EDITORIAL
**** FROM THE OLD EDITORS ****
Contributed by: Brad Dickinson and Eduardo Sontag
Starting with the current issue, the Eletter will be jointly edited by
Anton A. Stoorvogel and Siep Weiland, who kindly agreed to take over the job.
We would like to thank our readers for their contributions, starting with
our first issue on September 2, 1986. During these almost 7 years, Eletter
has established itself as a major mode of communication in the controls
and signals community, and is an "official activity" of both the IEEE Control
Systems Society and the SIAM Activity Group in Control and Systems Theory.
It now has over 1300 subscribers. Moreover, many other "Eletters", such as
the one in Signal Processing, have been started following Eletter's example.
We could not be more delighted at this success.
We wish the best of luck to Anton and Siep!
Brad Dickinson and Eduardo Sontag

Student Best Paper Competition Results
This is the fifth year that the CDC Best Student Paper Competition has
been carried out. This award was initiated by Steve Yurkovich, a past
chairman of student activities, to recognize outstanding student
researchers.
This year 36 students were nominated by their advisors for the award.
The 36 nominated papers were sent to 19 reviewers for consideration, with
each paper being reviewed by four different researchers. From the scores
received from these reviewers, four finalists were determined. These four
finalists were then submitted to a Blue Ribbon Committee consisting of four
distinguished researchers within the Control Systems Society. The task of
this committee was to choose the overall winner from the four finalists.
Certificates were given to the following three finalists:
(1) Z. Pan, Advisor: Prof. T. Basar, Hinfinite-Optimal Control for
Singularly Perturbed Systems, Part II: Imperfect State Measurements
(2) H. Siegelmann, Advisor: Prof. Eduardo D. Sontag, Some Recent Results on
Computing with Neural Networks
(3) Li-Xin Wang, Advisor: Prof. Jerry Mendel, Stable Adaptive Fuzzy Control
of Nonlinear Systems
A plaque was given to the winner:

CALL FOR PAPERS
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL
Special Issue on H_infinity and Robust Estimation
There has been a growing interest over the past few years on
H_infinity and robust filtering. A basic theory has been developed
which covers both continuous and discrete time cases. A number of
important results have also been obtained on the related problems of
mixed H2/H_infinity filtering, robust smoothing, and identification.
The International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control plans to
publish a special issue on H_infinity and robust estimation covering
recent developments in this area. This issue is expected to be
published in early 1994. The topics in mind for this special issue
are: The theory of H_infinity filtering and smoothing; robust signal
estimation; multi-objective estimation; game theory approach to
estimation and identification; numerical considerations of signal
estimation schemes. Both theoretical and applications-oriented
research papers are sought.

Dear colleagues, I wish to remind you that the state of Czechoslovakia
will cease to exist at the end of this month since it will be split
into two independent states on Jan. 1, 1993. From that date on, please
use in your mail the name "Czech Republic" for the west part (with capi-
tal Prague) and "Slovak Republic" for the east one (capital Bratislava).
With my best season greetings to all of you,

The Neuroenineering program element of the Engineering Systems Program
at NSF gives special priority to proposals in the areas of
"neurocontrol," "neuroidentification" and improved supervised learning.
In practice, this means that proposals which involve learning in
nonlinear adaptive control and approximate dynamic
programming, written by people with real expertise in the relevant
areas of control theory, have a relatively high probability of funding.
At NSF probability of funding is always relative, of course:
this program element has a total budget of about $1.5 million,
and an acceptance rate in the usual range of 10-20 percent for all
proposals. Those who are interested in this are
are urged to look at the new Handbook of Intelligent Control, edited
by White and Sofge, Van Nostrand, 1992 (out since September) which
describes a lot of the work we have supported in the past.
This year, there are some special additional priorities, related to
initiatives. These are in the areas of High Performance Computing and
Communication, and Manufacturing. Proposals which qualify as related
to either of those areas will have a higher probability of funding
than do others. Thus test problems of interest to manufacturing
(e.g. with letters of interest from industry) are worthwhile, SO LONG as
the designs being tested are innovative, and the underlying work is
credible. Diagnostic kinds of analysis are certainly welcome.
In High Performance C&C, special emphasis is given to optical
technologies, and the needs of large scale future information systems.
This program element has a "soft" deadline of the end of February. This
means that proposals should be sent to the NSF proposal processing office by
that date (meeting the format requirements of the new GRESE!), and a
an extra copy should be mailed to me directly to arrive by March 1, if
possible, to help me schedule panel review. (Room 1151, NSF, DC 20550).
A typical proposal would be 60K or less per year for three years,
though proposals suitable for cofunding and the like might be 100K
/year. Proposals arriving too late in March may not make it to panel
review, or may receive less attention from reviewers; this would
reduce the probability of funding.
Good luck.

