Modelling and Simulation for Applied Control Systems

Abstract

The convention began with an introductory talk by Prof J. H. Westcott of Imperial College, who highlighted the immense growth of emphasis towards control engineering. He described briefly a few of his own projects including a model of the national economy designed to yield a greater understanding of the major controllable variables influencing the behaviour of the system. Following this introduction, the Pro- Vice Chancellor of the University of Bath, Prof Austwick, welcomed the delegates and The Institute to the University.
