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. </span></font><br><br><b style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Introduction</b><br><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal;">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. </span></font><br><br><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal;">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. </span></font><br><br><b style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
