La noción de performance y su potencialidad epistemológica en el hacer científico social contemporáneo by María Celeste Bianciotti, Mariana Ortecho

“…En segundo lugar, profundiza en aquellas transformaciones que podrían devenir del uso de esta noción en el marco de la producción científica actual. Por último, señala que muchos de aquellos principios (vinculados a la matriz positivista) que hoy se consideran superados siguen operando en estos procesos gnoseológicos mediante la utilización —casi exclusiva— de sistemas de representación simbólica.…”

A Survey on High-Order Internal Model Based Iterative Learning Control by Miao Yu, Sheng Chai

“…Iterative learning control (ILC) has been developed for decades and is mainly used to solve the repetitive control tasks. However, in the actual operation of systems, there are many non-strictly repetitive or iteration-varying factors, such as the iteration-varying reference trajectory, non-repetitive system parameters, iteration-related initial states, iteration-dependent input and output disturbances, etc. …”
