Technol. and Eng., University of Ottawa, 800 King Edward Ave., Ottawa, Ont. K1N 6N5, Canadaemail: frezaei@site.uottawa.ca, 2004)
      This paper is concerned with nonlinear stochastic uncertain relaxed controlled difussions, in which the pay-off is described by the relative entropy between the nominal measure and the uncertain measure, when the uncertain ...

      Optimization of stochastic uncertain systems with variational norm constraints 

      Rezaei, F.; Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Ahmed, N. U. (2007)
      This paper considers optimization of stochastic uncertain systems on general abstract spaces, when the uncertainty of the system is described by a variational norm constraint. The pay-off is defined as a linear functional ...

      Power control in wireless systems: A stochastic control formulation 

      Huang, M.; Caines, P. E.; Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Malhamé, R. P. (2001)
      This paper considers power control for log-normal fading channels. A rate based power set point control model and an associated performance measure are introduced. Within this framework, a unique stochastic optimal power ...

      Quantization of FIR Filters Under a Total Integer Cost Constraint 

      Llorens, A. J.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Ni, H. C. (2005)
      In this paper, we present computationally efficient algorithms for obtaining a particular class of optimal quantized representations of finite-impulse response (FIR) filters. We consider a scenario where each quantization ...

      Robust control of a class of feedback systems subject to limited capacity constraints 

      Farhadi, A.; Charalambous, Charalambos D. (2007)
      In this paper we are concerned with uniform mean square reliable data reconstruction and robust stability for a class of dynamical systems over Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels, subject to the limited capacity ...

      Stochastic testing of finite state machines 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2001)
      This paper discusses an approach that uses statistical observations about the steady-state behavior of a finite state machine (FSM) in order to detect and identify permanent failures in its state transition mechanism. The ...

      Stochastic uncertain systems subject to relative entropy constraints: Induced norms and monotonicity properties of minimax games 

      Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Rezaei, F. (2007)
      Entropy and relative entropy are fundamental concepts on which information theory is founded on, and in general, telecommunication systems design. On the other hand, dissipation inequalities, minimax strategies, and induced ...

      Symbolic schedulability analysis of real-time systems 

      Kwak, Hee-Hwan; Lee, Insup; Philippou, Anna; Choi, Jin-Young; Sokolsky, Oleg (IEEE, 1998)
      We propose a unifying method for analysis of scheduling problems in real-time systems. The method is based on ACSR-VP, a real-time process algebra with value-passing capabilities. We use ACSR-VP to describe an instance of ...

      Systematic model decoupling through assessment of power-conserving constraints - An engine dynamics case study 

      Rideout, G.; Stein, J. L.; Louca, Loucas S. (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)
      Simplified models for predicting engine mount forces have traditionally been developed based on the assumption that for a well-balanced low-speed engine, the reciprocating dynamics can be decoupled from the three-dimensional ...

      Temporal planning through mixed integer programming: A preliminary report 

      Dimopoulos, Yannis; Gerevini, A. (2002)
      Temporal planning is an important problem, as in many real world planning domains actions have different durations and the goals should be achieved by a specified deadline, or as soon as possible. This paper presents a ...
