Abstract: The paper presents the evolution of control systems and
trends in the field of integrated computer, communication and cognitive
sciences for control applications. There are selected and presented the most
efficient control strategies used in complex process control, as well as the
limitations of model-based approaches in cases implying complex, non-linear
and uncertain process models. In this context are presented some trends in
robust identification and design of adaptive control systems with high level
of robustness.
There are analyzed the concepts for autonomous control of complex systems by
integrating intelligent methodologies. Some aspects of hybrid intelligent
control are considered and are also presented some new directions of research
towards creating a new generation of control systems. The paper includes also
a presentation of the evolution of computer controlled applications and a new
paradigm – C4 – is analyzed from concept to application. Therefore, it is
illustrated the transition from C2 to C4 paradigm in the context of
integrating computers, communication and cognition in control. Finally, there
are presented advanced control techniques for manufacturing, including
intelligent agents, leading to large Intelligent Manufacturing Systems. Some
trends in control of complex systems are presented, including multi-agent
technology and hybrid systems formalism.
