MIT Press Ltd Formal Methods for MultiAgent Feedback Control
Book SynopsisAn introduction to formal methods for feedback control of multi-agent systems with safety and performance guarantees.Multi-agent control systems can accomplish tasks that single-agent systems cannot address, such as aerial surveillance of large areas by a group of drones. In Formal Methods for Multi-Agent Feedback Control Systems, Lars Lindemann and Dimos Dimarogonas provide an accessible introduction to formal methods for feedback control of multi-agent systems. Their book is the first to bridge the gap between formal methods and feedback control for the scalable design of cyber-physical systems. The material covered is intended for scientists, engineers, and students, and no background in formal methods or control theory is required. The authors also highlight future research directions for those working at the intersection of formal methods and control.In control theory, the goal is to design feedback control laws for dynamical systems that achieve control objectives such as stability or forward invariance of sets. Formal methods, on the other hand, provide verification and design techniques for more complex system specifications using temporal logics. However, their high computational cost limits scaling beyond a small number of agents. Besides scalability, another central challenge is to achieve robustness in the system design. Thus, the authors focus on the design of scalable and robust feedback control algorithms for multi-agent control systems under temporal logic specifications.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Swarm Intelligence Algorithms
Book SynopsisSwarm intelligence algorithms are a form of nature-based optimization algorithms. Their main inspiration is the cooperative behavior of animals within specific communities. This can be described as simple behaviors of individuals along with the mechanisms for sharing knowledge between them, resulting in the complex behavior of the entire community. Examples of such behavior can be found in ant colonies, bee swarms, schools of fish or bird flocks.Swarm intelligence algorithms are used to solve difficult optimization problems for which there are no exact solving methods or the use of such methods is impossible, e.g. due to unacceptable computational time.This book thoroughly presents the basics of 24 algorithms selected from the entire family of swarm intelligence algorithms. Each chapter deals with a different algorithm describing it in detail and showing how it works in the form of a pseudo-code. In addition, the source code is provided for each algorithm in Matlab and in the C ++ programming language. In order to better understand how each swarm intelligence algorithm works, a simple numerical example is included in each chapter, which guides the reader step by step through the individual stages of the algorithm, showing all necessary calculations.This book can provide the basics for understanding how swarm intelligence algorithms work, and aid readers in programming these algorithms on their own to solve various computational problems.This book should also be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying nature-based optimization algorithms, and can be a helpful tool for learning the basics of these algorithms efficiently and quickly. In addition, it can be a useful source of knowledge for scientists working in the field of artificial intelligence, as well as for engineers interested in using this type of algorithms in their work.If the reader already has basic knowledge of swarm intelligence algorithms, we recommend the book: Swarm Intelligence Algorithms: Modifications and Applications (Edited by A. Slowik, CRC Press, 2020), which describes selected modifications of these algorithms and presents their practical applications.Table of Contents1. Ant Colony Optimization. 2.

In addition to practical system information, this new edition includes explanation of the basic physical principles upon which the technology is based and a consideration of the environmental and economic impact of the technology. The material covers all phases of PV systems from basic sunlight parameters to system commissioning and simulation, as well as economic and environmental impact of PV. With homework problems included in each chapter and numerous design examples of real systems, the book provides the reader with consistent opportunities to apply the information to real-world scenarios.Trade Review"The new edition of the text represents an outstanding improvement over earlier versions. I would highly recommend it to any faculty interested in teaching a course related to photovoltaic systems engineering for the following reasons: a) It represents an excellent balance of theory and practical engineering application of science, technology, and economic analysis; b) It is up-to-date on the latest technology, system components, codes and standards, and accepted design practices, c) The problem sets at the end of each chapter are well thought out and provide students with relevant needed practice necessary for developing comprehensive design knowledge and skills for a variety of PV system configurations; d) The book is extremely well organized, well written, easy to follow, and should appeal to a large segment of both student and practicing engineering populations. In short, it is an excellent engineering text on extremely important subject matter from which faculty will enjoy teaching and from which student learning will be enhanced."— Jerry Ventre, Florida Solar Energy Center (Retired), USA"This book, now in its 4th edition, is thorough, comprehensive and frequently revised, so it is up-to-date. I have always liked it, in earlier editions, for bothering to address the low profile but important aspects of photovoltaic systems that tend to be left out of other books – the mechanical engineering aspects, including mounting methods, loads and stresses and wind loading; electrical protection; standards (for USA at least); wire sizing; junction boxes; environmental impacts, etc."— Richard Corkish, University of New South Wales, Australia"I find this book to be excellent, containing both the theoretical and practical knowledge to analyze and design a wide range of solar photovoltaic systems. I am not aware of any currently available books that include such breadth and depth."— John Murray, Dine College, USA"The new edition of the text represents an outstanding improvement over earlier versions.

