    Data Monitoring Sensor Network for Big Net Research Testbed
    Rao, AS ; Izadi, D ; Tellis, RF ; Ekanayake, SW ; Pathirana, PN ; Marusic, S ; Palaniswami, M ; Gubbi, J ; Law, YW (IEEE, 2009-01-01)
    Equipped with recent advances in electronics and communication, wireless sensor networks gained a rapid development to provide reliable information with higher Quality of Service (QoS) at lower costs. This paper presents a real-time tracking system developed as a part of the ISSNIP BigNet Testbed project. Here a GPS receiver was used to acquire position information of mobile nodes and GSM technology was used as the data communication media. Moreover, Google map based data visualization software was developed to locate the mobile nodes via Internet. This system can be used to accommodate various sensors, such as temperature, pressure, pH etc., and monitor the status of the nodes.

    Explicit Lyapunov functions for stability and performance characterizations of FOREs connected to an integrator
    Zaccarian, L ; Nesic, D ; Teel, AR (IEEE, 2006)
    In this paper we provide explicit Lyapunov functions that prove that a First Order Reset Element (FORE) in negative feedback interconnection with an integrator is exponentially stable for any, positive or negative, value of the pole of the FORE. The Lyapunov functions also allow to establish finite gain L2 stability from a disturbance input acting at the input of the plant to the plant output. L2 stability is established by giving a bound on the corresponding L2 gains. The framework used for the characterization of the system dynamics and for the stability and performance analysis corresponds to the ideas first proposed in (Nesic et al. IFAC 2005) and (Zaccarian et al. ACC 2005).

    Set-point stabilization of SISO linear systems using First Order Reset Elements
    Zaccarian, L ; Nesic, D ; Teel, AR (IEEE, 2007-01-01)
    In this paper we further develop on a novel representation of first order reset elements (FORE) control systems for SISO plants. We study here the problem of guaranteeing asymptotic tracking of constant references for general plants, which may or may not contain an integrator (namely, an internal model of the constant reference signal). We propose a generalization of the FORE which allows to guarantee asymptotic tracking of constant references when the plant parameters are perfectly known. Robustness of the scheme follows from the L infin stability properties of the FORE control schemes. The proposed approach is successfully illustrated on a simulation example.

    Model Reduction of Automotive Engines using Perturbation Theory
    Sharma, R ; Nesic, D ; Manzie, C (IEEE, 2009-01-01)
    In this paper, a new constructive and versatile procedure to systematically reduce the order of control oriented engine models is presented. The technique is governed by the identification of time scale separation within the dynamics of various engine state variables and hence makes extensive use of the perturbation theory. On the basis of the dynamic characteristics and the geometry of engines, two methods for model reduction are proposed. Method 1 involves collective use of the regular and singular perturbation theories to eliminate temperature dynamics and approximate them with their quasi-steady state values, while Method 2 deals with the elimination of fast pressures. The result is a library of engine models which are associated with each other on a sound theoretical basis and simultaneously allow sufficient flexibility in terms of the reduced order modeling of a variety of engines. Different assumptions under which this model reduction is justified are presented and their implications are discussed.

    On stability properties of nonlinear time-varying systems by semi-definite time-varying Lyapunov can
    Wang, ZM ; Tan, Y ; Wang, G ; Nesic, D (IFAC, 2008-12-01)
    Stability properties (uniform stability/uniform asymptotic stability) of nonlinear time-varying systems are explored using positive semi-definite time-varying Lyapunov candidates whose derivative along trajectories is either non-positive or negative semi-definite. Once these positive semi-definite time-varying Lyapunov candidates are available, conditional stability properties on some specific sets can be used to ensure stability properties ( unform stability and unform asymptotic stability) of nonlinear time-varying systems.

    Dynamic Practical Stabilization of Sampled-data Linear Distributed Parameter Systems
    Tan, Y ; Trelat, E ; Chitour, Y ; Nesic, D (IEEE, 2009-01-01)
    In this paper, dynamic practical stability properties of infinite-dimensional sampled-data systems are discussed. A family of finite-dimensional discrete-time controllers are first designed to uniformly exponentially stabilize numerical approximate models that are obtained from space and time discretization. Sufficient conditions are provided to ensure that these controllers can be used to drive trajectories of infinite-dimensional sampled-data systems to a neighborhood of the origin by properly tuning the sampling period, space and time discretization parameters and choosing an appropriate filtering process for initial conditions.
