Network of queues modeling in flexible manufacturing systems : a survey
The coupled tasks scheduling problem is a class of scheduling problems introduced for beam steering software of sophisticated radar devices, called phased arrays. Due to increasing popularity of such radars, the importance of coupled tasks scheduling is constantly growing. Unfortunately, most of the coupled tasks problems are NP-hard, and only a few practically usable algorithms for such problems were found. This paper provides a survey of already known complexity results of various variants of...
This paper presents some recent results about the design of observers for time-delay systems. It is focused on methods that can lead to design some useful observers in practical situations. First the links between observability properties and observers design is emphasized. Then some necessary and sufficient conditions and a method are provided to obtain unknown input observers for time-delay systems. Furthermore some design using Lyapunov–Krasovskii and Lyapunov–Razumikhin theories are presented...
