Biography

S. G. Tzafestas

". . .each chosen subject is treated in sufficient depth, so that a reader interested in the respective part of the control domain will receive enough information to be able to understand the role that topic can play in [present-day] control systems. . .. . . .can be used by researchers that are concerned with new topics of control; they can find good starting points, basic principles of several new methods, references to more specific texts, ideas about the open problems."
