    Khawaja Tahir Mehmood1,2,*, Shahid Atiq1, Intisar Ali Sajjad3, Muhammad Majid Hussain4, Malik M. Abdul Basit2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.141, No.2, pp. 1673-1708, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.053903 - 27 September 2024

    Abstract Software-Defined Networking (SDN), with segregated data and control planes, provides faster data routing, stability, and enhanced quality metrics, such as throughput (Th), maximum available bandwidth (Bd(max)), data transfer (DTransfer), and reduction in end-to-end delay (D(E-E)). This paper explores the critical work of deploying SDN in large­scale Data Center Networks (DCNs) to enhance its Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, using logically distributed control configurations. There is a noticeable increase in Delay(E-E) when adopting SDN with a unified (single) control structure in big DCNs to handle Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests causing a reduction in network quality parameters (Bd(max), Th, DTransfer, D(E-E),… More > Graphic Abstract

    X. Tao1, Jian Jiang2

    Revista Internacional de Métodos Numéricos para Cálculo y Diseño en Ingeniería, Vol.40, No.1, pp. 1-9, 2024, DOI:10.23967/j.rimni.2024.03.002 - 19 March 2024

    Abstract In this paper, a class of nonlinear system with mismatched disturbance and actuator failure is investigated. A disturbance observer is proposed to estimate the disturbance first and the error of the estimation converges to zero exponentially. By introducing an integral sliding mode surface, the disturbance observer based integral sliding mode fault tolerant control scheme is proposed to attenuate the disturbance and to guarantee the stability of the system. Specially, the control law is designed for decoupling the partial disturbance and attenuating the disturbance that cannot be decoupled. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate the More >

    Yuwei Xu, Baokang Zhao*, Huan Zhou, Jinshu Su

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.141, No.1, pp. 609-629, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.053462 - 20 August 2024

    Abstract The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) applications has raised significant concerns about user privacy, prompting the development of privacy-preserving machine learning (ML) paradigms such as federated learning (FL). FL enables the distributed training of ML models, keeping data on local devices and thus addressing the privacy concerns of users. However, challenges arise from the heterogeneous nature of mobile client devices, partial engagement of training, and non-independent identically distributed (non-IID) data distribution, leading to performance degradation and optimization objective bias in FL training. With the development of 5G/6G networks and the integration of cloud computing… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.140, No.1, pp. 305-323, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.047899 - 16 April 2024

    Abstract The Rotary Inverted Pendulum (RIP) is a widely used underactuated mechanical system in various applications such as bipedal robots and skyscraper stabilization where attitude control presents a significant challenge. Despite the implementation of various control strategies to maintain equilibrium, optimally tuning control gains to effectively mitigate uncertain nonlinearities in system dynamics remains elusive. Existing methods frequently rely on extensive experimental data or the designer’s expertise, presenting a notable drawback. This paper proposes a novel tracking control approach for RIP, utilizing a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) in combination with a reduced-order observer. Initially, the RIP system More >

    Yujie Duan1, Jianguo Liang1,*, Jianglin Liu1, Haifeng Gao1, Yinhui Li2, Jinzhu Zhang1, Xinyu Wen3

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.2, pp. 1239-1261, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.044400 - 29 January 2024

    Abstract In the fiber winding process, strong disturbance, uncertainty, strong coupling, and fiber friction complicate the winding constant tension control. In order to effectively reduce the influence of these problems on the tension output, this paper proposed a tension fluctuation rejection strategy based on feedforward compensation. In addition to the bias harmonic curve of the unknown state, the tension fluctuation also contains the influence of bounded noise. A tension fluctuation observer (TFO) is designed to cancel the uncertain periodic signal, in which the frequency generator is used to estimate the critical parameter information. Then, the fluctuation More >
