An Integral Framework For Realising Control During Cloud Transition

Digitisation of businesses and keeping up with technological trends has become a pivotal factor for organisations to remain competent in the current market. Owing to the array of advantages that the Cloud offers many businesses have been moving towards cloud-based environments. A technological transition like Cloud adoption is often not...

Attitude modeling of the DelftaCopter: a system identification approach

Previous years have seen a rise in the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Reaching a large endurance and range while being able to perform Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) landings allows a broad range of applications. For this purpose the DelftaCopter (DC) was developed, a tilt-body tailsitter UAV. It hovers using a single helicopter...

The interaction between scheduling and control of semi-cyclic hybrid systems

In this paper a new iterative approach is proposed for the design of a combined real-time scheduling and control algorithm that can be applied to industrial systems that are described by a hybrid model with a (semi-)cyclic behavior. Traditionally scheduling and control problems are considered in a sequential way. First the scheduling problem...
