Control by Interconnection :
An Alternative Paradigm to the Signal-Processing Viewpoint
Abstract: The motivation of the interconnection viewpoint in control stems from the simpleobservation that classical system theory thinking is unsuitable to deal on an appropriatelygeneral level with the basic tenets at which systems theory aims: the modeling, analysis andsynthesis of open and of interconnected systems that exchange mass, energy or information withtheir environment. Viewing (dynamic) relations in terms of inputs and outputs, and viewinginterconnection as input-to-output assignment, as signal transmission from one subsystem toanother, invariably introduces a structure and a mechanism that is not part of the physics. Itis appropriate in signal processing and in sensor-output-to-actuator-input feedback control, butit is severely limited as a framework for dealing with interconnected systems.
The primary purpose of this talk is to question the use of the input-output framework forcontrol systems design. We show throughout the use of many modern physical examples thatthe control by interconnection is more suitable, and some times the only, approach to addressthese problems. The examples that we study include: walking robots, bilateral teleoperators,power factor compensation and overvoltage suppression in long cable interconnections.

Abstract:A review of mathematical models for the pathogenesis of HIV ispresented. Model identifiability and identification techniquesare applied using the biomedical model and clinical data.Identifiability analysis aids in the determination of measuredvalues and measurementfrequency.

Adaptive Decoupling Control of Non-linear Multivariable
Systems with DynamicState Feedback
Abstract: It is known that the linear multivariable system is decouplable by the static state feedback if and only if its interactor is a diagonal matrix. When the system does not have a diagonal interactor, it is always possible to design the precompensator such that the total system has a diagonal interactor. In this paper, we apply this technique to nonlinear multivariable systems with unknown parameters whose interacotors are not diagonal. First, a precompensator for a diagonal interactor is designed in the generic sense so that decoupled output error equations are obtained. Then, this extended system can be decoupled adaptively by using MRACS technique.

Power System Blackout Model via OPF and Its Self-organized Criticality
Abstract:Based on the essence of self-organized criticality and optimal power flow, this paper develops a novel model to study the cascading failures and blackouts in power systems, which avoids the shortcomings of existing blackout models. The proposed model contains two dynamics, one is the fast dynamics which simulates the serial blackouts in power system, the other is the slow dynamics which reflects the growth of the power system. In addition, this model has voltage steady stability analysis function and can reveal critical characteristics from reactive power and voltage viewpoint. Simulations in IEEE-30 bus system with the proposed model show that, the processing of the cascading and blackout can be captured by the fast dynamics, together with the self-organized criticality property of fast dynamic respect to the micro scale. Besides, the macro scale of self-organized criticality of power system can be revealed from the viewpoint of ratio of total load demand to the total network capability. Furthermore, the voltage steady stability criticality status could be indicated from the minimum magnitude of eigenvalue and the minimum voltage steady stability margins. Finally, this work has verified that improving the transmission ability of network could effectively prevent blackout and reduce its risk.

Stability Analysis of Internet Congestion Control Systems
Abstract: This lecture presents some preliminary results on the stability analysis of network congestion control systems.Due to the difficulty of handling the so-called queue nonlinearity,
the queue part was usually discarded in the previous work.In this talk, we take into account the affect of the queue inTransmission Control Protocol/Active Queue Management (TCP/AQM) systems and show how such internet congestion control systems can be formulated as switched time-delay systems. A Lyapunov-Krasovskiibased approach is then developed for the stability analysis of theswitched time-delay system under P and/or PI controllers.
