Adaptive and iterative control algorithms based on explicit criterion minimization are briefly
reviewed and an overview of one such algorithm, iterative feedback tuning (IFT), is …

This paper considers the problem of designing a controller for an unknown plant based on
input/output measurements. The new design method we propose is direct (no model …

Adaptive Control (second edition) shows how a desired level of system performance can be
maintained automatically and in real time, even when process or disturbance parameters …

Identification of systems operating in closed loop has long been of prime interest in industrial
applications. The problem offers many possibilities, and also some fallacies, and a wide …

The links between identification and control are examined. The main trends in this research
area are summarized, with particular focus on the design of low complexity controllers from a …

The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer
in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all …

This paper presents the author's views on the development of identification for control. The
paper reviews the emergence of this subject as a specific topic over the last 15 years, at the …

This article reviews the development of experiment design in the field of identification of
dynamical systems, from the early work of the seventies on input design for open loop …

An overview is given of some current research activities on the design of high-performance
controllers for plants with uncertain dynamics, based on approximate identification and …

Some 20 years ago, formulae were presented for the set of all linear time-invariant
controllers stabilizing a linear time-invariant plant. This paper traces the development of …
