As the 21st century nears, there is a need to seriously reconsider many aspects of modeling and controlling large, complex, man-made systems. Integration of technologies and functions requires deep interdisciplinary expertise and technical breadth for successful implementation. Large scale systems theory can play a central role in this effort and it is a strongly held belief that this approach will continue to be of major importance in the future.
The carved and painted figures collected in this exceptional book are excellent examples of a wide-spread American folk art tradition that flourished from the middle of the 18th to the end of the 19th-century. 183 photographic illustrations, 4 reproduced in full-color on the covers. List of illustrations. Extensive bibliography.
The papers present new trends on the development of theory and applications in the field of large scale systems analysis, planning and control. The issues discussed are proving to be of great importance as systems of growing complexity are found in all fields of human activities, often developed by economic, organizational and technological effects. The papers are divided into three main areas of interest; Modelling, Analysis, Basic Controls; Superordinate Controls and Decisions; Applications.
A beloved folk performer gathers uninhibited tales and ballads from the Appalachians. Full of lively stories, jokes, and games for performance, the folklore in this book reflects the hardships, humor, and creative instincts of the robust men and women from the hills of Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky. The 40 songs features melody and guitar chords. Includes 44 illustrations.
This volume contains the papers presented at the 9th IFAC Symposium on Large Scale Systems: Theory and Applications (LSS 2001), held in Bucharest, Romania, 18-20 July 2001. Its aim was to address the control aspects of those industrial, economic, social and environmental systems whose characteristics are high dimensionality, non-linearity and uncertainty, associated with a multitude of structural forms, with intense and time critical information exchange and efficient co-ordination. The symposium covered all major aspects of large scale, complex systems including methodological aspects, technological solutions and practical applications. methodological aspects and those devoted to practical applications. Several invited sessions were organised, including papers from leading world experts. The papers are ordered in accordance with the technical sessions. Session topics include methodology and application fields, traditional to this Symposium series. Topics covered include the following: modelling and model reduction; decentralized control and estimation; hierarchical control; intelligent and fuzzy control; nonlinear dynamics in complex systems; complex systems theory and analysis; water, gas, power systems; large scale CIMs and production planning and scheduling; communication and information systems; transportation systems; modelling and control of wastewater treatment plants and societal systems modelling, planning and management. technical programme, such as decision support systems and risk and governance in large-scale systems. More recent issues, such as risk management and human decision in large-scale systems, were well received by the symposium participants and provide an extra dimension to volume.
The book presents a clear understanding of a new type of computation system, the Cellular Neural Network (CNN), which has been successfully applied to the solution of many heavy computation problems, mainly in the fields of image processing and complex partial differential equations. The text describes how CNN will improve the soft-computation toolbox, and examines the many applications of soft computing to complex systems.
This book presents the most recent concerns and research results in industrial fault diagnosis using intelligent techniques. It focuses on computational intelligence applications to fault diagnosis with real-world applications used in different chapters to validate the different diagnosis methods. The book includes one chapter dealing with a novel coherent fault diagnosis distributed methodology for complex systems.
