The paper studies design of a decentralized supervisory controller with 2-level hierarchical structure for complex discrete event systems. Hierarchical structure with strict output-control-consistency(SOCC) gives a more abstract model for high-level control. The decentralized controller for a simple and abstract high-level system is designed more easily if the decentralized supervisory control problem in 2-level hierarchical structure systems(DSCP2) is solvable.

In this paper, we consider a hierarchical decentralized supervisory control of discrete event systems underpartial observation in two-level hierarchical structure since the observability is a practical and general property in modeling of real systems. Hierarchical consistencies of controllability and observability on the hierarchical decentralized supervisory control are investigated and relevant conditions are proposed to ensure such hierarchical consistencies.

Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) is the most widely utilized and plays an important role in industrial control system. Sequential Function Chart(SFC) is a graphic language which is suitable for describing a sequential control logic in discrete control system. We can design a distribute control construction and a hierarchical control construction in process control system described by SFC. In hierarchical control structure, we construct each subsystems to synchronize a synchronous signal between subsystems, and the command system gives and takes a synchronous signal with subsystems. Therefore, the system has a low memory efficiency and a low system performance. In this paper, we propose the method that improved the efficiency of memory in hierarchical control construction, and confirm its feasibility through an actual example.

In this paper, a method of rate control for constant bitrate (CBR) coding of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is addressed. The existing rate control of H.264/AVC may not provide exact rate control in the case of hierarchical coding structure since it doesn't consider the characteristics of the hierarchical coding structure. It is expected that a rate control is added to the reference software called HM for CBR encoding in the near future. More accurate rate control may be required in a hierarchical structure of random access (RA) mode defined in the common test condition of HM. In this paper, we propose a method of rate control based on quadratic Rate-Distortion (R-D) model considering temporal layers and frame types in hierarchical coding structure for efficient rate control. In the consideration of the trade-off relationship between the bit fluctuation and the average PSNR, both of frame and coding unit (CU) are set as the basic unit of rate control. The performance of the proposed rate control method is verified by simulations along with the trade-off relationships for the both cases of basic unit.

In developing an automated surface inspect algorithm, we have designed a hierarchical classifier using neural network. The defects which exist on the surface of cold mill strip have a scattering or singular distribution. We have considered three major problems, that is preprocessing, feature extraction and defect classification. In preprocessing, Top-hit transform, adaptive thresholding, thinning and noise rejection are used Especially, Top-hit transform using local minimax operation diminishes the effect of bad lighting. In feature extraction, geometric, moment, co-occurrence matrix, and histogram ratio features are calculated. The histogram ratio feature is taken from the gray-level image. For defect classification, we suggest a hierarchical structure of which nodes are multilayer neural network classifiers. The proposed algorithm reduced error rate by comparing to one-stage structure.

A hierarchical structure for the cooperative control of multiple mobile robots using coordinates of objects obtained from vision system is proposed. The order-level perceives environments represented by workspace sets. The algorithm selects an object to be moved using an object discrimination part and determines the robot actions. The action-level generates a trajectory of each wheel velocity of robot. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

To verify software vulnerability, the method of conjecturing software structure and then testing the software based on the conjectured structure has been highlighted. To utilize the method, an efficient way to conjecture software structure is required. The popular graph and tree methods such as DFG(Data Flow Graph), CFG(Control Flow Graph) and CFA(Control Flow Automata) have a serious drawback. That is, they cannot express software in a hierarchical fashion. In this paper, we propose a method to overcome the drawback. The proposed method applies various input data to a binary code, generate CFG's based on the code output and construct a HCFG (Hierarchical Control Flow Graph) to express the generated CFG's in a hierarchical structure. The components required for HCFG and progressive algorithm to construct HCFG are also proposed. The proposed method is verified through constructing the software architecture of an open SMTP(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server program. The structure generated by the proposed method and the real program structure are compared and analyzed.

Beamforming techniques have been successfully utilized for traffic channels in order to solve the interference problem. However, their use for control channels has not been sufficiently investigated. In this paper, a (semi-) centralized beamforming strategy that adaptively changes beam patterns and controls the total transmit power of cells is proposed for the performance enhancement of the common channel in hierarchical cell structure (HCS) networks. In addition, some examples of its practical implementation with low complexity are presented for two-tier HCS networks consisting of macro and pico cells. The performance of the proposed scheme has been evaluated through multi-cell system-level simulations under optimistic and pessimistic interference scenarios. The cumulative distribution function of user geometry or channel quality has been used as a performance metric since in the case of common control channel the number of outage users is more important than the sum rate. Simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme provides a significant gain compared to the random beamforming scheme as well as conventional systems that do not use the proposed algorithm. Finally, the proposed scheme can be applied simultaneously to several adjacent macro and pico cells even if it is designed primarily for the pico cell within macro cells.

A clustering scheme for ad hoc networks is aimed at managing a number of mobile devices by utilizing hierarchical structure of the networks. In order to construct and maintain an effective hierarchical structure in ad hoc networks where mobile devices may move at high mobility, the following requirements must be satisfied. The role of each mobile device for the hierarchical structure is adaptive to dynamic change of the topology of the ad hoc networks. The role of each mobile device should thus change autonomously based on the local information. The overhead for management of the hierarchical structure is small. The number of mobile devices in each cluster should thus be almost equivalent. This paper proposes an adaptive multihop clustering scheme for highly mobile ad hoc networks. The results obtained by extensive simulation experiments show that the proposed scheme does not depend on mobility and node degree of mobile devices in the ad hoc network, which satisfy the above requirements.

In this paper, we propose a double network control approach for linear systems. Generally, there are two network control system structures: the direct structure and the hierarchical structure. Here, the hierarchical structure consists of a main controller and a remote controller. The network delay of the structure only appears in the closed loop between the main controller and the remote system. However, the delay can exist between the remote controller and the actuator. Therefore, we design the double network system with delays between the main controller and the remote system, and the remote controller and the actuator. Finally, we carry out simulations on the linear system to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
