Abstract. Switching linear dynamic systems (SLDS) attempt to describe a complex nonlinear dynamic system with a succession of linear models indexed by a switching variable. Unfortu...
—Today’s enterprise data centers are shifting towards a utility computing model where many business critical applications share a common pool of infrastructure resources that o...
This paper proposes a framework for modeling and controlling systems described by interdependent physical laws, logic rules, and operating constraints, denoted as mixed logical dy...
