Real-Life Case Studies
A wide range of case studies, spanning a number of industrial processes, have been drawn from the personal experiences of the authors. They have been carefully structured to expose the reader to many of the core issues in realistic control problems. All examples are tightly integrated with the text and have been carefully chosen to illustrate many key issues including nonlinearities, multivariable interaction, non-ideal sensor and actuators etc.
