Foreword
Over the past decades it was highly interesting, extensive activity to watch and interact with the
global scientific/engineering development of the 'new field' of System Identification/Parameter
and State Estimation/Model Predictive Control Along that road a clear landmark was the First
IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control) Symposium on this topic in Prague,
Czechoslovakia, organized in 1967 by Professor Strejc and his coworkers under difficult circum•
stances. Since that time thousands of papers have been published and talks presented...
Over the past decades it was also a highly interesting, extensive activity to watch and interact
with the scientific/engineering development of Dr. Yucai Zhu, the author of this book, and his
talents... Much knowledge, insight and experience was derived, digested and applied in this
process!
Among the problems to be solved were: the choice of the types of models that were both useful
for application at hand as well as numerically tractable; the perennial struggle with a limited
amount of information available; the strict limitations of additional disturbances allowed in
industrial plants, hence the need for an optimal test signal design. Dr. Zhu has played an
outstanding role by recognizing and focusing on the real needs in industrial environments.
This advancement has interacted with the developing of the capabilities of puters, the
efficiency of algorithms and the evolution of program packages. With his previous book, Zhu
and Backx (1993), Dr. Zhu has testified already that he plex material in a clear
and well-balanced way. Apart from the simulations and industrial examples with Matlab(R),
presented in this book, it is my advice to the reader to pay serious attention to t
