The IFAC International Workshop on Automation in the Steel Industry: Current Practice and Future Development (ASI'97) was held in Kyongju, Korea from 16th to 18th July 1997, with the Steel Processing Automation Research Center (SPARC) serving as the official host. The objective of the workshop was to bring together engineers and scientists with expertise in applying modern control theories and techniques to industrial problems, particularly those involved in the steel industry. These proceedings present papers covering various processes in the steel industry, such as cold rolling, hot stripping, continuous casting, sintering, tube making and welding. New technologies with a strong potential for application to the steel industry, such as fuzzy control, AI techniques, neural networks, robust control, predictive control, and instrumentation and measurement are also covered.

"For professionals, students, and academics interested in applying neural networks to a variety of business applications, this reference book introduces the three most common neural network models and how they work. A wide range of business applications and a series of global case studies are presented to illustrate the neural network models provided. Each model or technique is discussed in detail and used to solve a business problem such as managing direct marketing, calculating foreign exchange rates, and improving cash flow forecasting."

The IFAC Conference on Control of Industrial Systems (CIS'97) was organized by the Ecole Nationale d'Ingénieurs. It was devoted to 'Control for the Future of the Youth' and linked the control science with the control engineering in the framework of industrial systems control. The wide diversity of topics, high quality, theoretical impact and applications of contributed results acknowledged the following: . Control, which is mainly automatic today, is the brain of every industrial system . Industrial systems automatic control necessitates a permanent interaction between systems and control science, and control engineering . Automatics is a self-contained and complete scientific and engineering discipline on automatic control, and as such, it has been interacting with almost all other scientific, engineering and social areas . Automatic control implies new job forms and qualifications, thus representing the area of the widely growing research and professional possibilities for pacific contributions to the well-being of humanity . Automatics is one of the most perspective disciplines open to young engineers and scientists.

Paperback. Rapid development observed in modern production is firmly connected with the development of new assembly and disassembly systems. In small batch production, where fast changes of products and short development times of new products are demanded, development of reliable, fast-adaptable and self-teaching assembly systems can be observed. Important fields of product development such as product design, development of planning systems, simulation and modelling, logistics, mechatronics and sensors, development of new assembly system components as well as collecting and processing of knowledge are essential for the development of new intelligent assembly systems (IAS). The aim of this colloquium specialised on IAD is to highlight this topic, show the actual results of the research and development work, set the direction of future development and analyse the possibilities of introducing of IAD into the production process.Papers, presented at the w
