A modern mechanical structure must work at high speed and with high
precision in space and time, in cooperation with other machines and
systems. All this requires accurate dynamic modelling, for
instance, recognizing Coriolis and centrifugal forces, strong
coupling effects, flexibility of links, large angles articulation.
This leads to a motion equation which must be highly nonlinear to
describe the reality. r1oreover, work on the manufacturing floor
requires coordination between nachines, between each machine and a
conveyor, and demands robustness of the controllers against
uncertainty in payload, gravity, external perturbations etc. This
requires adaptive controllers and system coordination, and perhaps
a self organizing structure. The machines become complex, strongly
nonlinear and strongly coupled mechanical systems with many degrees
of freedom, controlled by sophisticated mathematical programs. The
design of such systems needs basic research in Control and System
Dynamics, as well as in Decision Making Theory (Dynamic Games), not
only in the use of these disciplines, but in their adjustment to
the present demand. This in turn generates the need to prepare
engineering students for the job by the teaching of more sophisti
cated techniques in control and Mechanics than those contained in
previous curricula. On the other hand, all that was mentioned above
regarding the design of machines applies equally well to other
presently designed and used mechan ical structures or systems."

This vol ume contains the proceedings of the second U. S. -Austral
ia workshop on Renewable Resource Management held at the East-West
Center, Honolulu, Hawaii, December 9-12, 1985. The workshop was
jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation (USA) and the
Department of Science and Technology (Austral ia) under the U. S.
-Austral ia Cooperative Science Program. The objective of the
workshop was to focus on problems associated with the management of
renewable resource systems. A particular emphasis was given to
methods for handling uncertain elements whieh are present in any
real system. Toward this end, the partiei pants were chosen so that
the collective expertise included mathematical modeling, dynamical
control/game theory, ecology, and practical management of real
systems. Each participant was invited to give an informal
presentation in his field of expertise as related to the overall
theme. The formal papers (contained in this vo 1 ume) were written
after the workshop so that the authors coul d util ize the workshop
experience in relating their own work to others. To further
encourage this exchange, each paper contained in this volume was
reviewed by two other participants who then wrote formal comments.
These comments (with author's reply in some cases) are attached to
the end of each paper.
