References and further reading N2 - This revised edition addresses recent developments in the field of control theory. It discusses how the rise of 'Hoo' and similar approaches has allowed a combination of practicality, rigour and user interaction to be brought to bear upon complex control problems. The book also covers the rise of AI techniques UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0631/2004353211-d.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0631/2004353211-t.html ER -
