RESEARCH AND TEACHING POSITIONS
IN THE
SYSTEMS AND CONTROL GROUP
IN THE FACULTIES
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
AND
APPLIED PHYSICS
EINDHOVEN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY
5600 MB EINDHOVEN
THE NETHERLANDS
The Eindhoven University of Technology revived and enlarged the systems and
control group. Whilst the group was originally located in the Faculty for
Applied Physics, it is now defined as an interdisciplinary group with roots
in the Faculty of Chemical Technology, Mechanical Engineering and Applied
Physics. The group is strongly bound to the interdisciplinary institute
'Stevin Centrum', which also involves members of the Faculty of Mathematics.
Ties with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and other control groups
exist through the DISC (the Dutch Institute for Systems and Control).
The group will offer two to three positions, initially at the level of a
postdoctoral research and teaching assistant with the contingency for two
positions to convert into UD (roughly the equivalent to an assistant
professor) or UHD (equivalent to associate professor). Overall, the group is
expected to grow up to 25-30 people.
One, possibly two positions will be offered in Chemical
Engineering. Chemical Engineering is part of the Faculty of Chemical
Technology that houses classical chemistry, chemical engineering and a
number of specialised topics such as polymers and catalysis. Strong
backgrounds in dynamic systems, control theory and thermodynamics of
macroscopic systems are desired assets. The person will be involved in
generating new courses in Chemical Technology which will include modelling
of physical-chemical processes both on the introductory and the advanced
level and dynamic systems and control courses again both on the introductory
and the advanced level.
The other position is allocated to the Faculty of Applied Physics. Here a
solid background in modelling of dynamic systems and control theory is
required. A computer science and discrete-event dynamic systems background
is desirable. Again the person would be involved in teaching. Current plans
are to combine courses of the three involved faculties.
All people are expected to participate strongly in a joint research program
with a current emphasis on
o batch processes
o multivariable model predictive control
o discrete-event dynamic modelling and control
o computer-aided modelling
+ active vibration control
+ control of nonlinear systems
+ control of chaotic systems.
The areas marked with o are to be strengthened by additional personnel. The
areas marked with + are either not likely to be further extended or of
secondary priority.
Salaries are on the central European level and depend on experience and
position. Decision on promotion should be made within two years.
Eindhoven, a small city of approx. 300,000 inhabitants, is the home of
Philips
and DAF. Eindhoven is approximately on the same latitude as London in the
southern part of Holland, about 1 1/2 hours drive from Amsterdam, Rotterdam,
Brussels and Aachen.

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES AT THE
ARMY RESEARCH LABORATORY
Research opportunities described below are available on the
campus of the Army Research Laboratory at Aberdeen Proving
Ground, Maryland. We are interested in offering appointments
for one year to recent awardees of the PhD or to senior
research associates, typically faculty on sabbatical leave.
In the past, it has been possible to renew such appointments
for a second year.
Research Description
Research is needed in all aspects of digital communications to address
the timely, reliable, and secure electronic transmission of information
over battlefield computer networks. Such networks operate in an
environment of hostile and self-jamming; consist entirely of mobile
nodes; exhibit time-varying topologies; and possess links of
insufficient bandwidth to move expected volumes of traffic easily.
Noise and interference typically are non-Gaussian and often unknown in
any precise manner.
Research problems can address any relevant topic. Examples include:
coding and modulation for noisy channels;
joint source and channel coding for wireless channels;
multipath;
spread spectrum (CDMA).
adaptive network protocols;
network flow and congestion control;
adaptive routing algorithms for mobile nets;
communication and information theory;
The Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is the Army's premier scientific
research activity. ARL scientists enjoy access to many massively
parallel and high performance computers as well as state of the art
workstations on each desk. Facilities are available to obtain any
scholarly reference, and assistance with publication chores can be
provided.
Aberdeen Proving Ground is located near the mouth of the Susquehanna
River where it flows into the Chesapeake Bay, about 25 miles northeast
of Baltimore, Maryland. The area is rich in cultural events, and
opportunities abound for outdoor recreational activity.
For further information, please contact the undersigned. Preliminary
enquiries by electronic mail are encouraged.

A NEW BOOK (1995)
Title: INTELLIGENT CONTROL: FUZZY LOGIC APPLICATIONS
Author: Clarence W. de Silva, University of British Columbia,
Vancouver, Canada.

