Finite Time and Cooperative Control of Flight Vehicles


Book Description

This book focuses on the finite-time control of attitude stabilization, attitude tracking for individual spacecraft, and finite-time control of attitude synchronization. It discusses formation reconfiguration for multiple spacecraft in complex networks, and provides a new fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode surface (FNTSMS). Further, it presents newly designed controllers and several control laws to enhance the performance of spacecraft systems and meet related demands, such as strong disturbance rejection and high-precision control. As such, the book establishes a fundamental framework for these topics, while also highlighting the importance of integrated analysis. It is a useful resource for all researchers and students who are interested in this field, as well as engineers whose work involves designing flight vehicles.

Proceedings of the Fourth Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms


Book Description

Annotation Proceedings of a conference that took place in Austin, Texas in January 1993. Contributors are impressive names from the field of computer science, including Donald Knuth, author of several computer books of "biblical" importance. The diverse selection of paper topics includes dynamic point location, ray shooting, and the shortest paths in planar maps; optimistic sorting and information theoretic complexity; and an optimal randomized algorithm for the cow-path problem.

Linking Learning and Performance


Book Description

While return-on-investment measurement programmes have gained wide acceptance and popularity, two key components to successful programme evaluation are often neglected: learning and performance evaluation. This text provides a step-by-step approach for developing learning and performance measures and a method for analyzing and reporting results. It features checklists to evaluate the situation and tools for immediate application in a number of organizational settings - sales, leadership, and technical. It is intended to be useful to anyone involved in training, HRD, human resource measurement and evaluation, and performance improvement.
