Fuzzy Control and Modeling: Analytical Foundations and Applications, 1st edition
Authors: Hao Ying
Venue:  (2000)

:"The emerging, powerful fuzzy control paradigm has led to the worldwide success of countless commercial products and real-world applications. Fuzzy control is exceptionally practical and cost-effective due to its unique ability to accomplish tasks without knowing the mathematical model of the system, even if it is nonlinear, time varying and complex. Nevertheless, compared with the conventional control technology, most fuzzy control applications are developed in an ad hoc manner with little analytical understanding and without rigorous system analysis and design.Fuzzy Control and Modeling is the only book that establishes the analytical foundations for fuzzy control and modeling in relation to the conventional linear and nonlinear theories of control and systems. The coverage is up-to-date, comprehensive, in-depth and rigorous. Numeric examples and applications illustrate the utility of the theoretical development. In the forward to Fuzzy Control and Modeling, Professor Lotfi Zadeh, the founder of fuzzy logic, declares:Professor Yings book contains much that is new, important and detailed . His linkage of basic theory to real-world applications is very impressive . The last chapter in the book deals with a subject in which Professor Ying is a foremost authority, namely, application of fuzzy control to biomedical systems. Professor Yings work should go a long way toward countering the view that fuzzy control is a collection of applications without a solid theory. The deep theory of fuzzy control developed by Professor Ying is of great importance both as a theory and as a foundation for major advances in applications of fuzzy control in industry, biomedicine, and otherfields.Important topics discussed include: *Structures of fuzzy controllers/models with respect to conventional fuzzy controllers/models* Analysis of fuzzy control and modeling in relation to their classical counterparts*Stability analysis of fuzzy systems and design of fuzzy control systems*Sufficient and necessary conditions on fuzzy systems as universal approximators*Real-time fuzzy control systems for treatment of life-critical problems in biomedicineFuzzy Control and Modeling is a self-contained, invaluable resource for professionals and students in diverse technical fields who aspire to analytically study fuzzy control and modeling.About the AuthorHao Ying left the faculty of University of Texas Medical Branch in 2000, and is currently an associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Wayne State University. He began fuzzy control research in 1981. In 1987, Dr. Ying established the worlds first analytical connection between a fuzzy controller and a conventional controller. In 1989, he developed the worlds first clinical fuzzy control application  real-time control of blood pressure. Dr. Ying has been making systematic contributions to analytical issues fundamental to fuzzy control and systems ever since."Sponsored by:IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

Lagrangian Quadrature Schemes for Computing Weak Solutions of Quantum Stochastic Differential Equations
Authors: E. O. Ayoola
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

Lagrangian quadrature schemes for computing weak solutions of Lipschitzian quantum stochastic differential equations are introduced and studied. This is accomplished within the framework of the Hudson--Parthasarathy formulation of quantum stochastic calculus and subject to matrix elements of solution being sufficiently differentiable. Results concerning convergence of these schemes in the topology of the locally convex space of solution are presented. Numerical examples are given.
Applying caT's programmable browsing semantics to specify world-wide web documents that reflect place, time, reader, and community
Authors: Richard Furuta, Jin-Cheon Na
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Document engineering (2002)

In this paper we discuss application of caT, which extends the Trellis Petri-net-based model of document/hypertext, towards specification of Web-browsable documents that respond to their reader's characteristics, browsing activities, use environment, and interactions with other readers. The Petri net basis provides both a graphical representation of the nodes and links in the hypertext and also an automaton-based specification of the browsing behaviors encountered by readers examining the hypertext. Providing Web-browsable responsive hypertexts in the caT context requires consideration of the structures that might be designed in support of the application and also of the mechanism for translating from caT's custom interfaces' multi-window presentation to a composite that can be viewed using a standard Web browser.
Exploiting memory affinity in OpenMP through schedule reuse
Authors: D. S. Nikolopoulos, E. Artiaga, E. Ayguadé, J. Labarta
Venue: ACM SIGARCH Computer Architecture News (2001)

In this paper we explore the idea of reusing loop schedules to improve the scalability of numerical codes in shared-memory architectures with non-uniform memory access. The main objective is to implicitly construct affinity links between threads and data accesses and reuse them as much as possible along the execution of the program. These links are created through the definition and reuse of iteration schedules which are either defined statically by the user or created dynamically at run time. The paper does not include a formal proposal of OpenMP extensions but includes some experiments showing the usefulness of constructing affinity links in both regular and irregular codes.

