Dr. Brett Ninness Uni. Mr. Thomas Brinsmead Uni. Dr. Hans Zwart Uni. This seminar will cover the basic principles of subspace identification. The case when time domain data is treated as well as when the primary data are from the frequency domain, i.e. samples of the transfer function or samples of the Fourier transforms of the input and output.
Examples are manufacturing systems, traffic systems and service systems generally.
Modelling and control of such systems can encounter major problems of state explosion. This has prompted the consideration of decentralized, hierarchical and heterarchical architectures in an effort to find ways of managing DES control complexity. The talk is an informal account for nonspecialists of some current research in this direction. This arrangement of controllers into a control system may be called a control architecture. In manufacturing systems, different control architectures have different attributes with respect to properties like efficiency, reliability, and modifiability.
