Advanced Control of Chemical Processes 1991. Selected Papers from the IFAC Symposium, Toulouse, France, 14–16 October 1991

This volume contains 40 papers which describe the recent developments in advanced control of chemical processes and related industries. The topics of adaptive control, model-based control and neural networks are covered by 3 survey papers. New adaptive, statistical, model-based control and artificial intelligence techniques and their applications are detailed in several papers. The problem of implementation of control algorithms on a digital computer is also considered.
