PhD course in computer-controlled systems based on Karl Johan Åström and Björn Wittenmark (2011): Computer-Controlled Systems, Dover Publications. (The previous editions of the book were published by Prentice Hall.) There will be eight lectures/seminars covering different aspects of how to use computers to control physical systems. The main emphasis is, however, on the discrete-time case. The course is open for all PhD students and gives 6 ECTS credits.
Planning meeting Wed September 18 at 9.30 in the Seminar room.
Lectures in the Seminar room of the department starting October 10, 8.15.
