System Analysis and Control Design for Generalized Switched Server Systems

The generalized switched server (GSS) systems model and some switching control strategies have been presented to address a class of load-balancing problems with control input algebra constraint. Based on the proposed framework of the GSS systems and the related switching control strategies, this paper mainly studies the problem of the system analysis and control design for the generalized switched server systems. Due to that the GSS system is a discretely controlled continuous time system, the procedure of the control design is divided into two steps: one is to design the continuous time controller, and the other is to design and select the discrete-event driven switching control strategy. The two steps are independent from each other, and can be finished separately.
