Modelling and robust stability analysis of uncertain systems (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sumsurooah, S., Odavic, M., & Boroyevich, D. (2013, July). Modelling and robust stability analysis of uncertain systems. Presented at SummerSim '13: 2013 Summer Simulation Multiconference, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

The advantage of designing systems based on their uncertain system models is that this approach takes into account some perturbation effects such as system parameter variations that can occur in their physical plants. Two different approaches to unce... Read More about Modelling and robust stability analysis of uncertain systems.

Using adaptive architecture to probe attitudes towards ubiquitous monitoring (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