I am in the process of compiling a survey of linear or nonlinear differential
algebraic equations (also known as singular, descriptor, or semi-state systems)
of index four or higher which occur in applications. One way that these systems
occur is in path or other constrained control problems where the relative
degree is three or higher. I would be interested in any papers, preprints, or
reports dealing with problems of degree three or higher. Both general
discussions and specific models are being sought. Hardcopy or email can be sent
directly to the addresses below.
The report will hopefully be ready for public distribution by sometime this
summer.
Thank you for your assistance.

CESAME HAS MOVED TO A NEW ADDRESS
The Centre for Systems Engineering and Applied Mechanics (CESAME) of the
Universite Catholique de Louvain was created in 1991 by the integration of
the Applied Mechanics Group (MEMA) and the Automatic Control Group (AUTO)
of the School of Engineering. CESAME is in charge of a Technology Transfer
Centre funded by the Regional Government. It is also the pilot team in
charge of an Inter University Pole of Attraction on ``Modeling, Simulation
and Control of Complex Systems'', funded by the Belgian Ministry of
Science. The associated teams involved in this Centre are at the
Universities of Leuven, Brussels, Gent and Namur.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
IT Workshop on Coding, System Theory, and Symbolic Dynamics
October 18-20, 1993
Boston area
Recent results in coding, system theory and symbolic dynamics have
highlighted common concepts and results in the three fields.
* Although convolutional codes have long been characterized as linear
systems over fields, coding theorists have recognized only recently
that block codes and lattices also have dynamical (trellis)
structure, and that many good trellis codes may be best
characterized as systems over groups.
* Symbolic dynamics has become an essential tool for the design of
codes for constrained channels; this coding application has in turn
spawned new research areas for symbolic dynamicists.
* Willems has championed a behavioral approach to system theory in
which a system is characterized by the set of its output sequences,
from which the dynamics of the system are deduced. This viewpoint
is congenial to both coding theorists and symbolic dynamicists.
Each field has its own language and viewpoint, which has posed
barriers to sharing results and concepts. The purposes of this
workshop are to promote communication between workers in these three
areas, to highlight commonalities, and to present cutting-edge
research problems in each field with the hope that cross-fertilization
will promote progress.
The organizers plan a number of invited tutorial lectures specifically
for interspecialty communication. Leading workers in each field will
also be invited to present surveys of current research, with less
emphasis on solved problems than on open ones. Finally, there will be
both invited and contributed papers presenting recent research
results. A minimum requirement for any paper will be that it touch at
least two of the three areas.
The arrangements for the Workshop are currently underway, and more
information will be available soon. If you have an interest in
participating in the Workshop, please contact one of the organizers
listed below; you will then be kept informed of Workshop plans.

