4. Applications

A number of applications have been carried out using the proposed methodology based on SIMART: a software package for advanced process control . The latter was designed both as a workstation for solving process control problems, and as an automatic learning base. As such, it can be used to carry out all the steps involved in synthesizing a control system, i.e. specifying the required performance from a set of specifications, identifying a control model compatible with the required performance, synthesizing a controller, analyzing the control system's performance and implementing the control system. The identification and control steps can be carried...
