SERIES EDITORS' FOREWORD

The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology impacts all areas of the control discipline.

New theory, new controllers, actuators, sensors, new industrial

processes, computing methods, new applications, new philosophies, ....... , new challenges. Much of this development work resides in industrial reports, feasibility study papers and the reports of advanced collaborative projects. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of such new work in all aspects of industrial control for wider and rapid dissemination. Over the last 20 years advanced control techniques for industrial applications have been developed which are computer friendly and are both flexible and robust A common feature of these algorithms is that they require greater computing power and may need to differentiate between background
