Improved guaranteed cost control and quantum adaptive control are developed in this study for a quadrotor helicopter with state
delay and actuator faults. Improved guaranteed cost control is designed to eliminate disturbance effects and guarantee the robust stability of a
quadrotor helicopter with state delay. The inapplicability of guaranteed cost control to the quadrotor linear model is addressed by combining
guaranteed cost control with a model reference linear quadratic regulator. In the event of actuator faults, quadrotor tracking performance is
maintained through quantum adaptive control. Finally, the availability of the proposed scheme is verified through numerical simulation

Cooperation is not a natural characteristic attributed to humans. The typical human horizon is focused
on short-term gains, which might be due to our instinct-driven subconscious occupying a grander
importance than we dare to admit [1]. Cooperating with other individuals or entities, however, usually
means that short-term losses may translate into long-term gains – something history has proved to
hold true but humans for some reason rarely ever understand.
Mobile communication has gained significant importance in today’s society. As
of 2010, the number of mobile phone subscribers has surpassed 5 billion [ABI10],
and the global annual mobile revenue is soon expected to top $1 trillion [Inf10].
While these numbers appear promising for mobile operators at first sight, the
major game-changer that has come up recently is the fact that the market is
more and more driven by the demand for mobile data traffic [Cis10].
This book is the outcome of the panel discussions held on the special event honor-
ing first 50 PhD students of Prof. Ramjee Prasad. Several of his PhD students are
today worldwide telecommunication leaders themselves. Over 60 post-docs, PhDs,
colleagues and the scientific staff were present at the event to celebrate the research
and development achievements in the field of mobile and wireless communication.
Convergence between the two largest networks (Telecom and IP) is taking place
very rapidly and at diff erent levels: (1) network level: unifi cation of IP networks
with traditional Telecom networks through evolving standards (Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP), Realtime Transfer Protocol (RTP), SS7, 3G) to support interopera-
bility; (2) service level: traditional Telecom services like voice calls are being provi-
sioned on the IP backbone (VoIP), while traditional IP services (most data-driven
services such as multimedia, browsing, chatting, gaming, etc.) are accessible over
the Telecom network.
Driven by the desire to boost the quality of service of wireless systems closer to that afforded
by wireline systems, space-time processing for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
wireless communications research has drawn remarkable interest in recent years. Excit-
ing theoretical advances, complemented by rapid transition of research results to industry
products and services, have created a vibrant and growing area that is already established
by all counts. This offers a good opportunity to reflect on key developments in the area
during the past decade and also outline emerging trends.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of the most prevalent threats to the reliability
of electronic components. It is an event in which a finite amount of charge is trans-
ferred from one object (i.e., human body) to another (i.e., microchip). This process
can result in a very high current passing through the microchip within a very short
period of time, and, hence, more than 35% of chip damages can be attributed to an
ESD-related event. As such, designing on-chip ESD structures to protect integrated
circuits against the ESD stresses is a high priority in the semiconductor industry.
This book is focused on designing and developing Representational State Transfer (REST)
platforms in Rails. REST is the architectural style of the Web, consisting of a set of
constraints that, applied to components, connectors, and data elements, constitute the
wider distributed hypermedia system that we know today: the World Wide Web.
There are a few good reasons why it makes more sense to build platforms instead of just
products or applications. Platforms are like ecosystems interconnecting different
applications, services, users, developers, and partners. Platforms foster innovation through
the inputs of their direct collaborators. By providing application programming interfaces
(APIs) and software development kits (SDKs), platforms are more customer driven.
In this research, we have designed, developed implemented a wireless sensor
networks based smart home for safe, sound and secured living environment for
any inhabitant especially elderly living alone. We have explored a methodology
for the development of efficient electronic real time data processing system to
recognize the behaviour of an elderly person. The ability to determine the
wellness of an elderly person living alone in their own home using a robust,
flexible and data driven artificially intelligent system has been investigated. A
framework integrating temporal and spatial contextual information for
determining the wellness of an elderly person has been modelled. A novel
behaviour detection process based on the observed sensor data in performing
essential daily activities has been designed and developed.
