Learning Tracking Control for Cyber-Physical Systems

This paper investigates the problem of optimal tracking control for cyber-physical systems (CPS) when the cyber realm is attacked by denial-of-service (DoS) attacks which can prevent the control signal transmitting to the actuator. Attention is focused on how to design the optimal tracking control scheme without using the system dynamics and...

Integrating multi-functional space and long-span structure in the early design stage of indoor sports arenas by using parametric modelling and multi-objective optimization

Indoor multi-functional sports arenas are a complex building type. Integration of the (multi-) functional space and of the large-span structure of the roof mainly determines the overall geometry of the building, and is one of the most challenging phases of the design. Several interdisciplinary numeric assessments and numerous solutions with...

Integrating the Multi-Functional Space and Long-Span Structure for Sports Arena Design: A design exploration process based on design optimization and self-organizing map

The multi-functional space of sports arena is highly related to the long-span structure. To support the integration of these two aspects, design optimization combining parametric modeling, performance simulations, and searching algorithm can be used. However, optimization is powerful in dealing with quantitative performance, but for some soft...

A Parametric Modelling Process for the Integration of Architecture and Structure in Large Multi-functional Sports Hall Design: a Case Study

The integration of architectural (functional spaces) and structural design is especially crucial for the conceptual design of large multi-functional sports halls, due to the strict regulations for functional spaces, the requirement of large-span structure, and the complex interrelationships between these two aspects. This on-going research aims...
