Summary: NetworksinControlSystems
The state of the art inthearea of neural
networks in control systems is reflected in this
specialissue.Theneed to meetdemanding
control requirements in increasingly complex

uncertainties makes neural networks very at-
tractive,because of theirabilitytolearn.to

and because of theirpotentialformassively
parallel hardware implementation. Neural net-
works do appear to be ableto implement many
functionsessential to controlsystemswith
higher degreeof autonomy.
