System Theory: Modeling, Analysis and Control contains thirty-three scientific papers covering a wide range of topics in systems and control. These papers have been contributed to a symposium organized to celebrate Sanjoy K. Mitter's 65th birthday. The following research topics are addressed: distributed parameter systems, stochastic control, filtering and estimation, optimization and optimal control, image processing and vision, hierarchical systems and hybrid control, nonlinear systems, and linear systems. Also included are three survey papers on optimization, nonlinear filtering, and nonlinear systems. Recent advances are reported on the behavioral approach to systems, the relationship be...
To a large extent, our lives on this earth depend on systems that operate auto matically. Manysuchsystems can be found in nature and others are man made. These systems can be biological, electrical, mechanical, chemical, or ecological, to namejust a few categories. Our human body is full ofsystems whose conti nued automatic operation is vital for our existence. On a daily basis we come in contact with man made systems whose automatic operation ensures increa sed productivity, promotes economic development and improves the quality of life. A primary component that is responsible for the automatic operation of a system is a device or mechanism called the controller. In man made systems one mus...
Lists citations with abstracts for aerospace related reports obtained from world wide sources and announces documents that have recently been entered into the NASA Scientific and Technical Information Database.
This volume contains the research papers for the final Workshop of European Robotics Network (ERNET). ERNET is a research network created since 1993 in the framework of the Human and Capital Mobility Programme and supported by the Commission of European Communities with the focus on methodologies and applications in the area of Robotics. The participation of a large number of leading laboratories belonging to 10 European countries allowed the development of a significant number of joint research projects and a strong qualification of their goals and results. In this respect, this book is unique since it offers to the interested reader, both in academy and industry, the opportunity to enter the current major research streams in Europe referring to an exciting interdisciplinary area such as Robotics.
This slim supplement can serve as a course component in a variety of efforts to revise the Freshman Year Experience in a large number of Engineering departments and Schools of Engineering (particularly those schools involved in NSF-funded undergraduate curriculum reform, such as Texas A&M and Arizona State). The book is currently being used at UMass by Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Civil Engineers, and Chemical Engineers.
