"The field of Intelligent Control has expanded rapidly in recent years with many theoretical and practical results that go beyond those of classical controls. This book presents a collection of timely contributions that cover a well- selected range of topics within the field, including the latest issues of human-machine systems, linguistic communication systems, and automatic verification of intelligent control software. The book contains eighteen chapters written by forty-four experts, and is divided into the following three parts: Part 1: Intelligent Control Surveys; Part 2: Intelligent Control Methods; Part 3: Intelligent Control Applications. Part 1 contains four chapters providing general overviews of intelligent control, fuzzy and neural control, and their industrial applications. Part 2 presents a set of important methods with emphasis on neural, fuzzy and neurofuzzy control concepts and techniques. Finally, Part 3 deals with the application of intelligent control to robotic manipulators, automatic power generation control, manufacturing systems, and welding processes. The book can serve as a reference volume for the researcher and practitioner in the field, and as a rich information source for the teacher and student in related postgraduate programs. Readers can thus save considerable time in searching the scattered literature in the field."
