Agriculture plays a decisive role in the survival of humankind. The efficient and precise
regulation of agriculture will ensure the welfare of people throughout the world. However …

Model-predictive control (MPC) is an optimization-based control technique that uses 1) a
mathematical model of a system to predict the system's behavior over a given horizon, 2) an …

The future of agriculture faces a threat from a changing climate and a rapidly growing
population. This has put enormous pressure on water and land resources as more food is …

Abstract Model Predictive Control (MPC) has recently gained increasing interest in the
adaptive management of water resources systems due to its capability of incorporating …

Clustering strategies are becoming increasingly relevant to boost the scalability of
distributed control methods by focusing the cooperation efforts on highly coupled agents …

The evolution of information and communication technologies has yielded the means of
sharing measurements and other information in an efficient and flexible way [1], which has …

Water is the most important element of food production, and the easiest and most cost-
efficient way to transport it is through open-channel irrigation systems (OCIS). These types of …

This article shows how coalitional model predictive control (MPC) can be used to maximize
thermal power of large-scale solar parabolic-trough plants. This strategy dynamically …

Irrigation canal networks, as the primary agricultural water conveyance and delivery
systems, are exposed to a variety of hazards affecting the water distribution processes. This …

Losses in agricultural water conveyance and distribution systems are caused by two main
reasons: seepage and improper operation of canal structures. This study examined the …
