This extended result will relax the existenceconditions of the output-based distributed observer for a leader system subject to jointly connected switching communication networks in the literature. As an application of this output-based distributed observer, we solve the cooperative output regulati on problem of a linear multi-age nt system subject to jointly connected switching communicatio n n etworks by composing a purely decentralized control law and the output-based distributed observer based on the certainty equivalence principle.展开更多

Adapted from the Norwegian model, the OBRSS awards individual academic staff using a points system based on the number of publications and doctoral students. This article describes the design and implementation processes of the OBRSS, including the creation of the ranked publication list and points system and infrastructure requirements. Some results of the OBRSS will be presented, focusing on the coverage of publications reported in the OBRSS ranked publication list and Scopus, as well as information about spending patterns. Challenges such as the evaluation of the OBRSS in terms of fairness, transparency, and effectiveness will also be discussed.展开更多