A universal relation database system implemented via the network model
Authors: Sharon McCure Kuck, Yehoshua Sagiv
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1982)

We describe a network schema design algorithm that uses a well-designed relational schema as input. The resulting network database handles incomplete information, since we use only the modified foreign-key constraint and not the universal instance assumption. We believe that the representative instance is a correct representation of information stored in the database. We show how to map the representative instance to the network database. We give two algorithms for translating a relational query to a network application program. The first algorithm is confined to relational queries that express selections and projections over the universal relation scheme. The second algorithm includes all relational queries over select, project and (natural) join. Optimization techniques are discussed for both types of translation.
Variational Problems with Nonconvex, Noncoercive, Highly Discontinuous Integrands: Characterization and Existence of Minimizers
Authors: Cristina Marcelli
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

We consider the functional $F(v)=\int_a^b f(t,v^\prime(t)) dt $ in ${\cal H}_p=\{ v\in W^{1,p}: v(a)=0, v(b)=d\}$, $p\in [1,+\infty]$. Under only the assumption that the integrand is ${\cal L}\otimes {\cal B}_n$-measurable, we prove characterizations of strong and weak minimizers both in terms of the minimizers of the relaxed functional and by means of the Euler--Lagrange inclusion.As an application, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the minimum, expressed in terms of a limitation on the width of the slope d.

Enhancing loop buffering of media and telecommunications applications using low-overhead predication
Authors: John W. Sias, Hillery C. Hunter, Wen-mei W. Hwu
Venue: Proceedings of the 34th annual ACM/IEEE international symposium on Microarchitecture (2001)

Media- and telecommunications-focused processors, increasingly designed as deeply pipelined, statically-scheduled VLIWs, rely on loop buffers for low-overhead execution of simple loops. Key loops containing control flow pose a substantial problem---full predication has a high encoding overhead, and partial predication techniques do not support if-conversion, the transformation of general acyclic control flow into predicated blocks. Using a set of significant media processing benchmarks, drawn from MediaBench and contemporary telecommunications standards, we explore a compromise approach. We demonstrate a compiler using if-conversion and specialized loop transformations to arrange for 70-99% of fetched operations to come from a simple, statically managed 256-instruction loop buffer, saving instruction fetch power and eliminating branch penalties. To complement this we introduce a "niche" form of predication specialized to permit general if-conversion with only a single bit in the encoding of each operation and to eliminate much of the hardware overhead of a predicate register-based approach.
Error Analysis of the Kmetz/Maenner Algorithm
Authors: M. Arnold, T. Bailey, J. Cowles
Venue: Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems (2002)

Use of low-precision logarithms can minimize power consumption and increase the speed of multiply-intensive signal-processing systems, such as FIR filters. Although straight table lookup is the most obvious way to compute the logarithm, Maenner claims to have discovered a technique that produces four extra bits at no cost. We analyze Maenner&apos;s technique and show that in fact the technique provides only one extra bit of precision. A related technique by Kmetz, which has never been analyzed before, is shown here to be more accurate than Maenner&apos;s. We compare these techniques to the more complex bipartite technique, and show that Kmetz&apos;s technique takes less memory for systems requiring fewer than ten bits of precision.

Optimization Case Studies in the NEOS Guide
Authors: Joseph Czyzyk, Timothy Wisniewski, Stephen J. Wright
Venue: SIAM Review (1999)

We describe several of the case studies in the NEOS Guide, a site on the World Wide Web that contains informational and educational material about optimization. These studies show how optimization relates to practical applications. They guide the user through relevant details of the application, formulation, solution, and interpretation of the results. The studies use interactivity to build intuition, allowing users to define their own problems and examine the corresponding solutions. The studies can be used for assignments in optimization and operations research courses and as small self-guided units equivalent to one or two lecture classes.
