TL;DR: This article presents a concise overview of applications where context aware systems and control methodologies are relevant in the seven societal challenges acknowledged by European policy-makers: Digital Society; Food; Health and Well-Being; Smart Resource Management; Urban Planning, Mobility Dynamics and Logistics; New Energy Demand and Delivery; and Society.

TL;DR: The mathematical framework used to derive a fractional-order impedance lumped model for capturing frequency response of a flexible beam system exposed to a multisine excitation is described, and it is shown that the fractional order model outperforms an integer order model of the smart beam.

TL;DR: A new continuous-to-discrete-time operator is used to obtain the discrete-time approximation of the ideal fractional order PD controller and it is demonstrated that the designed controller can significantly improve the vibration suppression in smart beams.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the latest advances in fractional-order sensors and filters, with a focus on design methodologies and their real-life applicability reported in the last decade, can be found in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the airplane wing is modeled as a cantilever beam on which active vibration suppression is tested, and the tuning of both integer and fractional order Proportional Derivative type controllers based on constraints imposed in the frequency domain.
