Behandelt werden spezifische Technologien und Anwendungsfelder, die Aspekte verschiedener Disziplinen in sich vereinigen. Breiter Raum wird der Diskussion über Optimierung, Kosten, Sicherheit und Belange des Umweltschutzes gegeben; anhand von Fallstudien werden Erfolg und Versagen verschiedenster komplexer Systeme erläutert.

A graduate of Yale University, Dr. Samad received his MSEE and PhD degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. His other edited publications include Perspectives in Control Engineering: Applications, Technology, New Developments and Automation, Control, and Complexity: An Integrated View, both available from Wiley\/IEEE.  Technological developments increasingly require the conflicting criteria of performance, cost, environmental impact and safety to be reconciled. The field of complexity management addresses this challenge through the integration of traditionally disparate disciplines such as control science, software engineering, artificial intelligence and biology. Automation, Control and Complexity - An Integrated Approach is organised around four central themes: People and Automation, Sensing and Control, Software and Complex Systems and Complexity Management and Networks. Based upon a unique wealth of practical experience, this book exposes complexity as an opportunity to be seized rather than a problem to be confronted and will be of value to all technologists, managers, students and researchers dealing with complex engineering systems.
