Systems Modelling and Optimization Proceedings of the 18th IFIP TC7 Conference / Edition 1

by Michael P. Polis

Overview

Top researchers in optimization and control from around the world gathered in Detroit for the 18th annual IFIP TC7 Conference on Systems Modelling and Optimization held in July 1997. The papers offered in this volume were selected from among the 250 plenary, invited, and contributed works presented at the conference. The editors chose these papers to represent the myriad and diverse range of topics within the field -in theory and applications-and to disseminate important new results.
The editors have organized the book into seven sections:

Distributed Parameter Systems

Modelling

Optimal Control and Nonsmoooth Analysis

Automotive

Optimization and Operations Research

Applications
· Reliability

Each section contains important advances in theoretical development of optimization and control, new results, and discussions of applications. Treatment of numerous and wide- ranging applications-from turbulent flows, European option pricing, and storage location, to wear processes, passive fire protection, and robotics-make this resource important for academic and industrial researchers working in a variety of areas in systems engineering and applied mathematics.

Editorial Reviews

Selected papers from a July 1997 conference cover either theoretical aspects of optimization and control or modeling and control applications. Papers are divided into sections on distributed parameter systems, optimal control and nonsmooth analysis, optimization and operations research, reliability, modeling, automotive, and applications. Specific topics include abundant subsets of generalized control systems, failure prone production systems with uncertain demand, and an interactive fuzzy modeling system. Of interest to academic and industrial researchers in systems engineering and applied mathematics. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
