An introduction to formal methods for feedback control of multi-agent systems with safety and performance guarantees.Multi-agent control systems can accomplish tasks that single-agent systems cannot address, such as aerial surveillance of large areas by a group of drones. In Formal Methods for Multi-Agent Feedback Control Systems, Lars Lindemann and Dimos Dimarogonas provide an accessible introduction to formal methods for feedback control of multi-agent systems. Their book is the first to bridge the gap between formal methods and feedback control for the scalable design of cyber-physical systems. The material covered is intended for scientists, engineers, and students, and no background in formal methods or control theory is required. The authors also highlight future research directions for those working at the intersection of formal methods and control.In control theory, the goal is to design feedback control laws for dynamical systems that achieve control objectives such as stability or forward invariance of sets. Formal methods, on the other hand, provide verification and design techniques for more complex system specifications using temporal logics. However, their high computational cost limits scaling beyond a small number of agents. Besides scalability, another central challenge is to achieve robustness in the system design. Thus, the authors focus on ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The book offers an exciting, non-technical intellectual journey around applying feedback control to emerging and managing local and global crises, thus keeping the world on a sustainable trajectory. There is a narrow border between destruction and prosperity: to ensure reasonable growth but avoid existential risk, we must find the fine-tuned balance between positive and negative feedback.  This book addresses readers belonging to various generations, such as: young people growing up in a world where everything seems to be falling apart; people in their 30s and 40s who are thinking about how to live a fulfilling life;  readers in their 50s and 60s thinking back on life; and Baby Boomers reflecting on their past successes and failures.Albert-László Barabási, Robert Gray Dodge Professor of Network Science, Northeastern University: “In a world where interconnectedness has fostered global prosperity, it has also introduced vulnerabilities that can escalate local failures into worldwide crises. “Feedback” by Peter Erdi explores this double-edged sword, offering a solution through the power of feedback mechanisms. These tools are designed to mitigate the negative impacts of connectedness, steering the complexity of modern life towards outcomes that enhance human welfare.”Patrick Grim, Philosopher in Residence Visiting Scholar Center for Complex Systems ...

Vibrant and candid memoirs of the late, great British character actor, Pete Postlethwaite.After training as a teacher, Pete Postlethwaite started his acting career at the Liverpool Everyman Theatre where his colleagues included Bill Nighy, Jonathan Pryce, Antony Sher and Julie Walters. After routine early appearances in small parts for television programmes such as THE PROFESSIONALS, Postlethwaite''s first success came with the acclaimed British film DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES in 1988. He then received an Academy Award nomination for his role in THE NAME OF THE FATHER in 1993. His performance as the mysterious lawyer "Kobayashi" in THE USUAL SUSPECTS is well-known, and he appeared in many successful films including ALIEN 3, BRASSED OFF, THE SHIPPING NEWS, THE CONSTANT GARDENER, as Friar Lawrence in Baz Luhrmann''s ROMEO + JULIET, and in INCEPTION with Leonardo diCaprio. Pete Postlethwaite was one of the best-loved and widely admired performers on stage, TV (SHARPE, THE SINS) and in cinema. In THE ART OF DISCWORLD, Terry Pratchett said that he had always imagined Sam Vimes as ''a younger, slightly bulkier version of Pete Postlethwaite'', while Steven Spielberg called him ''the best actor in the world'', about which Postlethwaite said: ''I''m sure what Spielberg actually said was, ...

The world first publication of a previously unknown work by J.R.R. Tolkien, which tells the epic story of the Norse hero, Sigurd, the dragon-slayer, the revenge of his wife, Gudrún, and the Fall of the Nibelungs.In the Lay of the Völsungs is told the ancestry of the great hero Sigurd, the slayer of Fáfnir most celebrated of dragons, whose treasure he took for his own; of his awakening of the Valkyrie Brynhild who slept surrounded by a wall of fire, and of their betrothal; and of his coming to the court of the great princes who were named the Niflungs (or Nibelungs), with whom he entered into blood-brotherhood. In that court there sprang great love but also great hate, brought about by the power of the enchantress, mother of the Niflungs, skilled in the arts of magic, of shape-changing and potions of forgetfulness.In scenes of dramatic intensity, of confusion of identity, thwarted passion, jealousy and bitter strife, the tragedy of Sigurd and Brynhild, of Gunnar the Niflung and Gudrún his sister, mounts to its end in the murder of Sigurd at the hands of his blood-brothers, the suicide of Brynhild, and the despair of Gudrún.