Filled with retro tech-industry ads, magazine covers and other commercial artworks, this erudite book takes readers on a cultural history tour that sharply reveals ‘art’s ability to touch the intangible and render it visible.’" -- John Wilwol - San Francisco Chronicle"[An] unusual and compelling study." -- Nature"An essential and eye-popping visual history of electronics, a glimpse of the electronic infrastructure captured in the brief moment before it miniaturized down to a scale too small for the eye to see, disappearing from our ordinary view forever, even as it burrowed into our buildings, streets, vehicles and even our bodies." -- Cory Doctorow coeditor of Boing Boing and author of In Real Life and Information Doesn’t Want to Be Free"A highly original cultural history of 20th-century technology examined through the lens of commercial art…. Sophisticated in its grasp of science and technological history but also accessible to general readers." -- Kirkus Reviews"A tour de force of the computer and electronic age that takes readers on a fascinating voyage that spans everything from graphic renderings of theoretical space gondolas to depictions of transistors as the route to utopia. Like Trevor Paglen’s exploration of the visual aspects of secrecy, Megan Prelinger’s Inside the Machine provides readers with a unique window into the history of electronics and computer science during the Cold War, and beyond. Merging science with art, Prelinger challenges our linear notions of scientific progress, helping us see a new dimension to our modern technological world." -- Sharon Weinberger, author of Imaginary Weapons: A Journey Through the Pentagon’s Scientific Underworld"Because electrons are mostly invisible, our visualizations of them tell us more about our dreams than about electrons.

John Wiley & Sons Inc VHDL for Logic Synthesis
Book SynopsisMaking VHDL a simple and easy-to-use hardware description language Many engineers encountering VHDL (very high speed integrated circuits hardware description language) for the first time can feel overwhelmed by it. This book bridges the gap between the VHDL language and the hardware that results from logic synthesis with clear organisation, progressing from the basics of combinational logic, types, and operators; through special structures such as tristate buses, register banks and memories, to advanced themes such as developing your own packages, writing test benches and using the full range of synthesis types. This third edition has been substantially rewritten to include the new VHDL-2008 features that enable synthesis of fixed-point and floating-point hardware. Extensively updated throughout to reflect modern logic synthesis usage, it also contains a complete case study to demonstrate the updated features. Features to this edition include: a coTable of ContentsPreface xi List of Figures xv List of Tables xvii 1 Introduction 1 1.1 The VHDL Design Cycle 1 1.2 The Origins of VHDL 2 1.3 The Standardisation Process 3 1.4 Unification of VHDL Standards 4 1.5 Portability 4 2 Register-Transfer Level Design 7 2.1 The RTL Design Stages 8 2.2 Example Circuit 8 2.3 Identify the Data Operations 10 2.4 Determine the Data Precision 12 2.5 Choose Resources to Provide 12 2.6 Allocate Operations to Resources 13 2.7 Design the Controller 14 2.8 Design the Reset Mechanism 15 2.9 VHDL Description of the RTL Design 15 2.10 Synthesis Results 16 3 Combinational Logic 19 3.1 Design Units 19 3.2 Entities and Architectures 20 3.3 Simulation Model 22 3.4 Synthesis Templates 25 3.5 Signals and Ports 27 3.6 Initial Values 29 3.7 Simple Signal Assignments 30 3.8 Conditional Signal Assignments 31 