Fall 2013
This thesis is concerned with identification of switched linear systems (SLSs), which is an important part in model-based control. There are a large number of physical systems that can be represented or approximated by SLSs. Therefore, the study of SLSs has attracted much attention over the past...

Fall 2013
State inference and identification of discrete-time, non-linear, stochastic state-space models (SSMs) are considered here. A novel sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) based Bayesian method for simultaneous on-line state inference and identification of non-linear SSMs is proposed. Extension of the method...

Fall 2014
In this thesis, time-varying behaviour, nonlinearity and switching dynamics are generally treated as multi-modal behaviour. Two multi-model modelling techniques, i.e., the linear parameter varying (LPV) technique and the switched modelling technique, are investigated to model the multi-modal...

Tracking and Controlling Persons: Identification for Control in Cognitive Behaviours and Cultural Practices
DownloadFall 2015
This research aims (i) to demonstrate the unity of the phenomena of person identification and control and (ii) to propose the first philosophical theory that uses a single conceptual framework to describe and explain these phenomena. Chapter 1 introduces the philosophical significance of the...