Strategies, techniques and ideas come and go in education, but feedback will always be an important aspect of effective teaching, learning and assessment. Feedback should be helpful and actionable, and pupils must embrace it, but the reality is that this doesn''t always happen. Pupils receive feedback on a daily basis, from their teachers and peers, so how can we make sure it helps rather than hinders learning? This book aims to answer that key question and provide a wide range of practical examples for the classroom.Feedback: strategies to support teacher workload and improve pupil progress, the latest book by bestselling author Kate Jones, explores a variety of evidence-informed and workload-friendly feedback strategies. Jones examines the ingredients of effective feedback, shows what actionable feedback looks like in practice, explores verbal feedback approaches, advises on peer and self-assessment, and on harnessing technology to support teacher workload. Fascinating case studies reveal how classroom teachers and school leaders across primary and secondary are implementing feedback in their settings.

So this is permanence, edited by Jon Savage with a foreword by Deborah Curtis, presents the intensely personal writings of one of the most enigmatic and influential songwriters and performers of the late twentieth century, Joy Division''s Ian Curtis. The songs of Joy Division, infused with the energy of punk but steeped in a resigned longing, were born of Manchester in the late seventies - a once flourishing industrial city in decline. They were the songs too of Ian Curtis''s inner tragedies, as he battled depression, epilepsy and debilitating stage fright. Ian Curtis committed suicide in 1980, on the eve of the band''s first American tour. Interspersed with the lyrics are previously unpublished facsimile pages of Ian''s notebooks, which throw his highly emotive lyrics into fascinating relief and cast light on the creative process of this singularly poetic songwriter.

The definitive biography of Sir Ian McKellen from an acclaimed biographer In 2001, Ian McKellen put on the robe and pointed hat of a wizard named Gandalf and won a place in the hearts of Tolkien fans worldwide. Though his role in the film adaptation of Lord of the Rings introduced him to a new audience, McKellen had a thriving career a lifetime before his visit to Middle Earth. He made his West End acting debut in 1964 in James Saunders’s A Scent of Flowers, but it was in 1980 that he took Broadway by storm when he played Antonio Salieri in Peter Shaffer’s Tony-Award-winning play Amadeus.He has starred in over four hundred plays and films and he is that rare character: a celebrity whose distinguished political and social service has transcended his international fame to reach beyond the stage and screen. The breadth of his career—professional, personal and political—has been truly staggering: Macbeth (opposite Judi Dench), Iago, King Lear, Chekhov’s Sorin in The Seagull and Becket’s tramp Estragon (opposite Patrick Stewart) in Waiting for Godot. Add to all this his tireless political activism in the cause of gay equality and you have a veritable phenomenon. Garry O’Connor’s Ian McKellen: ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A fresh portrait of the man behind James Bond, and his enduring impact, by an award-winning biographer with unprecedented access to the Fleming family papers. Ian Fleming's greatest creation, James Bond, has had an enormous and ongoing impact on our culture. What Bond represents about ideas of masculinity, the British national psyche and global politics has shifted over time, as has the interpretation of the life of his author.But Fleming himself was more mysterious and subtle than anything he wrote. Ian's childhood with his gifted brother Peter and his extraordinary mother set the pattern for his ambition to be 'the complete man', and he would strive for the means to achieve this 'completeness' all his life. Only a thriller writer for his last twelve years, his dramatic personal life and impressive career in Naval Intelligence put him at the heart of critical moments in world history, while also providing rich inspiration for his fiction.Exceptionally well connected, and widely travelled, from the United States and Soviet Russia to his beloved Jamaica, Ian had access to the most powerful political figures at a time of profound change.

The essential introduction to the Middle Ages by the bestselling author of The Time Traveller''s Guide to Medieval EnglandWe tend to think of the Middle Ages as a dark, backward and unchanging time characterised by violence, ignorance and superstition. By contrast we believe progress arose from science and technological innovation, and that inventions of recent centuries created the modern world.We couldn''t be more wrong. As Ian Mortimer shows in this fascinating book, people''s horizons - their knowledge, experience and understanding of the world - expanded dramatically. Life was utterly transformed between 1000 and 1600, marking the transition from a warrior-led society to that of Shakespeare.Just as The Time Traveller''s Guide to Medieval England revealed what it was like to live in the fourteenth century, Medieval Horizons provides the perfect primer to the era as a whole. It outlines the enormous cultural changes that took place - from literacy to living standards, inequality and even the developing sense of self - thereby correcting misconceptions and presenting the period as a revolutionary age of fundamental importance in the development of the Western world.Praise for Ian Mortimer:''The endlessly inventive Ian Mortimer is the most remarkable medieval historian of our time'' - The Times
