Prerequisites: ECE 313 and ECE 515, or equivalents. In recent years, we have seen a growing interest in randomization of uncertain systems with the objective to reduce the complexity of feedback. This course will provide a broad perspective of this area and discuss several topics, which include the connections between randomized algorithms and statistical learning theory, and the computation of the sample complexity. In particular, the course will address systems analysis and design using sequential and non-sequential randomized methods, and analyze advantages and disadvantages of both approaches. Furthermore, the course will also demonstrate the utility of randomization for studying various applications such as congestion control of high-speed communication networks, control design of Mini-UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), and the computation of PageRank in the search engine Google using a distributed randomized approach. Finally, the main features of the recently developed Matlab Toolbox RACT (Randomized Algorithms Control Toolbox) will be illustrated. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
