The main aim of this symposium was to bring together end-users and control system specialists to evaluate the possibilities for improvement of techniques, design procedures, components and instruments to encourage low cost automation; considering not only economic aspects but also improvements in productivity, reliability, flexibility and ease-of-application. Special emphasis was placed on small and medium sized enterprises. The technical sessions dealt with topics from process automation as well as from manufacturing automation.

Computer Aided Systems Theory (CAST) deals with the task of contributing to the creation and implementation of tools for the support of usual CAD tools for design and simulation by formal mathematical or logical means in modeling. Naturally, thebasisfortheconstructionandimplementationofCASTsoftwareis provided by the existing current knowledge in modeling and by the experience of practitioners in engineering design. Systems Theory, as seen from the viewpoint of CAST research and CAST tool development, has the role of providing formal frameworks and related theoretical knowledge for model-construction and model analysis. We purposely do not distinguish sharply between systems theory and CAST and other similar ?elds of research and tool development such as for example in applied numerical analysis or other computational sciences. TheheredocumentedEUROCASTconferencewhichtookplaceattheVienna University of Technology re?ects current mainstreams in CAST. As in the p- vious conferences new topics, both theoretical and application oriented, have been addressed. The presented papers show that the ?eld is widespread and that new - velopments in computer science and in information technology are the driving forces.

Industrial robots as a kind of a mechatronic system were the objects for intensive scientific research in the last years. Kinematics and kinetics, advanced control algorithms, flexible robots, mobile robots, cooperation of robots were research topics. Meanwhile the industrial robot is more or less a tool on the shop floor level like NC- and CNC-machines, transportation and storage devices. The current research landscape on industrial robots can be divided in two directions. The first direction is the scientific one and topics like fuzzy control, applications of neuronal networks, application of methods of artificial intelligence for robot control, optimal path planning are currently headlines in this field. On the other hand the application oriented research goes in the direction to develop and create new low-cost concepts including industrial robots applicable in a commercially efficient way mainly in small and medium sized companies. The industry in most of the member countries of the Alpe-Adria Group are dominated by small and medium sized companies. Industrial robots together with the appropriate CIM-concepts are a very efficient tool for increasing the flexibility of such companies. At the first meeting in Portoroz (June 1992), a first overview on robotics research and applications in Alpe-Adria countries was given. First steps were done in the direction of a broader cooperation in science, development, production and level of education among these countries.

Der Einsatz elektronischer Datenverarbeitung in Krankenanstalten erfahrt in den letzten Jahren eine sturmische Entwicklung. War ursprunglich nur daran gedacht, mit Hilfe der Datenverarbeitung administrative Tatigkeiten zu vereinfachen, so wird nun bereits ein integriertes Krankenhausinformationssystem angestrebt. Daten sollen moeglichst am Ort ihrer Entstehung erfasst werden und die Weiterleitung dieser Daten an alle Stationen, Abteilungen und Leistungsstellen, die diese Daten benoetigen, sowie eine patientengerechte Auswertung dieser Daten sollen garantiert werden. Die Wissenschaftliche Landesakademie fur Niederoesterreich beschaftigt sich in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Zentrum fur medizinische Aus-, Fort- und Weiterbildung mit dieser Thematik. Die Beitrage dieses Buches beleuchten die wissenschaftlichen Aspekte eines solchen Krankenhausinformationssystems, informieren uber die angebotenen Systeme, geben Beispiele, wie Daten zu verwalten sind, und berichten uber Anforderungskriterien von Anwenderseite.

Das dynamische Verhalten zahlreicher industrieller Prozesse andert sich prozeB- bedingt oder ungewollt mit der Zeit. Eine zufriedenstellende Regelung solcher Prozesse setzt moglichst genaue Kenntnisse ihres dynamischen Verhaltens voraus. Ihre mathematischen Modelle sollten moglichst genau bekannt sein. Die mathe- matischen Modelle konnen in vielen Fallen nur experimentell gefunden werden, da eine rechnerische Modellerstellung meist zu aufwendig oder sogar unmoglich ist. Bisher wurde noch nie versucht, den Problemkreis der Identifikation von Regel- systemen mit veranderlichen Parametern, sogenannter zeitvarianter Systeme, ge- schlossen darzustellen. Daher erfolgt zunachst eine Zusammenstellung notwendiger Grundlagen aus der Theorie zeitvarianter Systeme. Besondere Beachtung finden zeitvariante Systeme mit zufalligen Parameteranderungen und/oder zufalligen Eingangssignalen (zeitvariante stochastische Systeme). Probleme der Identiftkation zeitvarianter Systeme werden aufgezeigt und ausgewahlte Arbeiten in libersicht- licher Form Zllsammengestellt. Das vorliegende Buch kann und will infolge des umfangreichen Fachgebietes keinen Anspruch auf Vollstandigkeit erheben. Es soIl sowohl den praktisch tiitigen als auch den theoretisch interessierten Leser mit diesem Problemkreis vertraut machen. Flir die fachlichen Ratschlage im Zuge des Entstehens dieser Arbeit danke ich Herrn Prof. Dr. K.H. Fasol. Die numerischen Berechnungen in Abschnitt 1.2.1.3 wurden von M. Oswatitsch ausgeftihrt. Meiner Frau danke ich fur das Lesen der Korrekturen und Frau E. Eder fur die sorgfaltige Anfertigung der Reinschrift. Herm A.

Social Stability: The Challenge of Technology Development (Paperback): Peter Kopacek Social Stability: The Challenge of Technology Development (Paperback)

R2,250 Discovery Miles 22 500 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This Proceedings contains the papers presented at the eighth in IFAC's conference series on Supplementary Ways for Improving International Stability. This conference, entitled ""Social Stability: The Challenge of Technology Development,"" was held in Vienna, Austria, on 27-29 September 2001.


The papers included in this Proceedings volume cover a very broad field of interest, and include topics such as social aspects of technology transfer, managing the introduction of technological change, ethical aspects, technology and environmental stability and anticipating secondary and tertiary effects of technological development.


Technological development has caused profound changes to social stability. Regions that had stable populations for centuries have experienced enormous population growth, leading to the formation of sometimes unmanageable megaplex cities, as well as bringing about macroscopic environmental change. The papers in this Proceedings offer insights into ways to mitigate the unwanted side-effects of rapid development, and methodologies for appropriate ways of managing the introduction of technologies which will alter social stability.


This conference was dedicated to Professor Harold Chestnut, the first president of IFAC, who died in August 2001. Professor Chestnut was among the pioneers of social stability ideas within IFAC and formed the technical committee which organises this conference series.

Over recent years, a number of people actively involved in engineering, but also in other fields, have worked on the topic of international stability. Workshops have been held in various places and organized by different people and institutions.

This conference, the sixth event in the SWIIS series, continued the tradition set in the earlier five SWIIS meetings. The goal was the beneficial application of systems engineering methods onto description of conditions, in which nations or groups interact with one another. Scientists from other fields such as political science, economics, social science, and international studies also had a platform to present and discuss their ideas.

In the technical program of this conference, 2 survey papers and 19 regular papers - grouped into 8 sessions - were presented. Papers were given in the following areas: Methodological analysis; Investigation of development: stability, sustainable development; Modelling of stability; Application of control principles to international stability; International policy co-operation; Cultural and educational aspects in international stability; East/West/North/South relationships; Global development - regional impact; and Negotiation and mediation in conflict.
