Advanced Practical Process Control (Advances in Soft Computing)

This text and reference offers an application-oriented approach to process control. It systematically explains process identification, control and optimization, the three key steps needed to solve a multivariable control problem.  Theory is discussed as far as it is needed to understand and solve the defined problem, while numerous examples written in MATLAB illustrate the problem-solving approach. A new software package for linear multivariable process identification and control is included with the book on CD-ROM. This package combines unique features of some multivariable control tools, while a detailed description of this software package is included in a separate appendix.
