Research and information: general

As this Preface is being written, the twentieth century is coming to an end.

The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer in control engineering.

Control Theory for Linear Systems deals with the mathematical theory of feedback control of linear systems.

Information is a key factor in business today, and data warehousing has become a major activity in the development and management of information systems to support the proper flow of information.

Discrete-time Stochastic Systems gives a comprehensive introduction to the estimation and control of dynamic stochastic systems and provides complete derivations of key results such as the basic relations for Wiener filtering.

The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage of control technology transfer in control engineering.

Relay feedback has attracted considerable research attention for more than a century but there has been no recent summary of the many newly-developed tools and results now available for this important area as a whole, those that have been published tending to focus on one process or controller type only.

The recent explosive growth of our ability to generate and store data has created a need for new, scalable and efficient, tools for data analysis.

A typical method of dealing with input and output constraints, especially for PID control, has been the empirical design and implementation of an intuitive solution to an individual plant and its constraints.

Plant control systems are subject to the undesirable influence of exogenous commands and disturbances.

An exposition of the interplay between the modelling of dynamic systems and the design of feedback controllers based on these models is the main goal of this book.

In the last decade a dynamic development in positive systems has been observed.

New results, fresh ideas and new applications in automotive and flight control systems are presented in this second edition of Robust Control.

At the core of many engineering problems is the solution of sets of equa- tions and inequalities, and the optimization of cost functions.

Machine Vision Algorithms in Java provides a comprehensive introduction to the algorithms and techniques associated with machine vision systems.

Aimed primarily at final year undergraduate courses and MSc courses on Information Systems, Management of Information Systems and Design of Information Systems, this textbook aims to provide answers to five questions;What is security?

Since the first edition of C++ for Scientists, Engineers and Mathematicians, many things have changed.

Modern methods of filter design and controller design often yield systems of very high order, posing a problem for their implementation.

In the last decade new artificial intelligence methods for the modelling and control of complex systems, namely neural networks, fuzzy logic and probabilistic reasoning have drawn the interest of researchers and engineers.

Neural networks have a learning capability but analysis of a trained network is difficult.
