1. Control of EGR and VGT for emission control and pumping work minimization in diesel engines
Sammanfattning : Legislators steadily increase the demands on lowered emissions from heavy duty vehicles. To meet these demands it is necessary to integrate technologies like Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Variable Geometry Turbochargers (VGT) together with advanced control systems. LÄS MER
2. Glycemic Control and Temperature Control in Buildings
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of two parts, applying concepts from automatic control to different application areas.The first part of this thesis concerns the development of an optimization-based algorithm, determining the size of insulin and glucose doses for patients suffering from Diabetes Mellitus and treated with multiple insulin injections.

3. Modelling and Lagrangian control of mixed traffic: platoon coordination, congestion dissipation and state reconstruction
Sammanfattning : Traffic congestion is a constantly growing problem, with a wide array of negative effects on the society, from wasted time and productivity to elevated air pollution and reduction of safety. The introduction of connected, autonomous vehicles enables a new, Lagrangian paradigm for sensing andcontrolling the traffic, by directly using connected vehicles inside the traffic flow, as opposed to the classical, Eulerian paradigm, which relies on stationary equipment on the road.

4. Learning to Control the Cloud
Sammanfattning : With the growth of the cloud industry in recent years, the energy consumption of the underlying infrastructure is a major concern.The need for energy efficient resource management and control in the cloud becomes increasingly important as one part of the solution, where the other is to reduce the energy consumption of the hardware itself.

5. Modeling and Model-based Control of Automotive Air Paths
Sammanfattning : The strive towards cleaner and more efficient combustion engines, driven by legislation and cost, introduces new configurations, as exhaust gas recirculation, turbocharging, and variable valve timing, to name a few. Beside all the positive effects on the emissions and fuel consumption, they all affect the air-charge system, which increases the cross-couplings within the air-path control, making it an even more complex system to control.
