Sommario/riassunto

This book emphasises the systemic character of Aristotle's philosophy by examining questions on metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy and mind and ethics. His reliance on dialectic as the method of philosophy appears to conflict with the metaphysical realist view of his conclusions.

Classic closed loop control from Heron till now:- Basics of the closed loop management -- Engineering of closed loops -- Mathematical Backgrounds.

Sommario/riassunto

The block diagrams as engineering means for closed loop control, which have been established by classic control theory for decades, are replaced in the above mentioned book by networks, the signals are replaced by data. It corresponds to the „Industry 4.0“ and to the structure of today’s automatic control systems. Thereby a classic closed loop is treated not isolated from other elements of nowadays automation like bus communication and process logical control, and is completed in proposed book with new control elements, so called data stream managers (DSM). The proposed book treats the control theory systematically like it is done in classical books considering the new



concept of data management. The theory is accompanied in the book with examples, exercises with solutions and MATLAB®-simulations. About the Author: Dr. Serge Zacher is retired university professor of automation and author of many patents, papers and books, including „Regelungstechnik für Ingenieure“ (with M. Reuter), which counts to standard works for German universities of applied sciences. His further books in the Springer-Vieweg are „Automatisierungstechnik kompakt“, „Übungsbuch Regelungstechnik“, „Drei-Bode-Plots-Verfahren“ and “Regelungstechnik mit Data Stream Management”. He is actually a lecturer of automation at the universities of applied sciences Darmstadt and Stuttgart.
