During the past decade there has been major interest in investigating the development of intelligent Control Systems. There are two coordinates of thoughts that differentiate today's automation in practice from intelligent control systems in the research stage: heuristic versus mechanical; and numerical versus symbolic coordinates. Intelligent control systems (ICS) perform operations in more than one quadrant of this coordinate system. ICS should be capable of dealing with systems with no large body of explicit systematic knowledge, and no powerful general algorithms for use in problem solving. The ICS is a control system which reasons about dynamic environments, adaptively and predictively, according to dynamic goals and objectives; predicts advantageous futures; and makes decisions at both macro and micro levels of system operations. The ICS is a distributed problem solving approach that deals with uncertain and qualitatively expressed variables. Therefore, such tools as Artificial Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logics may have great potentials in the development of the intelligent control systems. This book presents an overview of the latest research studies in the ICS. It is a collection of papers presented at the two sessions of the 1989 ASME Winter Annual Meeting devoted to the intelligent control systems. These papers are divided into two groups: the first group investigates control aspects of the ICS; and the second group illustrates modeling and data analysis required for the ICS.