2000 Corporate Blvd., N.W.
Boca Raton, FL 33431-9868, U.S.A.
Tel: 800-272-7737 (Toll Free)
Fax: 800-374-3401 (Toll Free)
Catalog No.: 7982NKY; ISBN: 0-8493-7982-2
Outline:
This comprehensive new book provides an interesting combination
of research, teaching, and industrial applications in the field of
intelligent and fuzzy-logic control. The mathematical complexities are
minimized in the beginning of the text, but are subsequently integrated
for the benefit of advanced students and researchers without hampering
the book's readability for the novice.
Applications are emphasized throughout the book. Intelligent
Control is filled with worked examples, exercises, case studies,
problems, solutions or answers to problems, an index, and references
for further reading. Software for developing intelligent control
applications are discussed, giving practical applications.
The book which has about 350 pages contains ten chapters and
two appendices. Problems are given at the end of every chapter. The
traditional control techniques are introduced and contrasted with
intelligent control. Several methods of representing and processing
knowledge are presented, including fuzzy logic. Advantages of fuzzy
logic over other techniques are highlighted and limitations are
indicated. A hierarchical control structure appropriate for use in
intelligent control systems is described in detail. Several applications
are provided, with most falling into the areas of robotics and
mechatronics. Other applications such as air conditioning and process/
production control are also given.
No prior knowledge of the subject is needed, and much of the
book can be comprehended without an advanced knowledge in mathematics.
Intelligent Control is suitable for an undergraduate or introductory-
level graduate course on the subject, and is also a convenient reference
tool for practicing professionals.

Title : Adaptive Nonlinear Laguerre-Based Filtering
Author : Zoran Fejzo
University : Northeastern University, Boston
Thesis Advisor : Prof. H. Lev-Ari
Author's e-mail : zfejzo@aware.com
Publication : December 1994
Abstract:
In this thesis we have developed two adaptive non-linear estimation
approaches that use the Laguerre filter bank to possibly reduce the
structural index $M$ of the non-linear model. The first approach is related
to the Wiener-Laguerre model of non-linear systems. This approach offers an
attractive performance-complexity trade-off. In particular for a quadratic
non-linear model: (i) the Wiener-Laguerre-Transversal model with RLS
adaptation (WLT/RLS) has excellent steady state performance and fast initial
convergence at the cost of ~${\cal O}(M^{4}) $~ computations per time
iteration; (ii) WL-Lattice with order recursive adaptation exhibits excellent
convergence behavior and requires only ~${\cal O}(M^{2})$~ computations
however, it introduces a moderate steady state performance degradation; (iii)
WLL with the normalized LMS adaptation performs only ${\cal O}(M^{2}) $~
computations per time instant and has very good steady state performance but
with somewhat slower initial convergence. As a second approach we have
developed an alternative adaptive non-linear estimation technique which
reduces the computational requirements of WLT/RLS (to ~${\cal O}(M^{3})$~
calculations for quadratic model) with negligible performance degradation.
The proposed technique uses a filter-banks-based expansion for non-linear
systems and utilizes a modular multichannel Laguerre-lattice structure to
obtain an computationally efficient algorithm for the adaptation of model
parameters. The resulting structure consists of arrays of cells, each
performing scalar computations. As such this structure exhibits excellent
numerical behavior and a high level of regularity which makes it suitable for
the VLSI implementations.

>From the back cover of the 2nd edition:
Now your students can learn MATLAB 4.2, a remarkable time-saving tool
for anyone who studies or designs control systems. Through extensive
interactive examples and exercies that demonstrate MATLAB fundamentals
and its plotting capabilities, students quickly learn how to use the
software to perform calculations and generate graphs essential to
control system analysis. After mastering the basics, students discover
how to use the software and extend their understanding of control system
operation and design. Accompanying the book is an introduction to
SIMULINK, software that allows students to simulate signals, perform
transforms on those signals, and then measure them.
The manual follows the organization of Norman S. Nise's Control
System Engineering, Second Edition and is an ideal supplement to
the text. Leonard and Levine's book can also be used with other
control systems texts, or alone, as an independent guide to MATLAB
for students and professionals.

