For release in the Advances in Computational Intelligence and Robotics (ACIR) Book Series

The Advances in Computational Intelligence and Robotics (ACIR) Book Series encourages scholarly discourse on all topics pertaining to evolutionary computing, artificial life, computational intelligence, machine learning, and robotics. ACIR presents the latest research being conducted on diverse topics in intelligence technologies with the goal of advancing knowledge and applications in this rapidly evolving field. 

Introduction
Control and automation in its broadest sense plays a fundamental role in process industries. Control engineering is concerned with the understanding and control of machines, processes, and industrial automation systems to provide useful economic products for society, and is based on foundations of feedback theory and linear systems analysis. The subject is multidisciplinary in nature since it deals with dynamic systems drawn from the disciplines of electrical, electronics, chemical, mechanical, aerospace, and instrumentation engineering. 

This text presents a comprehensive analysis and design of various types of control systems, such as intelligent control. The prerequisite for the reader is some elementary knowledge of differential equations, vector-matrix analysis, and mechanics. 

Objective of the Book
This book is intended to be a major reference for scientists and engineers interested in applying new computational and mathematical tools for solving the complicated problems of mathematical modelling, simulation, and control. The book can also be used at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level and as a textbook or major reference for courses like mathematical modelling, numerical simulation, non-linear control of dynamical systems, applied artificial intelligence, and many others.
