Research
in the Industrial Control Centre (ICC)
The ICC aims to maintain a balance of sound scientific theoretical
research projects and realistic engineering design studies. The
Centre has led the use of polynomial systems theory for applications
in control and signal processing, introducing the new pseudo state
modelling and design approach (Grimble). It has also taken major
steps to move the base of its research work from linear to the very
difficult nonlinear design problems. This activity was recognised
by the award of a Royal
Society Fellowship and has lead to a range of seminal papers
(Leithead and Leith).

Welcome
The Industrial Control Centre (ICC) is based with
the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering which was
awarded a Grade 5 in the Past Research Assessment Exercise. For over
a decade, the Industrial Control Centre at The University
of Strathclyde in Glasgow, has been at the forefront in the Development
and Implementation of advanced control systems.
The combination of a research Centre, a company and a Club makes the
Control Group one of the largest in industrial systems. |
Recent
and Futures Initiatives
The ICC now has a major programme of new initiatives in non-linear
systems theory and applications.
Planned
Industrial Applications
Automotive
application studies with Ford at Basildon and Bosch in Stuttgart
involving the use of embedded systems to implement estimation algorithms