Subject: Call for Papers for CACSD'94 (Computer-Aided Control System Design)
ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
JOINT SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTER-AIDED CONTROL SYSTEM DESIGN
1994 IEEE Symposium on Computer-Aided Control System Design (CACSD'94)
6th IFAC Symposium on Computer-Aided Design in Control Systems (CADCS'94)
March 7-9, 1994
Tucson, Arizona
Sponsored by
The IEEE Control System Society
Organized by
The IEEE Control System Society
Technical Committee on Computer-Aided Control System Design
and
The International Federation of Automatic Control
Education Technical Committee (IFAC/EDCOM)
Systems Engineering Technical Committee (IFAC/SECOM)
The 1994 Joint IEEE/IFAC Symposium on Computer-Aided Control System
Design brings together research paper presentations, panel sessions, surveys,
tutorials, large-scale industrial applications, and software/hardware
demonstrations of tools and techniques related to the automated design of
control systems.
The spectrum of this conference covers all aspects of computer-aided
control system design including
. Algorithms for CACSD
The 1994 CACSD Conference places special emphasis on algorithms for
intelligent controller design (algorithms for the automated design of
fuzzy controllers, neural-network controllers, fault-tolerant controllers,
high-autonomy system controllers), but papers in all other areas of CACSD
algorithms are also welcome.
. Data Structures for CACSD
The focus of previous CACSD conferences was mainly on classical and
modern time- and frequency-domain design methods. Data structures
necessary for such design algorithms were mostly limited to linear matrix
algebra, polynomials and rational functions over complex variables, and
polynomial matrices. Discussions of data structures necessary to support
the design of intelligent controllers are of great interest to this
conference.
. Software Tools for CACSD
We welcome contributions describing tools for the implementation of CACSD
algorithms, such as Matlab toolboxes for specific CACSD methodologies.
. Support Environments for CACSD
In the past, controller design usually led to a simple matrix or transfer
function that was easily implemented. No computer support was needed to
translate the control system design into a controller implementation.
With the advent of more complex controllers for more complex systems, this
is no longer true. The 1994 CACSD conference will therefore provide a
forum to discuss CASE 4 CACE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering for
Computer-Aided Control Engineering). Contributions that describe tools
and techniques for the support/simplification of
- the design of control algorithms
- the integration of CACSD tools
- the translation of CACSD algorithms into control implementations
- the validation of controller designs/realizations
- the design/implementation of fault monitors for plant and controller
are therefore of strong interest to this conference.
DEADLINES:
. July 31, 1993 Full papers due (five copies).
. September 30, 1993 Notification of acceptance to authors.
. November 30, 1993 Camera Ready Copies due.
Manuscripts should be submitted to the General Chairman of the conference
together with a cover letter stating your name, affiliation, mailing address,
telephone number, FAX number, and e_mail address. Electronic submission of
manuscripts is encouraged. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two
members of the International Program Committee. After the conference, authors
may re-submit their papers for post-conference publication to either IFAC or
IEEE journals.

CALL FOR PAPERS
*************************************************************
* Symposium : *
* CYBERNETIC PRINCIPLES OF KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT *
*************************************************************
as part of the
12th European Meeting on Cybernetics and Systems Research
EMCSR'94, Vienna, April 5-8, 1994
About the Symposium:
====================
A symposium in collaboration with the Principia Cybernetica Project (PCP)
will be held at EMCSR'94. Chairmen are F. Heylighen (representing PCP) and
S. Umpleby. The theme is a cybernetic perspective on the creation and
evolution of knowledge, with special emphasis on methods of model
construction in science. We wish to focus on both fundamental principles
(what is knowledge, what is science, which criteria distinguish adequate
knowledge, how does knowledge originate and develop, what is the role of
induction, abduction, blind variation, selection, recombination, memetic
spreading...) and practical applications (which methods and tools can help
us to steer or improve the generation of knowledge). The latter is
especially important for the Principia Cybernetica Project, as a
collaborative computer-supported attempt to develop philosophical
knowledge.
The EMCSR meetings are possibly the most important and best organized large
congresses in their domain. Though they are traditionally called
"European", they really bring together researchers from all continents,
albeit with a relative large proportion of people from Central and Eastern
Europe. Among the distinctive features are the high quality,
well-distributed Proceedings, which are available at the start of the
Conference. This implies that papers should be submitted (to the Congress
secretariat, not to the chairpersons!) quite a while before the start of
the conference. The official CFP and preliminary programme of EMCSR'94 are
appended below.
After the succesful organization of a symposium at the 8th World Congress
of Systems and Cybernetics (New York, 1990), of the 1st Workshop of the
Principia Cybernetica Project (Brussels, 1991), and of a Symposium at the
13th Int. Congress on Cybernetics (Namur, 1992), this will be the fourth
official activity of the Principia Cybernetica Project.

