The Impact of Control Technology—2nd Ed.
Editors: Tariq Samad (Honeywell) and Anuradha Annaswamy (MIT)
ISBN: 978-0-692-24262-9
This report reviews a number of control technology accomplishments and presents prospects for future opportunities for the field. The material is in the form of 68 two-page full-color flyers, categorized in two sections:
• Success stories of deployed products and solutions that have been enabled by advanced control. All of the developments featured in this category have gone beyond simulation or laboratory demonstration and have achieved “real-world” impact.
• Research challenges that outline new opportunities for control technology toward future impact. The challenges are expressed in terms of societal and industry need, not control theory gaps, and point to the field’s promise and potential.
Individual flyers can be accessed in pdf form from the table of contents below and compilations for each section can also be downloaded. Two appendices contain e-mail addresses for corresponding authors, also by section.
Except where otherwise indicated, the report content is freely and publicly available for reuse with acknowledgement of the source. The report can be cited as: The Impact of Control Technology, 2nd edition, T. Samad and A.M. Annaswamy (eds.), IEEE Control Systems Society, 2014, available at www.ieeecss.org. Titles and authors of individual flyers should also be acknowledged as appropriate.
