Command-control for Real-time Systems (PDF)

A real-time system is a complex system which is an integral part
of an industrial or experimental system, a vehicle or a
construction machine. The peculiarity of these systems is that they
are driven by real-time targets in distributed environments.

Command-control for Real-time Systems presents the calculation of
correction for industrial systems of different physical natures,
their implementation on real-time target industrial systems
(PLC-SCADA, embedded systems with distributed networks, Networked
Control Systems) and their validation by simulation. It optimizes
industrial processes by the use of automatic tools, industrial
computing and communications networks and aims to successively
integrate new control laws (linear, nonlinear and fuzzy
controllers) so that users can leverage the power of engineering
science as an automatic service process optimization while
maintaining their high maintainability facilities.

About the Authors

Mohamed Chadli is a senior lecturer and research supervisor at
the University of Picardie Jules Verne (UPJV) in France. His main
research interests lie in robust control, the diagnosis and fault
tolerant control of polytopic systems and applications for
automobiles. He is a senior member of the IEEE, and Vice President
of the AAI Club as part of SEE-France. He is the author/co-author
of 3 books, book chapters and more than 100 articles published in
international journals and conferences.

Hervé Coppier is a lecturing researcher at ESIEE-Amiens in
France. He has collaborated with industrialists in the field of
automation and industrial computing, particularly with CERN, and
has spearheaded various international European projects.