About Principia Cybernetica:
============================
The Principia Cybernetica Project (PCP) is a collaborative attempt to
develop a complete cybernetic and evolutionary philosophy. Such a
philosophical system should arise from a transdisciplinary unification and
foundation of the domain of Systems Theory and Cybernetics. Similar to the
metamathematical character of Whitehead and Russell's "Principia
Mathematica", PCP is meta-cybernetical in that we intend to use cybernetic
tools and methods to analyze and develop cybernetic theory.
These include the computer-based tools of hypertext, electronic mail,
electronic publishing, and knowledge structuring software. They are meant
to support the process of collaborative theory-building by a variety of
contributors, with different backgrounds and living in different parts of
the world. PCP will thus naturally develop in the "cyberspace" of data
shared through interlinked electronic networks, as implemented for example
in the World-Wide Web distributed hypertext software.
PCP is to be developed as a dynamic, multi-dimensional conceptual network.
The basic architecture consists of nodes, containing expositions and
definitions of concepts, connected by links, representing the associations
that exist between the concepts. Both nodes and links can belong to
different types, expressing different semantic and practical categories.
As its name implies, PCP will focus on the clarification of fundamental
concepts and principles of the broadly defined domain of cybernetics and
systems, which includes related disciplines such as the "sciences of
complexity", AI, ALife, Cognitive Science, Evolutionary Systems, etc.
Concepts include: Complexity, Information, Entropy, System, Freedom,
Control, Self-organization, Emergence, etc. Principles include Natural
Selection, and the Laws of Requisite Variety, of Requisite Hierarchy, and
of Regulatory Models.
The PCP philosophical system is to be seen as a clearly thought out and
well-formulated, global "world view", integrating the different domains of
knowledge and experience. It should provide an answer to the basic
questions: "Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going to?".
The PCP philosophy is systemic and evolutionary, based on the spontaneous
emergence of higher levels of organization or control (metasystem
transitions) through blind variation and natural selection. It includes:
a) a metaphysics, based on processes or actions as ontological primitives,
b) an epistemology, which understands knowledge as constructed by the
subject or group, but undergoing selection by the environment;
c) an ethics, with survival and the continuance of the process of
evolution as supreme values.
Philosophy and implementation of PCP are united by their common framework
based on cybernetic and evolutionary principles: the computer-support
system is intended to amplify the spontaneous development of knowledge
which forms the main theme of the philosophy.
PCP is managed by a board of editors, presently: V. Turchin [CUNY, New
York], C. Joslyn [NASA and SUNY Binghamton] and F. Heylighen [Free Univ. of
Brussels]. Contributors are kept informed through the PRNCYB-L electronic
mailing list, and the Principia Cybernetica Newsletter. Further activities
of PCP are publications in journals or books, and the organization of
meetings or symposia.
More information about PCP is available by anonymous ftp to is1.vub.ac.be,
directory /pub/projects/Principia_Cybernetica, or by email request to

Conference Announcement and Call For Papers
FROM ANIMALS TO ANIMATS
Third International Conference on Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB94)
Brighton, UK, August 8-12, 1994
The object of the conference is to bring together researchers in
ethology, psychology, ecology, cybernetics, artificial intelligence,
robotics, and related fields so as to further our understanding of
the behaviors and underlying mechanisms that allow animals and,
potentially, robots to adapt and survive in uncertain environments.
The conference will focus particularly on well-defined models,
computer simulations, and built robots in order to help characterize
and compare various organizational principles or architectures
capable of inducing adaptive behavior in real or artificial animals.
Contributions treating any of the following topics from the
perspective of adaptive behavior will receive special emphasis.
Individual and collective behavior Autonomous robots
Neural correlates of behavior Hierarchical and parallel organizations
Perception and motor control Emergent structures and behaviors
Motivation and emotion Problem solving and planning
Action selection and behavioral Goal directed behavior
sequences Neural networks and evolutionary
Ontogeny, learning and evolution computation
Internal world models Characterization of environments
and cognitive processes Applied adaptive behavior
Authors should make every effort to suggest implications of their
work for both natural and artificial animals. Papers which do not
deal explicitly with adaptive behavior will be rejected.
Submission Instructions
Authors are requested to send five copies (hard copy only) of a full paper
to the Program Chair (Dave Cliff). Papers should not exceed 10 pages
(excluding the title page), with 1 inch margins all around, and no smaller
than 10 pt (12 pitch) type (Times Roman preferred).