Announcing the
INDUSTRIAL MATHEMATICS MODELING WORKSHOP
FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS
August 7 - 16, 1995
Center for Research in Scientific Computation
North Carolina State University
Raleigh, North Carolina
FOREWORD
The Industrial Mathematics Modeling Workshop for Graduate Students,
which is the fourth in the series, will take place at the Center for
Research in Scientific Computation at North Carolina State University
in Raleigh, North Carolina, 7-16 August 1995. This workshop is being
held annually, the previous highly successful meetings was held at the
University of Minnesota in 1992 and at the Claremont Colleges in 1993
and 1994. A description of the 1993 Claremont workshop can be found in
SIAM NEWS, November, 1993 issue.
In line with the previous workshops the goals of this workshop are:
* to expose 30 graduate students in mathematics and
statistics to the challenging and exciting real-world
problems from industry and government laboratories;
* to introduce students to the team approach to problem
solving.
Funding for this workshop has been requested with the National Security
Agency and the Army Research Office. Additional support is anticipated
from the Center for Research in Scientific Computation.
FORMAT
In the workshop the students will be divided into six teams to work
on "industrial mathematics" problems brought on by experienced applied
mathematicians. These problems are challenging, real-world problems
from industry or applied science and require fresh, new insight for
their formulation and solution. The problem presenters, primarily
from industry and government laboratories, are being recruited and
their names will be announced subsequently.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Graduate students in mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics or
operations research can be nominated for this program by a faculty
member by sending a letter of recommendation. In addition, the
student is required to send in a copy of a recent transcript. THE
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION IS JUNE, 30. Students will be expected to
finance their travel. The workshop will cover local living expenses
for U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

Workshop on Verification and Control of Hybrid Systems
Sponsored by DIMACS and SYCON
October 22-25, 1995
New Brunswick, New Jersey
The fifth of a series of workshops on hybrid systems will be organized at
Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, from October 22 to October
25, 1995. The previous workshops of the series were organized in 1991 and
1994 in Ithaca, New York, in 1992 in Lyngby, Denmark, and in 1993 in Boston.
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers from both
computer science and control theory, and to advance the theory of hybrid
systems and its applications to real-life problems.
The 1995 workshop will be organized as a part of the DIMACS 1995-96 Special
Year on Logic and Algorithms. DIMACS is a Science and Technology Center
funded by the National Science Foundation, and the participating institutions
are Rutgers University, Princeton University, AT&T Bell Laboratories, and
Bellcore.
The co-sponsor of this workshop is SYCON, the Rutgers Center for Systems and
Control. SYCON is a Rutgers University Center dedicated to research in
control theory and closely associated topics.
The four-day workshop will combine invited presentations with accepted
submissions. Submissions are invited in all areas pertaining to the formal
verification and control of hybrid systems, that is, systems in which digital
devices interact with continuous objects. We are especially interested in
methods bringing together in creative ways concepts from computer science and
control theory. Topics include, but are not limited to, formal models and
specification languages, algorithmic and deductive verification, control and
optimization, simulation and testing, design and synthesis, complexity and
decidability issues, probabilistic systems, automatic and interactive tools,
experimental results and applications.
Authors are requested to submit an extended abstract not exceeding twelve
pages, either six hard copies or a postscript file to the address below.
The abstract should start with a title page containing the title of the
paper, each author's name and affiliation, the contact author's physical and
e-mail addresses, and a one- or two-paragraph summary. The full versions of
selected submissions will be published after the workshop as a volume of the
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
There will be no registration fee for the workshop.
Limited funds are available to cover the travel costs of students.

FINAL CALL
Neural Adaptive Control Technology Workshop: NACT I
18--19 May, 1995
University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK
The first of a series of three workshops on Neural Adaptive
Control Technology (NACT) will take place on May 18--19, 1995 in
Glasgow, Scotland. This event is being organised in connection
with a three-year European Union funded Basic Research Project in
the ESPRIT framework. The project is a collaboration between
Daimler-Benz Systems Technology Research, Berlin, Germany and the
Control Group, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of
Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland.
The project is a study of the fundamental properties of neural
network based adaptive control systems. Where possible, links
with traditional adaptive control systems will be exploited. A
major aim is to develop a systematic engineering procedure for
designing neural controllers for non-linear dynamic systems. The
techniques developed will be evaluated on concrete industrial
problems from within the Daimler-Benz group of companies:
Mercedes-Benz AG, Deutsche Aerospace (DASA), AEG and DEBIS. The
project leader is Dr. Ken Hunt (Daimler-Benz) and the other
principal investigator is Professor Peter Gawthrop (University of
Glasgow).
