ACM Portal to Computing Literature
Since 1947, the Association for Computing Machinery has provided a forum for the exchange of information, ideas, and discoveries. Its membership includes computing professionals and students in more than 100 countries in all areas of industry, academia, and government. The Portal to Computing Literature provides access to authoritative publications and pioneering conferences.
Comparison of Motion Control Loops for Industrial Applications
Technical Paper by George Ellis, Kollmorgen Corp & Robert D. Lorenz, University of Wisconsin-Madison; from www.PowerPulse.net, a source for worldwide strategic information covering the full spectrum of power electronics, including primary research, news services, and original, proprietary information.
Hybrid Control Loops, A/D Maps, and Dynamic Specifications
By J.M. Davoren, T. Moor & A. Nerode; presented at Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control (HSCC 2002), Stanford California USA, 25 - 27 March 2002.
This paper extends the framework of supervisory controller synthesis for hybrid systems to include more general dynamic specifications, and demonstrates how to employ known results to solve these synthesis problems.
Real-Time Computation and Communication Group
The Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems of the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE TC-RTS) addresses systems issues in real-time systems. It promotes and facilitates the exchange of research results and development in the areas of applications, databases, distributed and parallel systems, formal methods and timing analysis, networks, operating systems and middleware, programming languages, scheduling and resource management, security, and verification and validation of real-time systems.
SIAM Activity Group on Control and Systems Theory
The Activity Group fosters collaboration and interaction among mathematicians, engineers, and other scientists in areas of research related to the theory of systems and their control.
Stanford University:
Search for control+loops to find a wealth of resources.
Understanding and Tuning Control Loops (TC05)
From ISA, this course qualifies for the ISA Training Certificate Program. Three-day course covers the principles of automatic industrial control and the operation of the proportional, integral, and derivative control modes. Advanced concepts of cascade, ratio, and feedforward control are presented, as are methods of controller tuning.
