Advances in Automatic Control

The themes dealt with in the papers of this volume cover a large variety of topics in automatic control, including: stabilization of distributed parameter systems, disturbance attenuation in stochastic systems, analysis and simulation of discrete event systems, fault detection, characterization of linear periodic Hamiltonian systems, stability of time delay systems, flow invariance and componentwise asymptotic stability, distributed control, parametrization of stabilizing controller, vibration control, predictive control, fuzzy control, intelligent decision and control, optimal control, computer aided control, robot and CIM control, DVD and player control. The chapters present original theoretical and/or practical results in automatic control and highlight new aspects, interpretations and developments of some current issues in the field. Advances in Automatic Control is also suitable for use as a graduate-level text in engineering.Advances in Automatic Control is of interest to professionals and academics working in the fields of control theory, engineering applications of control, electrical engineering, power engineering, and electronics.
