Advances in Control

Advances in Control contains keynote contributions and tutorial material from the fifth European Control Conference, held in Germany in September 1999. The topics covered are of particular relevance to all academics and practitioners in the field of modern control engineering. These include:
- Modern Control Theory
- Fault Tolerant Control Systems
- Linear Descriptor Systems
- Generic Robust Control Design
- Verification of Hybrid Systems
- New Industrial Perspectives
- Nonlinear System Identification
- Multi-Modal Telepresence Systems
- Advanced Strategies for Process Control
- Nonlinear Predictive Control
- Logic Controllers of Continuous Plants
- Two-dimensional Linear Systems.
This important collection of work is introduced by Professor P.M. Frank who has almost forty years of experience in the field of automatic control. State-of-the-art research, expert opinions and future developments in control theory and its industrial applications, combine to make this an essential volume for all those involved in control engineering.
