  • Control Theory
    Control theory S. Simrock DESY, Hamburg, Germany Abstract In engineering and mathematics, control theory deals with the behaviour of dynamical systems. The desired output of a system is called the reference. When one or more output variables of a system need to follow a certain ref- erence over time, a controller manipulates the inputs to a system to obtain the desired effect on the output of the system. Rapid advances in digital system technology have radically altered the control design options. It has become routinely practicable to design very complicated digital controllers and to carry out the extensive calculations required for their design. These advances in im- plementation and design capability can be obtained at low cost because of the widespread availability of inexpensive and powerful digital processing plat- forms and high-speed analog IO devices. 1 Introduction The emphasis of this tutorial on control theory is on the design of digital controls to achieve good dy- namic response and small errors while using signals that are sampled in time and quantized in amplitude. Both transform (classical control) and state-space (modern control) methods are described and applied to illustrative examples. The transform methods emphasized are the root-locus method of Evans and fre- quency response. The state-space methods developed are the technique of pole assignment augmented by an estimator (observer) and optimal quadratic-loss control. The optimal control problems use the steady-state constant gain solution. Other topics covered are system identification and non-linear control. System identification is a general term to describe mathematical tools and algorithms that build dynamical models from measured data.

Virtual Reality, Neuroscience and the Living Flesh 1 The Brain Without the Body? Virtual Reality, Neuroscience and the Living Flesh Marion Roussel Introduction 1 “The Brain Without the Body” can strike one as a curious title. It reminds us of the concept of the “Body without Organs” developed by French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari (1980). I am using this expression to refer to a virtual reality environment project named AlloBrain@AlloSphere that was conducted between 2005 and 2009 by architect and artist Marcos Novak. I experienced it myself in March 2014 at the University of California, Santa Barbara. 2 AlloBrain is an immersive environment modelled from Novak’s brain MRIs and then extruded in the form of a three-dimensional volume. Its aim is to plunge inside the architect’s head, in his cerebral space.

  • The Theory of Control: a Brief Overview
    The Theory of Control: A Brief Overview Robin H. Pearce Abstract Control systems form a vital part of engineering, where anything that needs to be regulated or optimised can be done so with a technique that is encompassed by control theory. Since the 16th century, problems have been modelled as dynamical systems so that a mathematical control strategy could be devised and an equivalent physical strategy invented. Methods for controlling mechanical, analogue and digital systems have been invented and some are widely used. I will briefly introduce and explain many of the relevant topics considered to be part of control theory. \Control Theory" is somewhat an umbrella term, are both linear and time-invariant. These systems used to describe a wide range of analytic techniques are known as LTI systems and are extremely useful and styles which are applied to the control of a math- in control and signal processing. ematical system.

  • What Is Systems Theory?
    What is Systems Theory? Systems theory is an interdisciplinary theory about the nature of complex systems in nature, society, and science, and is a framework by which one can investigate and/or describe any group of objects that work together to produce some result. This could be a single organism, any organization or society, or any electro-mechanical or informational artifact. As a technical and general academic area of study it predominantly refers to the science of systems that resulted from Bertalanffy's General System Theory (GST), among others, in initiating what became a project of systems research and practice. Systems theoretical approaches were later appropriated in other fields, such as in the structural functionalist sociology of Talcott Parsons and Niklas Luhmann .

  • Control System Design Methods
    Christiansen-Sec.19.qxd 06:08:2004 6:43 PM Page 19.1 The Electronics Engineers' Handbook, 5th Edition McGraw-Hill, Section 19, pp. 19.1-19.30, 2005. SECTION 19 CONTROL SYSTEMS Control is used to modify the behavior of a system so it behaves in a specific desirable way over time. For example, we may want the speed of a car on the highway to remain as close as possible to 60 miles per hour in spite of possible hills or adverse wind; or we may want an aircraft to follow a desired altitude, heading, and velocity profile independent of wind gusts; or we may want the temperature and pressure in a reactor vessel in a chemical process plant to be maintained at desired levels. All these are being accomplished today by control methods and the above are examples of what automatic control systems are designed to do, without human intervention. Control is used whenever quantities such as speed, altitude, temperature, or voltage must be made to behave in some desirable way over time. This section provides an introduction to control system design methods. P.A., Z.G.