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
------------------
The 1993 SCS European Simulation Symposium is structured around four
major themes: applications of simulation in information systems,
simulation aspects of multimedia systems and virtual reality, high-
performance computing and simulation, and new trends in simulation
methods and tools. A parallel track will be devoted to each of the four
topics.
1. DYNAMIC MODELLING AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Simulation is a fruitful approach for analyzing dynamic aspects
of information systems, including the behaviour of actors and
organizations employing information systems. The approach
recognizes that activities happen concurrently in organizations,
and that methods are needed to adequately model concurrency.
Dynamic modelling techniques are useful for problem solving in
production and administrative logistics. Topics include:
- dynamic modelling of information systems
- CAD, CAM, CIM, CIME, CAE systems
- simulation and scheduling
- concurrent engineering techniques
2. MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS AND VIRTUAL REALITY
Due to the decreased prices of powerful hardware and the
introduction of specialized hardware, multimedia systems and
virtual reality are currently in the focus of attention. As
virtual reality has many aspects in common with simulation, and
as simulation output and model building can benefit highly from
multimedia technology, we are looking for papers on:
- multimedia, hypermedia, data compression / fusion
- virtual reality techniques and applications
- simulation in education and training
- simulation in entertainment and gaming
3. HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING AND SIMULATION
Much research is spent nowadays on methods, algorithms and
software for parallel and distributed hardware. There are strong
relations between simulation and parallel processing. In
large-scale, complex and real-time simulation, parallel
processing is used to increase performance. On the other hand,
simulation is useful in the analysis and evaluation of parallel
processes. Conference topics include:
- parallel methods in (continuous, discrete) simulation
- software tools for simulation on parallel and distributed
hardware
- applications of simulation on parallel and distributed
hardware
- simulation of (massively) parallel processes, neural networks
4. NEW TRENDS IN METHODS AND TOOLS
More and more fields recognize the importance of simulation
nowadays. Conversely, other disciplines are being introduced into
the simulation field such as graphics and knowledge engineering.
This sets new goals for simulation methods and tools. The
integration of simulation and artificial intelligence, object
oriented analysis and design, visualisation technology, and other
fields, remain relatively unexplored. We therefore would like to
receive papers on:
- methods and techniques in simulation
- (object-oriented) simulation software tools, advanced
environments
- DBMS, AI and neural networks in simulation
- iconics, animation, graphics, scientific visualisation
Simulation in EC projects
-------------------------
Sessions will be organized dealing with simulation in EC ESPRIT and
DELTA projects. These sessions will be included as separate sessions
in the above tracks.
Invited speakers
----------------
In each of the four tracks of the conference, an invited speaker will
give a special in-depth presentation, which will be included in the
proceedings of the conference.
Furthermore, two plenary presentations will be given by:
Henk G. Sol, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands
Dynamic Modelling of Information Systems
Ben Delaney, Cyberedge Journal, USA
The Relation between Simulation, Virtual Reality and Multimedia
Technology
--------------------------
DEADLINES AND REQUIREMENTS
--------------------------
Extended abstracts of the papers (two pages typewritten without
drawings and tables) are due to arrive IN QUADRUPLICATE at the SCS
European Office BEFORE MARCH 25, 1993. Please, mention in your
abstract the novel elements in your research and its contribution to
the field of simulation.
Only original papers, written in English, which have not previously
been published elsewhere will be accepted. In case you want to
organize a panel discussion, please contact the program chairman.
Authors are expected to register early (at a reduced fee) and to
attend the conference at their own expense to present the accepted
papers. Without early registration and payment, the paper will not be
published in the Conference Proceedings.
Each abstract will be reviewed by at least three members of the
International Program Committee. The notification of acceptance or
rejection will be sent by MAY 15, 1993.
An author kit with complete instructions for preparing a camera-ready
copy for the Proceedings will be sent to authors of accepted
abstracts. The camera-ready copy of the papers must be in by AUGUST
15, 1993. In order to guarantee a high-quality conference, the full
papers will be reviewed as well, to check whether the suggestions of
the program committee have been incorporated. The nominees for the
best paper awards will then be selected as well.
The official conference language and the language of the accepted
papers is English.
-----------------
BEST PAPER AWARDS
-----------------
The 1993 European Simulation Symposium will award the best four
papers, one in each of the four tracks. From these four papers, the
best overall paper of the conference will be chosen. The selection
procedure will be as follows: The Program Committee nominates the four
best papers in each track. The 16 chosen papers will be presented in
four special sessions, where the presentation of the paper and the
response to questions will be judged as well. In each track, one paper
will be chosen as best paper of that track. The awarded papers will be
published in an International Journal, if necessary after
incorporating modifications in the paper.
The Program Committee chooses the overall best paper of the conference
from these four papers. The author of the best paper will be awarded
at the conference dinner.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
==================================================================
2nd International Workshop on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation
of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (MASCOTS'94)
(Sponsored by the ACM SIGSIM, ACM SIGARCH, ACM SIGMETRICS, SCS,
IEEE TCSIM, IEEE TCARCH, IFIP WG 7.3)
January 1994, Durham, North Carolina, USA.
========================================================================
SCOPE
MASCOTS'94 is a workshop for researchers, practition-
ers, developers and experts with interests in systems
design, modeling, analysis, simulation, and performance
evaluation to meet and discuss tools, technologies, and
methodologies for studying the performance of computer and
communications systems. Performance, robustness and relia-
bility predictions of current and future computer and com-
munication systems are both important and challenging. The
repertoire of the contemporary system designer must include
a wide spectrum of theoretical and pragmatic tools. This
workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners
to meet and discuss the spectrum of theory and application
of performance technologies. Contributions to the program
are invited in areas such as (but not limited to) the fol-
lowing:
Advances in techniques, methodologies, and tools relating to:
--Performance models
--Discrete simulation
--Performance animation and visualization
--Trace collection and useage
--System tuning
--Application program tuning
--Numeric simulation and Visualisation Techniques
--Analytic modeling
--Specification and validation techniques
Application and Case Studies might relate to systems such as:
--Parallel and distributed systems
--Parallel and distributed applications
--Computer architecture
--Memory hierarchies and network memory systems
--Database systems
--Massively parallel and scalable systems
--Telecommunication/communication systems
--Application systems like DSP/AI applications and expert
systems/Vision and Image Processing Systems/Robotics and Control etc
AUTHOR INFORMATION:
Papers that deal with these themes, both methodological and specific
case study-oriented, are solicited. We are especially interested in
papers on innovative modeling and/or simulation techniques that are
expected to survive the onslaught of technological advances and remain
current for a reasonable period of time.
The workshop will have prominent guest speakers, presentations of
refereed papers, panel sessions, tool and poster presentations. In
addition, there will be tutorials on introductory and advanced topics.
All submissions will be blind reviewed.
Put names, affiliations and addresses for correspondence (postal and
electronic) of authors on a separate cover. Papers must not exceed 20
double-spaced pages (and will normally be limited to 6 typeset pages
when they are published). Provide an abstract and 3-4 keywords.
An author of each accepted paper is required to attend the meeting
and to present the paper. There will be an award for the authors of
the best paper.
A limited number of posters/short papers may also be admitted. For
posters, an extended abstract of maximum 4 double-spaced pages must be
submitted. Full-length papers and poster abstracts will appear in the
proceedings.
Proposals for tutorials must contain a brief description of the theme,
target audience, proposed time duration and an outline of the
presentation. Panel proposals should be based on a current theme that can
generate a lively discussion. A brief position statement from the each
panelist of a panel will be included in the proceedings.
A selected set of high-quality papers, tutorials, tools,
state-of-the-art and invited lectures (revised and enlarged) will be
published in a major journal.
Send four copies of your papers and posters to the Program
Committee Chair at the address given below. Panel

