This paper presents a performance-regulation method for a class of stochastic timed event-driven systems aimed at output tracking of a given reference setpoint. The systems are either Discrete Event Dynamic Systems (DEDS) such as queueing networks or Petri nets, or Hybrid Systems (HS) with time-driven dynamics and event-driven dynamics, like fluid queues and hybrid Petri nets. The regulator, designed for simplicity and speed of computation, is comprised of a single integrator having a variable gain to ensure effective tracking under time-varying plants. The gains computation is based on the Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis (IPA) gradient of the plant function with respect to the control variable, and the resultant tracking can be quite robust with respect to modeling inaccuracies and gradient-estimation errors. The proposed technique is tested on examples taken from various application areas and modeled with different formalisms, including queueing models, Petri-net model of a production-inventory control system, and a stochastic DEDS model of a multicore chip control. Simulation results are presented in support of the proposed approach.

This paper presents a new approach to congestion management at traffic-light intersections. The approach is based on controlling the relative lengths of red/green cycles in order to have the congestion level track a given reference. It uses an integr
al control with adaptive gains, designed to provide fast tracking and wide stability margins. The gains are inverse-proportional to the derivative of the plant-function with respect to the control parameter, and are computed by infinitesimal perturbation analysis. Convergence of this technique is shown to be robust with respect to modeling uncertainties, computing errors, and other random effects. The framework is presented in the setting of stochastic hybrid systems, and applied to a particular traffic-light model. This is but an initial study and hence the latter model is simple, but it captures some of the salient features of traffic-light processes. The paper concludes with comments on possible extensions of the proposed approach to traffic-light grids with realistic flow models.
We present a flow-control technique in traffic-light intersections, aiming at regulating queue lengths to given reference setpoints. The technique is based on multivariable integrators with adaptive gains, computed at each control cycle by assessing
the IPA gradients of the plant functions. Moreover, the IPA gradients are computable on-line despite the absence of detailed models of the traffic flows. The technique is applied to a two-intersection system where it exhibits robustness with respect to modeling uncertainties and computing errors, thereby permitting us to simplify the on-line computations perhaps at the expense of accuracy while achieving the desired tracking. We compare, by simulation, the performance of a centralized, joint two-intersection control with distributed control of each intersection separately, and show similar performance of the two control schemes for a range of parameters.
This paper proposes a data-driven framework to solve time-varying optimization problems associated with unknown linear dynamical systems. Making online control decisions to regulate a dynamical system to the solution of an optimization problem is a c
entral goal in many modern engineering applications. Yet, the available methods critically rely on a precise knowledge of the system dynamics, thus mandating a preliminary system identification phase before a controller can be designed. In this work, we leverage results from behavioral theory to show that the steady-state transfer function of a linear system can be computed from data samples without any knowledge or estimation of the system model. We then use this data-driven representation to design a controller, inspired by a gradient-descent optimization method, that regulates the system to the solution of a convex optimization problem, without requiring any knowledge of the time-varying disturbances affecting the model equation. Results are tailored to cost functions satisfy the Polyak-L ojasiewicz inequality.
This paper presents a new method for solving a class of nonlinear optimal control problems with a quadratic performance index. In this method, first the original optimal control problem is transformed into a nonlinear two-point boundary value problem
(TPBVP) via the Pontryagins maximum principle. Then, using the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) and introducing a convex homotopy in topologic space, the nonlinear TPBVP is transformed into a sequence of linear time-invariant TPBVPs. By solving the presented linear TPBVP sequence in a recursive manner, the optimal control law and the optimal trajectory are determined in the form of infinite series. Finally, in order to obtain an accurate enough sub-optimal control law, an iterative algorithm with low computational complexity is introduced. An illustrative example demonstrates the simplicity and efficiency of proposed method.
This paper proposes a novel framework for resource-aware control design termed performance-barrier-based triggering. Given a feedback policy, along with a Lyapunov function certificate that guarantees its correctness, we examine the problem of design
ing its digital implementation through event-triggered control while ensuring a prescribed performance is met and triggers occur as sparingly as possible. Our methodology takes into account the performance residual, i.e., how well the system is doing in regards to the prescribed performance. Inspired by the notion of control barrier function, the trigger design allows the certificate to deviate from monotonically decreasing, with leeway specified as an increasing function of the performance residual, resulting in greater flexibility in prescribing update times. We study different types of performance specifications, with particular attention to quantifying the benefits of the proposed approach in the exponential case. We build on this to design intrinsically Zeno-free distributed triggers for network systems. A comparison of event-triggered approaches in a vehicle platooning problem shows how the proposed design meets the prescribed performance with a significantly lower number of controller updates.
