The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. New theory, new controllers, actuators, sensors, new industrial processes, computer methods, new applications, new philosophies..., new challenges. Much of this development work resides in industrial reports, feasibility study papers and the reports of advanced collaborative projects. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of such new work in all aspects of industrial control for wider and rapid dissemination. 

This Advances in Industrial Control monograph, Control and Monitoring of Chemical Batch Reactors, by Fabrizio Caccavale, Mario Iamarino, Francesco Pierri and Vincenzo Tufano exemplifies this universality extremely well. The domain of application, the chemical batch reactor, is part of chemical and process engineering the process objectives are safe process operation, minimal energy consumption, and... 

This monograph will appeal to a wide readership. Industrial chemical and process engineers wishing to understand the application of modern control system ideas and the potential of nonlinear control more comprehensively will find much to study. The research community of control academics and postgraduate students will appreciate the interaction between the science of control engineering and the demanding control problems of batch reactors. They should find the application of the techniques to the case study a source of inspiration for future research. The monograph is a valuable addition to the Advances in Industrial Control series.
