... According to Sobh [10], domotic refers to the use of artificial intelligence in homes. For instance, facial recognition systems can be installed in homes such that upon the entry of each person, personal profiling is activated automatically. ...
... Simplicity of control: Once home control systems have been installed, all the control operations become very easy to control. One only requires the touch of a button to control such elements as temperature, lighting or even entertainment [10]. Figure 2 below shows a sample of a Smart Home system controller showing simplicity of control. ...
... Installing smart home devices and applications as described above can appear to be a very expensive project to undertake. However, the benefits derived from such systems surpass their costs [10]. Moreover, the continuously advancing technology and the continuous rise in the demand for smart home products has led to a reduction in the prices of these items, which are thus becoming more affordable to many. ...

This study surveys a range of devices and applications based on information and computer technologies to automate their control houses and related activities which together form and are called Smart Home systems. The aim of this research is to explore examples of such devices and applications used to provide smart home technologies and their benefits and challenges to users. Interviews were administered to 18 users of Smart Home technologies. The participants were selected randomly by purposive sampling on the basis of having and using a smart home technology, and with the goal of ascertaining which type of the technologies are being used, their modus operandi, and their benefits and any implementation issues. This was complemented by exploring the systems through watching and observing online videos of people using them. The findings reveal a varied number of Smart Home systems being used for automating household operations. The primary reasons for using them are their efficiency and simplicity of operation in spite of being challenged by their high costs. In relative order, the greatest perceived benefits of a smart home system for the participants were convenience, energy savings, the security it can provide, and simplicity of control. The greatest challenges were cost, design aspects, technical challenges and lacking in meeting special user needs.
... Note that some industrial processes own a fractional order dead time and when the dead time is approximated from fractional to integral to apply the existing tuning method, the closed-loop performance can significantly downgrade [17], and thus MPC tuning of first-order plus fractional dead time (FOPFDT) systems should be specifically considered. To the best of the authors' knowledge, MPC tuning of FOPFDT systems has only been studied by [16], who, however, just focused on the SISO case. ...

An analytical model predictive control (MPC) tuning method for multivariable first-order plus fractional dead time systems is presented in this paper. First, the decoupling condition of the closed-loop system is derived, based on which the considered multivariable MPC tuning problem is simplified to a pole placement problem. Given such a simplification, an analytical tuning method guaranteeing the closed-loop stability as well as pre-specified time-domain performance is developed. Finally, simulation examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
