Abstract:
Continuous-time system identification deals with the problem of building continuous-time models of dynamical systems from sampled input and output data. In this field, there are two main approaches: indirect and direct. In the indirect approach, a suitable discrete-time model is first determined, and then it is transformed into continuous-time. On the other hand, the direct approach obtains a continuous-time model directly from the sampled data. In both approaches there exists a dichotomy between discrete-time data and continuous-time models, which can induce robustness issues and complication

Abstract:
In Chapter 2 we extend the heterogeneous discounting model introduced in Marín-Solano and Patxot (2012) to a stochastic environment. Our main contribution in this chapter is to derive the DPE providing time-consistent solution for both the discrete and continuous time case. For the continuous time problem we derive the DPE following the two different procedures described above: the formal limiting procedure and the variational approach. However, an important limitation of these approaches is that the DPE obtained is a functional equation with a nonlocal term. As a consequence, it becomes very

Networked computer systems offer much to support collaborative editing of shared documents among users. Increasing concurrent access to shared documents by allowing multiple users to contribute to and/or track changes to these shared documents is the goal of real-time collaborative editing systems (RTCES); yet concurrent access is either limited in existing systems that employ exclusive locking or concurrency control algorithms such as operational transformation (OT) may be employed to enable concurrent access. Unfortunately, such OT based schemes are costly with respect to communication and c

The effect of using the eventual consistency model is evaluated, compared to the effect of immediate consistency, by increasing the stabilization time in both models and using the immediate consistent system as a baseline for evaluations.

When the stabilization time increases the effectiveness of eventual consistency emerges, which is most obvious when time constraints make it difficult to propagate information and decisions.

Abstract:
Icons surround us but are so ubiquitous they are difficult to observe. Specifically urban cultural icons are a scientific sub-topic under urban morphology's heading and as well are closely related to economic development issues. This study premises that businesses are urban cultural icons which can be computed into four rankings: local cultural icons, focal, zonal, and global cultural icons. And through using dimensional measurement an index is measured. This index can then be used to assess urban morphology. The data set ranges from businesses opening in 1865 to the present. Some are globally

Abstract:
In this thesis, two problems of time consistent mean-variance portfolio selection have been studied: mean-variance asset-liability management with regime switchings and mean-variance optimization with state-dependent risk aversion under short-selling prohibition. Due to the non-linear expectation term in the mean-variance utility, the usual Tower Property fails to hold, and the corresponding optimal portfolio selection problem becomes time-inconsistent in the sense that it does not admit the Bellman Optimality Principle. Because of this, in this thesis, time-consistent equilibrium solution

Abstract:
Real-time collaboration editing is research area that has been studied for over 20 years. It involves multiple users editing a document such as plain-text, rich-text or an image concurrently over a high-latency network. Many problems involving consistency between users are associated with concurrent document editing, and an innovative technique called Operational Transformation developed by the GROVE (GRoup Outline Viewing Editor) system in 1989 addresses some of these issues. This paper will compare and contrast current implementations of real-time collaborative editors, and on the basis of t

Abstract:
Cette thèse traite des problèmes d’estimation et de contrôle de cohérence par l’utilisation des techniques ensemblistes. L’objectif est la mise en place d’une démarche méthodologique pour la surveillance et la détection d’anomalies au sein des systèmes où le déterminisme des indicateurs relatifs à l’état de santé du système est une condition sine qua non. Une fois placé dans un contexte ensembliste, l’évolution de chaque variable du système est représentée par une enveloppe traduisant les incertitudes internes et externes ; cette enveloppe représente le seuil au delà duquel le comportement obs
