Reihe: Advances in Industrial Control

The Internet plays a significant and growing role in real-time industrial manufacturing, scheduling and management. A considerable research effort has led to the development of new technologies that make it possible to use the Internet for supervision and control of industrial processes.

addresses the challenges that need to be overcome before the Internet can be beneficially used not only for remote control and monitoring of industrial plants but also of domestic appliances and in medicine and education. New design issues such as requirement specification, architecture selection and user-interface design are dealt with. Irregular data transmission and data loss and, in extreme cases, whole-system instability may result from Internet time-delay; this book guards against such phenomena. Security breaches in an Internet-based control system could have very serious consequences and the author gives specific advice for avoiding them.

Practical perspectives are explored both through case studies in several chapters and through real applications including:

• virtual supervision parameter control of a water tank system;

• model predictive control for a process control unit

• remote integration of real-time software;

• robot arm control;

• simulator for a catalytic reactor; and

• monitoring and control of a home environment.

is a useful introduction and guide for researchers in control engineering and information technology and developers of real-time-Internet-enabling software. It can also be used for teaching a final year option or elective on Internet-enabled system design, or as an advanced example of real-time software design for graduates.

Über Autor(innen)

Shuang-Hua Yang is Professor of Networks and Control in the Department of Computer Science at Loughborough University, with experience of leading and working within TSB, EPSRC, Royal Society, Royal Academy of Engineering, British Council, MoD, and industry funded research projects. He is a networking and control specialist and the author of over 180 research papers, currently focusing on wireless sensor networks, RFID, wireless communication, remote monitoring and control research. His group researches aspects of networking and control and addresses specific issues related to wired/wireless networks and networked control, and application performance investigation. The work ranges from underlying mathematical theory to the practical creation and operation of wired/wireless intelligent networked systems. Professor Yang was one of the first investigators in the UK funded by EPSRC for carrying out research on networked control and has numerous publications in the area. Future work will be supported by a recently awarded military service related research contract.
