Hardware and software for real time process control

As the title suggests, the focus of this volume is on the hardware and software aspects of real time process control, rather than on control problems. The (mostly invited) papers may be divided into three themes: hardware, software, and integration. Providing extensive coverage of the state-of-the-art in real time computer control, the papers examine both recent developments and future trends in the field. The contributors are from universities, industry and government institutions, and the volume will be of interest to hi-tech research institutes in e.g. the nuclear, aerospace, chemical and electronics fields, and to those concerned with standardization issues.
