Control Applications of Nonlinear Programming and Optimization 1989: Proceedings of the 8th Ifac Workshop, Paris, France, 7-9 June, 1989

These Proceedings provide valuable information on the exchange of ideas between scientists who apply nonlinear programming and optimization to real world control problems and those who develop new methods, algorithms and software. The papers deal with windshear problems, optimization of aircraft and spacecraft trajectories, optimal control for robots, the optimization of urban traffic control, general mechanical systems, multilevel inventory systems and robust control.
