The Control Handbook (three volume set) by William S Levine

The Control Handbook (three volume set) by William S Levine

Control System Applications covers the uses of control systems, both in the common and in the uncommon areas of our lives. From the everyday to the unusual and from process control to human-in-the-loop control, this book illustrates the diversity of control systems and provides examples of how theory can be applied to specific practical problems. It offers insight on aspects of control not fully captured by the theory, such as techniques for protecting against controller failure and the role of cost and complexity in specifying controller designs. Each chapter contains an introduction, a section defining terms, references, and suggestions for further reading.

Dr. William S. Levine received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from M.I.T. He then joined the faculty of the University of Maryland, College Park where he is currently Research Professor of ECE. Throughout his career, he has specialized in the design and analysis of control systems and related problems in estimation, filtering, and system modeling. Motivated by the desire to understand a collection of interesting controller designs, he has done a great deal of research on mammalian control of movement in collaboration with several neurophysiologists.

Dr. Levine is co-author of Using MATLAB to Analyze and Design Control Systems (1992, second edition, 1995) and editor of The Control Handbook (published by CRC Press in cooperation with IEEE Press), and of a series on control engineering for Birkhauser. He is also co-editor of The Handbook of Networked and Embedded Control Systems (published by Birkhauser, 2005). He has been president of the IEEE Control Systems Society and the American Cntrol Council. He is presently the Chairman of the SIAM special interest group Control Theory and its Applications.

Dr. Levine is a Fellow of the IEEE, a Distinguished Member of the IEEE Control Systems Society, and a recipient of the IEEE Third Millennium Medal. He and his collaborators received the Schroers Award for outstanding rotorcraft research in 1998. He and another group of collaborators received the award for outstanding paper in the IEEE Transactions on Auotomatic Control for "Discrete Time Point Processes in Urban Traffic Queue Estimation"
