This paper presents a methodology embodying identification procedures, uncertain modeling, and robust control design of embedded multivariable control systems. Concerning the identification, this methodology involved the determination of probabilistic uncertainty bounds for multivariable plants based on the black box or gray box identification. The bounds obtained were used in the derivation of an uncertain model in the form of upper Linear Fractional Transformation (LFT). This model was used in the robust control design implementing μ-synthesis. The problems arising on the different design stages were illustrated by an example presenting the embedded robust control of a two-input two-output analog model. The plant was identified by using black box and gray box identification methods that produced the necessary information to develop the corresponding uncertainty models. Two discrete-time robust controllers relevant to the two types of identification were designed and embedded in the physical system. Simulation results for the embedded closed-loop system and experimental results obtained by using the robust controllers were compared.

AbstractThe recognition of twinning and the determination of the twin laws are nowadays often entrusted to "black-box" software packages. This approach may be both risky and uneconomical. It is risky because never a procedure should be blindly applied. It is uneconomical if procrastinates the analysis of twinning at the very late stage of structure solution and refinement, whereas in many cases this analysis can and should be applied much earlier. In this paper we present a brief survey of the working strategies to be applied to the structural study of twinned crystals, emphasizing the role of the crystallographer, rather than that of the machine.

Construction of Non-Habitable Homes (RTLH) is a government program managed by thesupervision of the Social Service (Dinas Sosial) in the form of housing construction assistancefunds for the poor. In its realization, assistance is still often found to be lacking on target. It isbecause the determination of beneficiaries is not correctly selected, and there are no standardmethods based on existing criteria. These problems require a system that can providerecommendations that conform to clear standards and use techniques that accounted. FuzzySimple Additive Weighting (SAW) method is one method used in decision making. This methodcalculates criteria to get ranking weights to support decision making. The process of selectingcriteria and determining fuzzy variables carried out as a primary process in this method. Afterthe fuzzification weight value obtained, ranking done to use as a reference in the decision makingof recipients. Based on the results of manual testing, the system made is under the effects ofmanual calculations with a level of accuracy reaching 100%, so that implemented as a basis formaking decisions. While testing, the black box system found that all the requirements tested canrun following the overall system functionality. With this recommendation system, it can help thedecision to find the recipients of the Fund for Non-Occupable Homes Construction Assistanceso that it is more targeted.

Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) of pavements is a process for evaluating total economic worth of a usable project segment by analyzing initial costs and discounted future costs, such as those for maintenance, reconstruction, rehabilitation, and resurfacing. One of the most important ingredients in the LCCA process, at either a network level or a project level, is the determination of road user cost (RUC) during maintenance and rehabilitation operations. RUC models are also important in contracting strategies, which take into account time for a project to be completed for award and payment. Methods used to date to determine RUC are exclusively analytical in nature. Microscopic estimates of traffic are used to determine RUC. CORSIM, a microscopic traffic simulation program developed by FHWA, was used for this research. Models for additional travel time, added fuel consumption, and RUC for standard two-to-one lane closure scenarios are presented.
