Book Description

Control of Distributed Parameter Systems 1982 covers the proceeding of the Third International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) Symposium on Control of Distributed Parameter Systems. The book reviews papers that tackle issues concerning the control of distributed parameter systems, such as modeling, identification, estimation, stabilization, optimization, and energy system. The topics that the book tackles include notes on optimal and estimation result of nonlinear systems; approximation of the parameter identification problem in distributed parameters systems; and optimal control of a punctually located heat source. This text also encompasses the stabilization of nonlinear parabolic equations and the decoupling approach to the control of large spaceborne antenna systems. Stability of Hilbert space contraction semigroups and the tracking problem in the fractional representation approach are also discussed. This book will be of great interest to researchers and professionals whose work concerns automated control systems.

Book Description

Distributed Parameter Control Systems: Theory and Application is a two-part book consisting of 10 theoretical and five application-oriented chapters contributed by well-known workers in the distributed-parameter systems. The book covers topics of distributed parameter control systems in the areas of simulation, identification, state estimation, stability, control (optimal, stochastic, and coordinated), numerical approximation methods, optimal sensor, and actuator positioning. Five applications works include chemical reactors, heat exchangers, petroleum reservoirs/aquifers, and nuclear reactors. The text will be a useful reference for both graduate students and professional researchers working in the field.

Book Description

Safety of Computer Control Systems 1983: Achieving Safe Real Time Computer Systems contains the proceedings of the Third IFAC/IFIP Workshop held at Cambridge, UK on September 20-22, 1983. Composed of 36 chapters, separated into the eight sessions of the workshop, this book begins with a discussion of the safety and reliability of computer control systems. Subsequent chapters explore the systems design for safety and reliability; fault tolerance, recovery, and use of redundancy; and aspects of fault tolerance for system reliability. Other chapters detail specification techniques; system development and quality assurance; verifications and validations; case studies; as well as scheduling, networks, and communications.
