This book has been conceived to progressively introduce concepts of increasing difficulty
and allow learning of theories and control methods in a way which is not too brutal. It …

In industrial applications, process delay and disturbance are considered to be major
concerns which are responsible for the deterioration in the performance of multivariable …

The process investigated herein is the quadruple tank system that is stable only within a
limited zone of operating parameters. The process model has been developed from …

This paper discusses challenges and opportunities in engineering education, in particular in
the area of control and automation, that have been made possible through advanced IT …

We present an Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) algorithm for solving
optimization problems with an ℓ 1 regularized least-squares cost function subject to …

The coupled tanks process is a two input-two output system. It presents a nonlinear behavior
and interactions characteristic. After the nonlinear model is obtained, it is linearized around …

The aim of this document is to present an efficient and systematic method of model‐based
predictive control synthesis. Model predictive control requires using a model of a dynamical …

This paper presents a new methodology to design multivariable PID controllers for two-input
and two-output systems. The proposed control strategy, which is centralized, combines four …

In this chapter, we consider stealthy cyber-and physical attacks against control systems,
where malicious adversaries aim at maximizing the impact on control performance, while …

The paper aims to compare and prove a pair of disturbance/uncertainty rejection control
laws for the well-known four-tank control problem. The control requirements are expressed …
