Computer Control in the Process Industries

Techniques such as dead time compensation, adaptive control and Kalman filtering have been around for some time, but as yet find little application in industry.

This book tries to promote the use of advanced control techniques by taking the reader from basic theory to practical implementation. It is therefore of interest to practicing control engineers in various types of industries, especially the process industry. Graduate and undergraduate students in control engineering will also find the book extremely useful since many practical details are given which are usually omitted in books on control engineering.
