  Calculus of variations and optimal control theory: a concise introduction
Liberzon D.,  PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS, Princeton, NJ, 2011. 256 pp. Type: Book (978-0-691151-87-8)

Control systems are increasingly pervasive, and an increasing number of applications are being found for automated control. Naturally, one wishes for such controllers to be the best in some sense (for example, minimum cost, either financially or...

  Snake robots: modelling, mechatronics, and control
Liljebäck P., Pettersen K., Stavdahl Ø., Gravdahl J.,  Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, London, UK, 2012. 334 pp. Type: Book (978-1-447129-95-0)

Typically the kinds of robots employed in applications include manipulator robots, wheeled mobile robots, and even humanoid robots. However, little is known about snake robots. Although the first snake robot dates back to 1972 (the ACM III robot...

  Delay optimal event detection on ad hoc wireless sensor networks
Karumbu P., Prasanthi V., Kumar A.  ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks 8(2): 1-35, 2012. Type: Article

This paper considers data fusion in ad hoc wireless sensor networks with event detection. Nodes periodically take samples and report their measurements to the fusion center by contention. Two procedures are investigated: network oblivious...

  1 adaptive control theory: guaranteed robustness with fast adaptation
Hovakimyan N., Cao C.,  Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Philadelphia, PA, 2010. 340 pp. Type: Book (978-0-898717-04-4)

Adaptive controls were inspired and created for flight controls in the 1950s. Adaptive control theory is concerned with modification of the control laws based on time-varying parameters, such as change in the overall mass of an airplane as it...

   Primer on optimal control theory
Speyer J., Jacobson D.,  Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Philadelphia, PA, 2010. 321 pp. Type: Book (978-0-898716-94-8)

Though a large number of us who are practitioners of computation were enthusiastically “digitized” decades ago, those in science and engineering in particular continue to find indispensable guidance from classical control theory. As...

  Essentials of control techniques and theory
Billingsley J.,  CRC Press, Inc., Boca Raton, FL, 2009. 339 pp. Type: Book (978-1-420091-23-6)

I believe it was the great mathematician Henri Lebesgue who said that a teacher’s duty is “to think out loud at the blackboard.” Among this book’s several strengths is just this expository spirit and style. For example,...

  Springer handbook of automation
Nof S.,  Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2009. 1812 pp. Type: Book (9783540788300)

The beginning of the era of mechanization has seen the use of machines in manufacturing processes, causing the need for human control and intervention to lessen or even cease. Automation uses control systems together with information technology...

  Structure of service level agreements (SLA) in IT outsourcing: the construct and its measurement
Goo J.  Information Systems Frontiers 12(2): 185-205, 2010. Type: Article

The author takes the view that a service-level agreement (SLA) is more than a contract between two parties that lays out the responsibilities of each party, the deliverables, the schedules, the payment method, the penalties, and the rewards. It...
