Focusing on the modeling, control, simulation, and diagnosis of complex industrial systems, this book contains a collection of papers that have been developed under the aegis of ANIPLA (the national automation association of Italy), which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2006.Emphasis is...
Introduction The idea of feedback is deceptively simple and, yet, extremely powerful. Feedback can reduce the effects of disturbances, it can make a system insensitive to process variations and it can make a system follow commands faithfully. Feedback has also had a profound influence on technology...
