How does working from home affect developer productivity? — A case study of Baidu during the COVID-19 pandemic
Published in Science China Information Sciences
Nowadays, working from home (WFH) has become a popular work arrangement due to its many potential benefits for both companies and employees (e.g., increasing job satisfaction and retention of employees). Many previous studies have investigated the impact of WFH on the productivity of employees. However, most of these studies usually use a qualitati...

Adaptive event-triggered state estimation for large-scale systems subject to deception attacks
Published in Science China Information Sciences
This paper addresses state estimation issues of large-scale systems with measurements subject to deception attacks, where the communication topology among sub-estimators is the same as the physical coupling structure of the subsystems. In consideration of the limited channel bandwidth, a novel adaptive event-triggered scheme is proposed for governi...
Neural learning control for discrete-time nonlinear systems in pure-feedback form
Published in Science China Information Sciences
This study focuses on state-feedback and output-feedback neural learning control problems for discrete-time nonlinear systems in the pure-feedback form. First, an extended result for the exponential stability for a class of discrete-time linear time-varying (LTV) systems with n-step delays is proposed to verify the exponential convergence of estima...
Equivalent input disturbance-based load frequency control for smart grid with air conditioning loads
Published in Science China Information Sciences
Integrating intermittent wind power into power systems results in low or zero inertia, threatening their frequency stability. To accommodate intermittent generations, the demand response (DR) is introduced, and air conditioning loads (ACs) account for an increasing proportion of all loads. The replacement of traditional generators with wind turbine...
Human guided cooperative robotic agents in smart home using beetle antennae search
Published in Science China Information Sciences
In this paper, we propose a control framework for cooperative robotic agents, which constitutes an essential component in the construction of futuristic smart-homes. Such agents assist humans in efficiently completing household chores. Usability, human friendliness, autonomy, and intelligent decision-making are the top considerations for designing ...
Multichannel adaptive signal detection: basic theory and literature review
Published in Science China Information Sciences
Multichannel adaptive signal detection uses test and training data jointly to form an adaptive detector to determine whether a target exists. The resulting adaptive detectors typically possess constant false alarm rate (CFAR) properties; thus, no additional CFAR processing is required. In addition, a filtering process is also not required because t...

Safety criteria based on barrier function under the framework of boundedness for some dynamic systems
Published in Science China Information Sciences
Barrier functions have been reported to be useful in quantifying the safety of some dynamic systems. Usually, when using the barrier functions, we try to transform safety analysis issues of dynamic systems into a class of reachability issues from a safe set to an unsafe set. This article presents a novel sufficient safety criterion for some dynamic...
