Modeling and Control of Complex SystemsAuthor(s): Petros A. Ioannou, Andreas Pitsillides\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Inc, United States\nImprint: CRC Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9780849379857, 978-0849379857\nSynopsis\nComprehension of complex systems comes from an understanding of not only the behavior of constituent elements but how they act together to form the behavior of the whole. However, given the multidisciplinary nature of complex systems, the scattering of information across different areas creates a chaotic situation for those trying to understand possible solutions and applications.\n\nModeling and Control of Complex Systems brings together a number of research experts to present some of their latest approaches and future research directions in a language accessible to system theorists. Contributors discuss complex systems such as networks for modeling and control of civil structures, vehicles, robots, biomedical systems, fluid flow systems, and home autom.
