2. 1. Distributed Optimization and Control : Primal--Dual, Online, and Event-Triggered Algorithms

   Author : Xinlei Yi; Karl H. Johansson; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; John S. Baras; Antonis Papachristodoulou; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Distributed nonconvex optimization; distributed online convex optimization; distributed event-triggered control; primal-dual algorithm; stochastic gradient descent; zeroth-order algorithm; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : In distributed optimization and control, each network node performs local computation based on its own information and information received from its neighbors through a communication network to achieve a global objective. Although many distributed optimization and control algorithms have been proposed, core theoretical problems with important practical relevance remain. READ MORE

4. 2. Data-Rich Multivariable Control of Heavy-Duty Engines

   Author : Maria Henningsson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Multivariable Control; Model Predictive Control; LQG Control; Virtual Sensing; System Identification; Diesel engines; HCCI engines; Dual-Fuel Combustion; Cylinder Pressure Sensors;

   Abstract : The combustion engine is today the dominant technology for transportation of goods and people world-wide. Concerns for global warming, toxic exhaust emissions, as well as cost and availability of fuel have in recent years created incentives for technological evolution of combustion engines. READ MORE

5. 3. Enabling and Coercive Control : Coexistence in the Case of Banking

   Author : Cecilia Ekström; Tobias Johansson; Gabriella Wennblom; Magnus Hansson; Anders Hersinger; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Enabling control; coercive control; coexistence of control; attitudinal outcomes of control; management control; regulation; banking;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on subjects of control and attitudinal outcomes of formalized control in organizations. Previous research have concluded contradicting results of whether formalized control is positive or negative for the employees and propose that not only degree of formalization, but also type of formalization, can explain attitudinal outcomes.

6. 4. Integer Quadratic Programming for Control and Communication

   Author : Daniel Axehill; Anders Hansson; Manfred Morari; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Integer Quadratic Programming; Model Predictive Control; Hybrid Systems; Semidefinite Programming; Code Division Multiple Access; Multiuser Detection; Automatic Control; Communication; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

   Abstract : The main topic of this thesis is integer quadratic programming with applications to problems arising in the areas of automatic control and communication. One of the most widespread modern control methods is Model Predictive Control (MPC). In each sampling time, MPC requires the solution of a Quadratic Programming (QP) problem. READ MORE

7. 5. Gear engagement control for transmissions in hybrid electric vehicles

   Author : Muddassar Piracha; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Noise and wear minimization; Dog Clutch; Hybrid Powertrain; Optimal control; LQI control; Mechanical Synchronizers; Dedicated Hybrid Transmission; Gear shifting; Drivability; Dual Clutch Transmission; Electric Powertrain; Phase plane analysis;

   Abstract : Hybrid and electric vehicles have become very important for vehicle manufacturers due to stricter legislation, government incentives and customers’ growing awareness of the environmental issues. For conventional vehicles, Dual clutch transmissions (DCT) have better shift quality and efficiency than conventional automatic transmissions. READ MORE
