Analysis Computational Parallelism Concurrent by Michaloski John (1 results)

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates computational parallelism in robot control systems, particularly through the lens of hierarchical control models. The author argues that deterministic, not performative, metrics are key to assessing a control model's viability, and therefore, hierarchical control systems are a promising approach to robot control because they offer a systematic method for modeling and analyzing system response time. The book extends hierarchical control theory with a novel timing analysis of control system response times, providing a benchmark against which to compare and design real-time control systems. Through detailed mathematical formalism, this book reveals the inherent strengths and weaknesses of different control models and presents software control algorithms that combine concurrent executors and planners with interprocessor communication applicable to all levels in the concurrent hierarchy. This book will appeal to engineers, computer scientists, and roboticists interested in designing and implementing real-time control systems.