This book provides a broad coverage of the Polynomial Equation Approach in a
range of linear control and filtering problems. Kucera's book of 1979,
Discrete Linear Control: the polynomial equation approach, is the landmark
work in this area. Although polynomials had been used much earlier in control
synthesis problems, Discrete Linear Control was the first text to rigorously
formalise the approach; it incorporated Kucera's earlier work on
parameterising all stabilising feedback controllers and, directly building on
this most fundamental result, derived the design equations for some key
multivariable regulation problems. The development, resting entirely on
polynomial matrix algebra, was completed by the inclusion of numerical
algorithms. It is on these foundations that the range of subsequent work
described in this volume lies; we describe the extension of Kucera's ideas
into a very wide spectrum of control and filtering problems.
The principal feature of the approach is the description of systems in
fractional form using transfer-functions. This representation leads quite
naturally and directly to the parameterisation of all `acceptable' feedback
controllers for a given problem in the form of a Diophantine equation over
polynomials. In the Polynomial Equation Approach this direct parameterisation
is explicitly carried through to the synthesis of controllers and filters, and
further, to the computer implementation of numerical algorithms. A detailed
discussion of these motivating factors is given in chapter~1 which, fittingly,
has been written by Vladimir Kucera.
Direct polynomial methods have received comparatively little attention in
relation to the alternative Wiener-Hopf transfer-function method, and to
state-space methods which rely on Riccati equations. It is the aim of this
book to demonstrate the power and breadth of polynomial methods in control and
filtering. Although our coverage is broad, we do restrict our attention to
linear time-invariant systems - a brief discussion of the extension to
non-linear and time-varying systems, together with the appropriate references,
is given in the introductory chapter by Kucera.

