Description: This book is a collection of contributions by eminent scientists written in honour of Professor Brian Anderson's 60th birthday. Brian Anderson is arguably one of the most prominent researchers in the world in the area of control. The contributors of this volume were selected by Brian Anderson. They all have outstanding international reputations. The book, therefore, makes a valuable statement about the current status of control engineering with particular reference to contemporary work that has a link to Anderson's research contributions.