3.9 Selected Signal Assignment 33 3.10 Worked Example 34 4 Basic Types 37 4.1 Synthesisable Types 37 4.2 Standard Types 37 4.3 Standard Operators 38 4.4 Type Bit 39 4.5 Type Boolean 39 4.6 Integer Types 41 4.7 Enumeration Types 46 4.8 Multi-Valued Logic Types 47 4.9 Records 48 4.10 Arrays 49 4.11 Aggregates, Strings and Bit-Strings 53 4.12 Attributes 56 4.13 More on Selected Signal Assignments 60 5 Operators 63 5.1 The Standard Operators 63 5.2 Operator Precedence 64 5.3 Boolean Operators 70 5.4 Comparison Operators 73 5.5 Shifting Operators 76 5.6 Arithmetic Operators 79 5.7 Concatenation Operator 84 6 Synthesis Types 85 6.1 Synthesis Type System 85 6.2 Making the Packages Visible 87 6.3 Logic Types – Std_Logic_1164 90 6.4 Numeric Types – Numeric_Std 95 6.5 Fixed-Point Types – Fixed_Pkg 105 6.6 Floating-Point Types – Float_Pkg 119 6.7 Type Conversions 134 6.8 Constant Values 144 6.9 Mixing Types in Expressions 146 6.10 Top-Level Interface 147 7 Std_Logic_Arith 151 7.1 The Std_Logic_Arith Package 151 7.2 Contents of Std_Logic_Arith 152 7.3 Type Conversions 161 7.4 Constant Values 162 7.5 Mixing Types in Expressions 164 8 Sequential VHDL 167 8.1 Processes 167 8.2 Signal Assignments 170 8.3 Variables 171 8.4 If Statements 172 8.5 Case Statements 177 8.6 Latch Inference 178 8.7 Loops 181 8.8 Worked Example 187 9 Registers 191 9.1 Basic D-Type Register 191 9.2 Simulation Model 192 9.3 Synthesis Model 193 9.4 Register Templates 195 9.5 Register Types 199 9.6 Clock Types 199 9.7 Clock Gating 200 9.8 Data Gating 201 9.9 Asynchronous Reset 203 9.10 Synchronous Reset 208 9.11 Registered Variables 210 9.12 Initial Values 211 10 Hierarchy 213 10.1 The Role of Components 213 10.2 Indirect Binding 214 10.3 Direct Binding 219 10.4 Component Packages 220 10.5 Parameterised Components 222 10.6 Generate Statements 225 10.7 Worked Examples 230 11 Subprograms 243 11.1 The Role of Subprograms 243 11.2 Functions 243 11.3 Operators 254 11.4 Type Conversions 258 11.5 Procedures 261 11.6 Declaring Subprograms 267 11.7 Worked Example 270 12 Special Structures 279 12.1 Tristates 279 12.2 Finite State Machines 284 12.3 RAMs and Register Banks 292 12.4 Decoders and ROMs 297 13 Test Benches 301 13.1 Test Benches 301 13.2 Combinational Test Bench 302 13.3 Verifying Responses 305 13.4 Clocks and Resets 307 13.5 Other Standard Types 310 13.6 Don’t Care Outputs 312 13.7 Printing Response Values 314 13.8 Using TextIO to Read Data Files 315 13.9 Reading Standard Types 318 13.10 TextIO Error Handling 319 13.11 TextIO for Synthesis Types 321 13.12 TextIO for User-Defined Types 322 13.13 Worked Example 325 14 Libraries 327 14.1 The Library 327 14.2 Library Names 328 14.3 Library Work 329 14.4 Standard Libraries 330 14.5 Organising Your Files 333 14.6 Incremental Compilation 335 15 Case Study 337 15.1 Specification 337 15.2 System-Level Design 338 15.3 RTL Design 340 15.4 Trial Synthesis 352 15.5 Testing the Design 353 15.6 Floating-Point Version 361 15.7 Final Synthesis 362 15.8 Generic Version 364 15.9 Conclusions 366 Appendix A Package Listings 369 A.1 Package Standard 369 A.2 Package Standard_Additions 373 A.3 Package Std_Logic_1164 380 A.4 Package Std_Logic_1164_Additions 383 A.5 Package Numeric_Std 389 A.6 Package Numeric_Std_Additions 393 A.7 Package Fixed_Float_Types 400 A.8 Package Fixed_Pkg 401 A.9 Package Float_Pkg 415 A.10 Package TextIO 429 A.11 Package Standard_Textio_Additions 431 A.12 Package Std_Logic_Arith 432 A.13 Package Math_Real 436 Appendix B Syntax Reference 439 B.1 Keywords 439 B.2 Design Units 440 B.3 Concurrent Statements 441 B.4 Sequential Statements 443 B.5 Expressions 444 B.6 Declarations 445 References 449 Index 451
