Feedback Control Systems: A Fast Track Guide for Scientists and Engineers is an essential reference tool for:

  • Electrical, mechanical and aerospace engineers who are developing or improving products, with a need to use feedback control systems.
  • Faculty and graduate students in the fields of engineering and experimental science (e.g., physics) who are building their own high-performance measuring/test arrangements.
  • Faculties teaching laboratory courses in engineering and measurement techniques, and the students taking those courses.
  • Practising engineers, scientists, and students who need a quick intuitive education in the issues related to feedback control systems.
    • Key features of Feedback Control Systems:
    • The contents and the layout of the book are structured to ensure satisfactory proficiency for the novice designer.
    • The authors provide the reader with a simple yet powerful method for designing control systems using several sensors or actuators.
    • It offers a comprehensive control system troubleshooting and performance testing guide.
    From the reviewers:
  • Control systems are ubiquitous and their use would be even more widespread if more people were competent in designing them. This book will play a valuable role in expanding the cadre of competent designers.
  • This is a book that needed to be written, and its presentation is different from any other book on controls intended for a wide community of engineers and scientists. The book breaks the common cliché of style in the control literature that tends toward mathematical formality. Instead, the emphasis is on intuition and practical advice.
  • The book contains a very valuable and novel heuristic treatment of the subject.
  • .. one of the best examples of a book that describes the design cycle.
  • The book will help satisfy the demand among practising engineers for a good introduction to control systems.

    Algorithms and Architectures for Real-Time Control 2000
    <p>The 6th IFAC Workshop on Algorithms and Architectures for Real-Time Control (AARTC'2000) was held at Palma de Mallorca, Spain. The objective, as in previous editions, was to show the state-of-the-art and to present new developments and research results in software and hardware for real-time control, as well as to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners, both from the academic and the industrial world.</p> <p>The AARTC'2000 Technical Program consisted of 11 presented sessions, covering the major areas of software, hardware and applications for real-time control. In particular, sessions adressed robotics, embedded systems, modeling and control, fuzzy logic methods, industrial process control and manufacturing systems, neural networks, parallel and distributed processing, processor architectures for control, software design tools and methodologies, and SCADA and multi-layer control. A total of 38 papers were selected from high-quality full draft papers and late breaking paper contributions (consisting of extended abstracts). Participants from 15 countries attended the AARTC'2000 workshop.</p> <p>The technical program also included two plenary talks given by leading experts in the field. Roger Goodall (Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Loughborough University, UK) presented "Perspectives on processing for real-time control", and Ricardo Sanz (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain), focused on "CORBA for Control Systems". Another highlight in the program was the final session on industrial presentations which was held in common with the Workshop on Real-Time Programming (WRTP'2000). In this session, Abel Jiménez (Industria de Turbo Propulsores S. A., Spain) presented the "Thrust Vectoring System Control Concept", Ulrich Schmid (Technische Universität Wien, Austria) made a presentation with the title "Applied Research: A Scientist's Perspective", and Harold W. Lawson (Lawson Konsult AB, Sweden) addressed "Systems Engineering of a Successful Train Control System".</p>
