This talk will present an engineering perspective on 'architecture' in complex engineered systems. The role of protocols and interfaces will be emphasized, along with other architectural concepts such as modularity, evolvability and reusability. Examples of architecture as applied to autonomous vehicles will be used to illustrate modern engineer...

This talk discusses the problem of frequency regulation in islanded ac microgrids with no inertia, i.e., those consisting entirely of generators interfaced through power electronics. The control architecture we propose to achieve this is designed to drive the average frequency error to zero while ensuring that the frequency at every bus is equal...

In Small Things Discounted: Architecture and World Making. In this talk Arijit Sen discusses the growth of an immigrant fast food store in Berkeley in order to explore how small inconsequential transformations in the material environment, when cumulatively examined, can provide us a window from which to study larger processes framing world makin...
