Synopsis

This Proceedings contains the papers presented at the 8th IFAC Symposium on Computer Aided Control Systems Design held at Salford, UK on 11-13 September 2000. Modelling has emerged as a central issue here and industrial users require the development of modelling languages for both analyses and design as well as generic models and tools which can be used for system identification, optimisation and fault diagnostics. Linear lumped parameter systems of general complexity are currently well addressed by a range of commercially available packages. However, there is a dearth of tools suitable for the analysis and synthesis of large scale, distributed, non-linear, hybrid and stochastic systems which are increasingly a feature in modern manufacturing and process engineering. As the scale of the problems to be addressed increases, there is a need for numerically robust and efficient computational procedures linked to powerful interactive graphical interfaces which maximise the user of limited human resources, and, of course, standardised data bases which can be used with wide range of analysis and design procedures. Topics covered included the now traditional domains of algorithm architectures and tools and there was a very welcome emphasis on applications where no less than four sessions were devoted to this important aspect.
