Large-scale systems, such as computer and telecommunication networks, complex control systems and many others, operate in inherently parallel environments. It follows that there are many opportunities to admit parallelism into both the algorithm of control implementation and simulation of the system operation considered. The paper addresses issues associated with the application of parallel discrete event simulation (PDES). We discuss the PDES terminology and methodology. Particular attention is...
Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 93C83, 93C85, 68T40Fractional Calculus (FC) goes back to the beginning of the theory of
differential calculus. Nevertheless, the application of FC just emerged in the
last two decades. In the field of dynamical systems theory some work has
been carried out but the proposed models and algorithms are still in a preliminary
stage of establishment. This article illustrates several applications
of fractional calculus in robot manipulator path planning and control....
