Recent Advances in Computer-aided Control Systems Engineering


Book Description

The previous book on this subject by the above mentioned editors was published in 1985, and was very well received. Significant advances have been made in Computer-Aided Control Systems Engineering (CACSE) since that time, as evidenced by the contents of the present book. The main focus of this volume is on the research aspects of computer-aided control systems engineering, and is intended to be the first in a series on the topic. With the emphasis on current research the papers include subjects in six topical areas: Algorithms; Artificial Intelligence; Data Structures; Environments; Real Time Control; and Simulation. The twenty articles have been written by leading authorities in this field and will provide a definitive reference source for anyone interested in the latest advances and results of current experimental research in computer-aided control systems engineering.




Computer Aided Design in Control and Engineering Systems


Book Description

Computer Aided Design in Control and Engineering Systems contains the proceedings of the 3rd International Federation of Automatic Control/International Federation for Information Processing Symposium held in Lyngby, Denmark, from July 31 to August 2, 1985. The papers review the state of the art and the trends in development of computer aided design (CAD) of control and engineering systems, techniques, procedures, and concepts. This book is comprised of 74 chapters divided into 17 sections and begins with a description of a prototype computer environment that combines expert control system analysis and design tools. The discussion then turns to decision support systems which could be used to address problems of management and control of large-scale multiproduct multiline batch manufacturing outside the mechanical engineering industries. The following chapters focus on the use of CAD in control education, industrial applications of CAD, and hardware/software systems. Some examples of universal and specialized CAD packages are presented, and applications of CAD in electric power plants, process control systems, and transportation systems are highlighted. The remaining chapters look at CAD/computer aided engineering/computer aided manufacturing systems as well as the use of mathematical methods in CAD. This monograph will be of interest to practitioners in computer science, computer engineering, and industrial engineering.
