Continuous control of ionization wave chaos by spatially derived feedback signals
In the positive column of a neon glow discharge, two different types of
ionization waves occur simultaneously. The low-dimensional chaos arising from
the nonlinear interaction between the two waves is controlled by a continuous
feedback technique. The control strategy is derived from the time-delayed
autosynchronization method. Two spatially displaced points of observation are
used to obtain the control information, using the propagation characteristics
of the chaotic wave.Comment: Elsevier-Tex-File, 8 pages, 6 figures, submitted to PL
On the Simulation of Multiagent-Based Regulators for Physiological Processes
The multiagent approach allows to e#ectively address and manage the complex regulation of physiological processes. In this paper we argue why multiagent regulating systems need to be simulated in order to assess the properties of interest. In particular, we consider a multiagent regulator of the glucose-insulin metabolism and we show how the e#ectiveness of its control activity and other salient properties of this system can be derived from simulation