    SEMINAR ON CYBERNETICS & CYBORGS PREPARED BY, JAZEEL J COMPUTER ENGINEERING REG.NO:87130025 NO:22 CENTRAL POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE VATTIYOORKAVU,TVPM CONTENTS INTRODUCTION REAL LIFE CYBORGS ROBOTS & CYBORGS TYPES OF CYBORGS LATEST DEVELOPMENTS APPLICATIONS OF CYBORGS DEMERITS PHOTO GALLERY CONCLUSION INTRODUCTION Cybernetics is the interdisciplinary study of the structure of the regulatory system. Cybernetics is closely related to control theory and system theory. Contemporary cybernetics began as an interdisciplinary study connecting the fields of control systems, electrical network theory, mechanical engineering, logic model, evolutionary biology, neuroscience etc., Cyborgs are originated from the concept of cybernetics, which is referred as a mixture of both organism and the technology. When an organism is half human and half machine then we call them CYBORG. The whole process of becoming a Cyborg is known as Cyborgation. Among the Cyborgs living today Dr. Kevin Warwick heads the Cybernetics Department at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom and has taken the first steps on this path, using himself as a guinea pig test subject receiving, by surgical operation, technological implants connected to his central nervous system. The world's first cyborg was a white lab rat, part of an experimental program at New York's Rockland State Hospital in the late 1950s. The rat had implanted in its body a tiny osmotic pump that injected precisely controlled doses of chemicals, altering several of its physiological parameters. It was part animal, part machine. REAL LIFE CYBORGS Cyborgs are Cybernetic Organisms. The term was coined in 1960’s when Manfred Clynes and Nathan used it in an article about the advantages of self- regulating human-machine systems in outer space.

  • An Analysis of Reader Identification
    A World with Two Moons: An Analysis of Reader Identification Presented to the Faculty Liberty University School of Communication In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Master of Arts in Communication By Paul J. Watson April 28, 2010 Watson i Thesis Committee William Mullen, Ph.D., Chairman Date Michael P. Graves, Ph.D. Date Carey Martin, Ph.D. Date Watson ii Copyright © 2010 Paul J. Watson All Rights Reserved Watson iii Abstract Utilizing Kenneth Burke’s theory of Identitification, this study seeks to understand if readers of a literary work of fiction were or were not able to identify with it according to the way Burke describes identification. The study uses Paul J. Watson’s Protect: A World’s Fight Against Evil as the literary work upon which qualitative surveys were conducted. Five general respondents and two expert readers took the survey, which asked questions regarding the novel. Through analysis and the comparing and contrasting of these respondents’ answers, conclusions were reached in regards to whether or not identification occurred between the readers and the novel and whether or not readers identified with the author’s intended central theme. Key Words: Identification, Burke, novel, survey, and qualitative. Watson iv Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank my thesis committee: Dr. William Mullen for his continuous support and willingness to help, no matter how impromptu the meetings or how long they lasted, and Dr. Carey Martin and Dr. Michael Graves for agreeing to serve as readers on my committee. Each of these professors already have much to do and many students to work with, so the fact that they devoted so much time to me causes me to remain grateful.

  • A Meta-Theory of Command & Control in Emergency Management
    Grant A meta-theory of C2 in EM A Meta-theory of Command & Control in Emergency Management Tim Grant Retired But Active Researcher (R-BAR) [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper presents work in progress on developing a meta-theory of C2 in emergency management. Most research in C2 focuses just on one or two scientific disciplines. Just one paper has been found that gives a systematic overview of the science of C2. The approach taken employs entity-relationship modelling, yielding a set of scientific disciplines. These disciplines are compared with five military C2 doctrine publications. Doctrine found in at least four publications corresponded to the disciplines of decision theory, leadership theory, organizational theory, psychology, and the degree of delegation. Some topics not covered by the disciplines were found, indicating that analysis should be extended to C2 processes, resilience, and agility, permitting the development of guidance for practitioners. Further work is needed to compare the disciplines with civilian doctrine. Moreover, the disciplines could be compared to ICCRTS and ISCRAM conference proceedings, yielding an assessment of the maturity of C2 research. Keywords Command and control, doctrine, meta-theory, scientific discipline, entity-relationship modelling. INTRODUCTION Command & Control (C2) is seminally defined as “the exercise of authority and direction by a properly designated commander over assigned and attached forces in the accomplishment of the mission” (JP1-02, 2016). The overwhelming majority of the C2 literature is to be found in the military domain. As ISCRAM’s C2 Studies track shows, C2 is also an essential element of emergency management (EM). Other application domains share ideas with C2, but give it another name, e.g.
