Comparison of on-line learning algorithms for RBF models in greenhouse environmental control problems

The problem with the adequacy of radial basis function neural networks to model the inside air temperature as a function of the outside air temperature and solar radiation, and the inside relative humidity in an hydroponic greenhouse is addressed.

Adaptive generalized predictive control algorithm implemented over an heterogeneous parallel architecture

In this paper a parallel implementation of an Adaprtive Generalized Predictive Control (AGPC) algorithm is presented. Since the AGPC algorithm needs to be fed with knowledge of the plant transfer function, the parallelization of a standard Recursive Least Squares (RLS) estimator and a GPC predictor is discussed here.

Parallel implementation of an adaptive generalized predictive control algorithm

The Adaptive Generalized Predictive Control (AGPC) algorithm can be speeded up using parallel processing. Since the AGPC algorithm needs to be fed with the knowledge of the plant transfer function, the parallelization of a standard Recursive Least Squares (RLS) estimator and a GPC predictor is discussed here.
