Ifac'96 - 13th World Congress Proceedings on Cd-Rom Proceedings of the Triennial Ifac World Congress 1996

Since the first Congress was held in Moscow in 1960, the IFAC World Congresses have come to be recognized as the pre-eminent event for the worldwide community of researchers and practitioners of control systems science and engineering. This publication represents a major new development in the publishing of the proceedings as it is the first time it has been published on CD-ROM. CD-ROM users will benefit from: - Comprehensive access to all 18 tracks/volumes - Search functions by author, affiliation, keyword or paper number - Convenience of access at your desk - A help desk facility - A saving of storage space - A lower price than the printed version Over 2000 papers were submitted, of which around 1400 have been selected for presentation. Pressure on time during the congress has been extreme and even with 17 parallel sessions it has not been possible to accommodate all papers offered. The organizers have taken great care to arrange the papers into different tracks, each consisting of a number of sessions, so as to minimize the overlap of subjects and authors. The Proceedings of the 13th World Congress on CD-ROM will contain the entire technical material from the congress and be structured in the same way as the conference sessions with 17 tracks/volumes of roughly equal size plus a plenary track/volume.Gertler, J.
