• Designing and Building Parallel Programs - Parallel Computers and Computation, Designing Parallel Algorithms, Compositional C++, High Performance Fortran, Performance Tools

• Tutorial on Fuzzy Logic - A logic based on the two truth values 0 - false and 1 - true is sometimes inadequate when describing human reasoning. Fuzzy logic uses the whole interval between 0 (false) and 1 (true) to describe human reasoning. As a result, fuzzy logic is being applied in rule based automatic controllers, and this paper is part of a course for control engineers.

• Tuning Of Fuzzy PID Controllers - Since fuzzy controllers are nonlinear, it is more difficult to set the controller gains compared to proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. This research paper proposes a design procedure and a tuning procedure that carries tuning rules from the PID domain over to fuzzy single-loop controllers.

• Introduction To Perceptron Networks - When it is time-consuming or expensive tomodel a plant using the basic laws of physics, a neural network approach can be an alternative. From a control engineer’s viewpoint a twolayer perceptron network is sufficient. It is indicated how to model a dynamic plant using a perceptron network.
  
  
• Design of Fuzzy Controllers - Design of a fuzzy controller requires more design decisions than usual, for example regarding rule base, inference engine, defuzzification, and data pre- and post processing. This tutorial paper identifies and describes the design choices related to single-loop fuzzy control, based on an international standard which is underway. The paper contains also a design approach, which uses a PID controller as a starting point. A design engineer can view the paper as an introduction to fuzzy controller design.

• Neurofuzzy Modelling - A neural network can approximate a function, but it is impossible to interpret the result in terms of natural language. The fusion of neural networks and fuzzy logic in neurofuzzy models provide learning as well as readability. Control engineers find this useful, because the models can be interpreted and supplemented by process operators.

• Fuzzy Supervisory Control - Control problems in the process industry are dominated by non-linear and time-varying behaviour, many inner loops, and much interaction between the control loops.

• Analysis of a Pendulum Problem - The ball-balancer, or cart-ball system, demonstrates some basic concepts in control being nonlinear, multivariable, and non-minimum phase. It is basically an inverted pendulum problem, which is a much used benchmark problem.

• Pendulum Problem - Matlab Files - Nice Animation - Download and Experiment

• The Self-Organising Fuzzy Controller - A marginally stable test system, with a large dead time and an integrator, is stabilised by a self-organising fuzzy controller in a simulation study. It acts as a case study, to explain the self-organising controller to engineering students. The paper is one of a series of tutorial papers for a course in fuzzy control.