Mathematical Control Theory: An Introduction
Jerzy Zabczyk, Polish Academy of Sciences
A Volume in the Series Systems and Control: Foundations and
Applications
>From the Back Cover:
Mathematical control theory is a separate branch of mathematics that, over a
span of 150 years, has developed an extensive literature covering its various
concepts, constructions and applications. Even for deterministic systems, the
theory and application now involve several areas of which only a few are
typically presented from a unified viewpoint. In particular, until now a
self-contained treatment of the following areas has been unavailable: the
basic theory of finite dimensional linear systems, of nonlinear systems,
optimal control and infinite dimensional linear systems. Mathematical Control
Theory: An Introduction presents, in a mathematically precise manner, a
unified introduction to deterministic control theory. Moreover, with the
exception of a few more advanced concepts required for the final part of the
book, this presentation requires only a knowledge of basic facts from linear
algebra, differential equations and calculus.
In addition to classical concepts and ideas, the book offers many recently
published results. In particular, the author includes the stabilization of
nonlinear systems using topological methods, realization theory for nonlinear
systems, impulsive control and positive systems, the control of rigid bodies,
the stabilization of infinite dimensional systems and the solution of minimum
energy problems. Some of these topics appear here for the fist time in book
form.

NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT
DETECTION OF ABRUPT CHANGES: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS
by Michele Basseville (IRISA/CNRS, Rennes, France)
and Igor Nikiforov (Institute of Control Sciences, Moscow, Russia)
Prentice Hall Information and System Science Series (T.Kailath, Editor)
ISBN 0-13-126780-9; 550 pages; April 1993
Many monitoring problems can be stated as the problem of detecting a change
in the parameters of a static or dynamic stochastic system. The main goal of
this book is to describe a unified framework for the design and the performance
analysis of the algorithms for solving these change detection problems. Also
the book contains the key mathematical background necessary for this purpose.
Finally links with the analytical redundancy approach to fault detection in
linear systems are established.
We call abrupt change any change in the parameters of the system that occurs
either instantaneously or at least very fast with respect to the sampling
period of the measurements. Abrupt changes by no means refer to changes with
large magnitude; on the contrary, in most applications the main problem is to
detect small changes. Moreover, in some applications, the early warning of
small - and not necessarily fast - changes is of crucial interest in order to
avoid the economic or even catastrophic consequences that can result from an
accumulation of such small changes. For example, small faults arising in the
sensors of a navigation system can result, through the underlying integration,
in serious errors in the estimated position of the plane. Another example is
the early warning of small deviations from the normal operating conditions of
an industrial process. The early detection of slight changes in the state of
the process allows to plan in a more adequate manner the periods during which
the process should be inspected and possibly repaired, and thus to reduce the
exploitation costs.

Dear Siep and Anton,
I wanted to meet your deadline but only had little time to look over
things. Also the last time that the eletter was sent out was so long
ago that I can't really remember when it was, let alone what precisely
happened to SCAD since.......
BTW are there precise dates by which you are planning to have the eletter
appear? If so could you please let me know then I can have the SCAD update
ready for you in future.
Attached is a SCAD update. I have gotten rid of the information about
how to all the access SCAD and put in a - possibly incorrect - sentence
about how to get the information from your automatic email handler.
Could you please complete this to make sure that is makes sense and is
ok with you.
In your information the IP number seems incorrect. There was a change
some time ago to 129.110.11.1 which could get changed back again to the old one,
but for the time being only this one seems to work.
Have fun with your new job!
All the best,
Raimund

SYCON REPORT 92-07: "State observability in recurrent neural networks"
by Francesca Albertini and Eduardo D. Sontag, December 1992. (8+i pp.)
ABSTRACT: We obtain a characterization of observability for a class of
(discrete-time) nonlinear systems which appear in neural networks research.
SYCON REPORT 92-08:
"Weight identifiability in discrete-time recurrent nets"
by Francesca Albertini and Eduardo D. Sontag, December 1992. (11+i pp.)
ABSTRACT: This paper shows that, from its complete input/output behavior, one
can in principle completely deduce the internal structure of a discrete-time
recurrent neural network. The results presented here provide an analog of the
continuous-time results given in a previous paper by the authors. However, the
mathematical details, as well as the assumptions that must be made on the
activation functions, are considerably different from those in the
continuous-time case.
