In this paper we discuss some initial results on the adaptive tracking of MIMO nonlinear systems which do not have a well defined vector relative degree. First, we consider systems that are right-invertible with linear ...

We present a direct adaptive tracking control scheme for nonlinear systems that do not have a well defined (vector) relative degree and hence are not feedback linearizable. This techniques uses feedback and coordinate ...

We develop an algorithm based on Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis for online optimization of a multi-product service facility composed of a network of multi-server machines, modeled using multi-class M/M/m queues. ...

In this paper we present a reactive operations scheduling methodology for online control of manufacturing systems. We present description of the Texas Instruments electronic circuit board assembly unit at Johnson City, TN, ...

We present a technique of indirect adaptive control for approximate linearization of nonlinear systems based on approximate input-output linearization scheme recently proposed in [HSK92]. The controller can achieve adaptive ...

A scheduling software was developed for general job shop scheduling. It was implemented at a Texas Instruments electronic circuit board assembly facility. The assembly line scheduling problem is presented as an optimization ...
