Review Hard Disk Drive Servo Systems (Advances in Industrial Control) / Springer:The second edition of this monograph provides a systematic treatment of the design of modern hard disk drive servo systems updated with the latest research results to reflect recent improvements in spindle speed and bit density and other changes in this fast-moving field. In particular, it focuses on the applications of some newly developed results in control theory, i. e. , robust and perfect tracking control and composite non-linear feedback control which are suitable for track following and seeking respectively. Emphasis is placed on hard disk drive servo systems with single- or dual-stage actuation using a voice-coil-motor actuator enhanced in the latter case by the addition of a micro-actuator providing faster responses and therefore higher bandwidth in track following. Other issues such as modeling and compensation of nonlinearities and friction in microdrives, disturbance rejection and resonance compensation are also addressed. The techniques and applications involved include: time- and frequency domain methods for system identification; physical effect approaches for parameter identification; linear systems tools; linear control techniques (PID, H2, H-infinity, and other robust control methods); classical nonlinear control techniques (time-optimal, proximate time-optimal, and mode switching control); composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) control; complete single- and dual-stage hard disk drive servo systems; time- and frequency domain properties of hard disk drive servo systems; design of piezoelectric actuator systems; modeling and compensation of nonlinearities and friction in microdrives. Hard Disk Drive Servo Systems will be of great value to practicing engineers in the hard disk and CD-ROM drive industries and to researchers in areas related to servo systems. The Linear Systems and CNF MATLAB® toolkits used to develop many of the results in this book can be downloaded from Professor Chen’s website.

Review Measurement, Control, and Communication Using IEEE 1588 (Advances in Industrial Control) / Springer:A common sense of time among all the elements of a distributed measurement and control system allows the use of new techniques for the solution of problems with complex synchronization requirements or arising from the interaction of many sensors and actuators. Such a common sense of time may be accomplished using IEEE Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems (IEEE 1588-2002) to synchronize real-time clocks incorporated within each component of the system. IEEE 1588, published in November 2002, is a technology new to the engineering community expanding the performance capabilities of Ethernet networks so that they become relevant for measurement and control; this monograph embodies the first unified treatment of the associated technology, standards and applications. Readers unfamiliar with IEEE 1588 will gain understanding of the context of the technology it represents and, from three chapters of case studies, its role in a variety of application settings. To engineers implementing synchronization within their systems Measurement, Control, and Communication Using IEEE 1588 provides detailed discussion of the complex features of the standard. Together with the essential material on best practice and critical implementation issues, these provide invaluable assistance in the design of new applications.

Review Fuzzy Logic in Data Modeling : Semantics, Constraints, and Database Design (The Kluwer International Series on Advances in Database Systems) / Springer:Fuzzy Logic in Data Modeling: Semantics, Constraints and Database Design addresses fundamental and important issues of fuzzy data modeling, such as fuzzy data representation, fuzzy integrity constraints, fuzzy conceptual modeling, and fuzzy database design. The purpose of introducing fuzzy logic in data modeling is to enhance the classical models such that uncertain and imprecise information can be represented and manipulated. Fuzzy data representation reflects how, where and to what extent fuzziness is incorporated into classical models. Fuzzy integrity constraints are a sort of fuzziness-involved business rules and semantic restrictions that need to be specified and enforced. Fuzzy conceptual modeling describes and treats high-level data concepts and related semantics in a fuzzy context, allowing the model to tolerate imprecision at different degrees. Fuzzy database design provides guidelines for how relation schemes of fuzzy databases should be formed and develops remedies to possible problems of data redundancy and update anomalies. Fuzzy Logic in Data Modeling: Semantics, Constraints and Database Design is intended to be used as a text for a graduate-level course on fuzzy databases, or as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.

Review Noisy Information and Computational Complexity / Cambridge University Press:This book deals with the computational complexity of mathematical problems for which available information is partial, noisy and priced. The author develops a general theory of computational complexity of continuous problems with noisy information and gives a number of applications; he considers deterministic as well as stochastic noise. He also presents optimal algorithms, optimal information, and complexity bounds in different settings: worst case, average case, mixed worst-average, average-worst, and asymptotic. Particular topics include: the existence of optimal linear (affine) algorithms, optimality properties of smoothing spline, regularization and least squares algorithms (with the optimal choice of the smoothing and regularization parameters), adaption versus nonadaption, and relations between different settings. The book integrates the work of researchers over the past decade in such areas as computational complexity, approximation theory, and statistics, and includes many new results as well. The author supplies two hundred exercises to increase the reader's understanding of the subject.
