This Proceedings contains the papers presented at the IFAC Symposium on System Identification held in Santa Barbara, USA, on 21-23 June 2000. SYSID is IFAC's longest running symposium, and has rightly earned a reputation as the most authoritative conference in the field of system identification. The Proceedings of SYSID 2000 lives up to this reputation, and contains over 200 important papers devoted to leading edge research in all aspects of system identification. Theoretical aspects of identification are covered by papers on a huge range of topics including robust control, subspace methods, model error modelling, adaptive control, state and parameter estimation, and non-linear identification. There are also many papers with application to such areas as biological systems, environmental systems, process control, and automotive control. A number of software demonstrations is also presented, with direct application to system identification problems.

Residential Care Transformed: Revisiting 'The Last Refuge'

This book, now in paperback, revisits Peter Townsend's classic study of residential care for older people in Britain conducted in the late 1950s. It provides not only a fascinating account of residential care for older people over the last 50 years but is also an important contribution to the literature on research methods.

This book deals with the design and integration of chemical processes, emphasizing the conceptual issues that are fundamental to the creation of the process. Chemical process design requires the selection of a series of processing steps and their integration to form a complete manufacturing system. The text emphasizes both the design and selection of the steps as individual operations and their integration. Also, the process will normally operate as part of an integrated manufacturing site consisting of a number of processes serviced by a common utility system. The design of utility systems has been dealt with in the text so that the interactions between processes and the utility system and interactions between different processes through the utility system can be exploited to maximize the performance of the site as a whole. Chemical processing should form part of a sustainable industrial activity. For chemical processing, this means that processes should use raw materials as efficiently as is economic and practicable, both to prevent the production of waste that can be environmentally harmful and to preserve the reserves of raw materials as much as possible. Processes should use as little energy as economic and practicable, both to prevent the build-up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels and to preserve reserves of fossil fuels. Water must also be consumed in sustainable quantities that do not cause deterioration in the quality of the water source and the long-term quantity of the reserves. Aqueous and atmospheric emissions must not be environmentally harmful, and solid waste to landfill must be avoided. Finally, all aspects of chemical processing must feature good health and safety practice. It is important for the designer to understand the limitations of the methods used in chemical process design. The best way to understand the limitations is to understand the derivations of the equations used and the assumptions on which the equations are based. Where practical, the derivation of the design equations has been included in the text. The book is intended to provide a practical guide to chemical process design and integration for undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemical engineering, practicing process designers and chemical engineers and applied chemists working in process development. Examples have been included throughout the text. Most of these examples do not require specialist software and can be performed on spreadsheet software. Finally, a number of exercises have been added at the end of each chapter to allow the reader to practice the calculation procedures.

SMITH ELECTRONICS CIRCUITS AND DEVICES: Circuits and Devices

This edition presents a modern introduction to electronics. It has been revised to include increased coverage of FETS, Clampers, doping effects, OP amps, CMOS devices and AC circuits, as well as analog electronics. The text integrates circuits and semiconductors, logic elements, digital devices and the microprocessor. It takes beginning students to the point where they can make effective use of modern ICs in the design of simple digital and analog systems.
