elimination Method (PEM) to get rid from parameters that are useless for accurate classification. The selected parameters are used to classify the faults using a supervised RBF network. The performance of our algorithm is compared with a usual method based on classification without decomposition technique and parameters selection. The two methods are compared on the simulator of a chemical reactor: the Tennessee Eastman Challenge Process that is a well known benchmark for large scale systems.

In this paper, high order sliding mode observers are used to estimate tires longitudinal forces, vehicle side slip angle and velocity. Longitudinal forces are identified using third order SM observers, which permit, in our case, to identify these forces with a high precision and without filtration. For the estimation of the vehicle side slip angle and velocity, a SM observer based on the hierarchical super twisting algorithm is proposed permitting to reduce the error and to increase the precision. Validations with the simulator VE-DYNA pointed out the good performance and the robustness of the proposed observers. After the validation of these observers, a braking controller based on a reduced model for the vehicle centre of gravity in the (X, Y) plane is developed. The design of this controller is based on the sliding mode techniques and it is supposed to work only in the emergency cases (and after the convergence of the observers). The performance of the closed loop system (system, Observers, Controller) is carried out by means of Matlab simulations.

The important role that mammography is playing in breast cancer detection can be attributed largely to the technical improvements and dedication of radiologists to breast imaging. A lot of work is being done to ensure that these diagnosing steps are becoming smoother, faster and more accurate in classifying whether the abnormalities seen in mammogram images are benign or malignant. This paper takes a step in that direction by introducing a hybrid evolutionary neural network classifier (HENC) combining the evolutionary algorithm, which has a powerful global exploration capability, with gradient-based local search method, which can exploit the optimum offspring to develop a diagnostic aid that accurately differentiates malignant from benign pattern. The computational experiments show that the presented HENC approach can obtain better generalization and much lower computational cost than the existing methods reported recently in the literature using the widely accepted Wisconsin breast cancer diagnosis (WBCD) database with some improvements.

This paper proposes a distributed predictive control strategy for building temperature regulation. The originality of the approach consists of using a dynamic prediction horizon MPC, allowing a more effective disturbances rejection. Then this idea is extended, for multizone temperature control in buildings, in a distributed manner, where each controller solves a local optimization problem using information about the expected behavior of the other local regulators. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is showed through different simulations.

This paper considers H∞ control problem for input-delayed systems for time-varying delays. A proportional-derivative state feedback control law is used in this paper. By this means, the resulting closed-loop system turns into a specific time-delay system of neutral type. The significant specification of this neutral system is that its delayed term coefficients depend on the controller parameters. This condition provides new challenging issues in theoretical research as well as providing new applications. In the present paper, new delay-dependent sufficient condition is derived for the existence of H∞ controller in terms of matrix inequalities, in presence of varying time-delays. The resulting H∞ controller guarantees asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system as well as a guaranteed limited system induced norm smaller than a prescribed level. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper is concerned with the synthesis of robust guaranteed-cost controllers for networked systems operating under uncertain, bounded, time-varying transmission delays. The uncertainty of the transmission delay results in an uncertain discrete-time networked controlled system (NCS). The main contribution is a synthesis procedure for a static control law which not only robustly stabilizes the system against all admissible time-varying network-induced delays but also addresses performance issues expressed via a quadratic cost function. This delay-dependent procedure (a sufficient condition expressed via LMI) gives rise to a parametrization of the guaranteed-cost controllers allowing thus the investigation for an optimal controller which minimizes the upper bound of the closed-loop cost function. The provided simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed control scheme.
