Distributed Control and Filtering for Industrial Systems
In recent years technological advancements in the design and fabrication of integrated circuits have led to the development of cost effective, low power, thumb-size devices that can be used for sensing/actuating, communication and computing. This trend is enabling a surge of new applications for which pervasive network architectures are being developed. A key feature of these systems is that they are decentralized and communication among different subsystems may be unreliable. From an engineering viewpoint, to ensure correct operation, the theoretical analysis requires a fundamental paradigm shift, as many of the typical assumptions of systems and control theory cease to hold. Distributed Control and Filtering for Industrial Systems provides an introduction to the control and filtering algorithms devised for distributed environments, with a particular emphasis on industrial applications. Topics covered include control architectures for interconnected systems, recent developments in distributed model predictive control for interconnected networked systems, methods for designing distributed linear quadratic controllers for various classes of systems, designing distributed dynamic output-feedback controllers, characterization of distributed consensus control methods, distributed estimation techniques, distributed Kalman filtering methods, experimental setups and simulation of pilot-scale industrial processes.

Intelligent Control Systems using Computational Intelligence Techniques
Intelligent Control techniques are becoming important tools in both academia and industry. Methodologies developed in the field of soft-computing, such as neural networks, fuzzy systems and evolutionary computation, can lead to accommodation of more complex processes, improved performance and considerable time savings and cost reductions. Intelligent Control Systems using Computational Intellingence Techniques details the application of these tools to the field of control systems. Each chapter gives and overview of current approaches in the topic covered, with a set of the most important references in the field, and then details the author's approach, examining both the theory and practical applications.

Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems
As a new strategy to realize the goal of flexible, robust, fault-tolerant robotic systems, the distributed autonomous approach has quickly established itself as one of the fastest growing fields in robotics. This book is one of the first to devote itself solely to this exciting area of research, covering such topics as self-organization, communication and coordination, multi-robot manipulation and control, distributed system design, distributed sensing, intelligent manufacturing systems, and group behavior. The fundamental technologies and system architectures of distributed autonomous robotic systems are expounded in detail, along with the latest research findings. This book should prove indispensable not only to those involved with robotic engineering but also to those in the fields of artificial intelligence, self-organizing systems, and coordinated control.

ICAOS ’96 12th International Conference on Analysis and Optimization of Systems
This volume contains the proceedings of ICAOS '96 the 12th International Conference on Analysis and Optimization of Systems. This conference was co-organized by INRIA and the CEREMADE and was dedicated to Images, Wavelets and PDE's. The aim of the conference was to discuss the impact on image analysis of recent mathematical developments in multiscale analysis, partial differential equations, variational methods and so on. ICAOS '96 provided a forum for image processing researchers and mathematicians to interact and to exchange their technical knowledge and experience, theoretical or practical, in this emerging and exciting domain. The selected papers have been organized according to the following sessions, each session corresponding to a section of the book: 1. Active Contours; 2. Image Enhancement and Restoration, Scale-Spaces; 3. Wavelets; 4. Image Segmentation; 5. Image Restoration; 6. Coding; 7. Applications.
