Ma, X (author), Kato, Y (author), Hirai, Y (author), van Kempen, F.C.M. (author), van Keulen, A. (author), Tsuchiya, T (author), Tabata, O (author)Digital Micromirror Device (DMD)-based grayscale lithography is a promising tool for three dimensional (3D) microstructuring of thick-film photoresist since it is a maskless process, provides possibility for the free-form of 3D microstructures, and therefore rapid and cost-effective microfabrication. However, process parameter determination...conference paper 2015

Hoogland, J. (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author), la Poutré, J.A. (author)Motivated by the energy domain, we examine a risk-averse buyer that has to purchase a fixed quantity of a continuous good. The buyer has two opportunities to buy: now or later. The buyer can spread the quantity over the two timeslots in any way, as long as the total quantity remains the same. The current price is known, but the future price...conference paper 2015

Wang, M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Daamen, W. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Happee, R. (author)This contribution puts forward a flexible approach to model the decision-making or design controller for automated driving systems, where tactical-level lane change decisions and control-level accelerations are jointly evaluated based on iteratively solving an online optimization problem. The key idea is that automated vehicles determine lane...conference paper 2016

Xu, J. (author), van den Boom, A.J.J. (author), Busoniu, L (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)This paper considers model predictive control for continuous piecewise affine (PWA) systems. In general, this leads to a nonlinear, nonconvex optimization problem. We introduce an approach based on optimistic optimization to solve the resulting optimization problem. Optimistic optimization is based on recursive partitioning of the feasible set...conference paper 2016

Baldi, S. (author), Kosmatopoulos, Elias B. (author), Pitsillides, Andreas (author), Lestas, Marios (author), Ioannou, Petros A. (author), Wan, Y. (author)An adaptive decentralized strategy for active queue management of TCP flows over communication networks is presented. The proposed strategy solves locally, at each link, an optimal control problem, minimizing a cost composed of residual capacity and buffer queue size. The solution of the optimal control problem exploits an adaptive...conference paper 2016

Baldi, S. (author)This work proposes an iterative procedure for static output feedback of polynomial systems based on Sum-of-Squares optimization. Necessary and sufficient conditions for static output feedback stabilization of polynomial systems are formulated, both for the global and for the local stabilization case. Since the proposed conditions are bilinear...conference paper 2016

Zhang, Fan (author), Chen, Y. (author), Goni Ros, B. (author), GAO, Jian (author), Knoop, V.L. (author)Traffic congestion leads to delays and increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Traffic management measures such as providing information on environmental route costs have been proposed to mitigate congestion. Multi-criteria routing dynamic traffic assignment (MCR-DTA) models are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of such measures. This paper...conference paper 2016
