Neural networks PID autotuning with real-time adaptation

Despite the developments in more sophisticated controllers, still the Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) controller is by far the controller most widely used in industry automation.

Automatic parallelization of matricial algorithms

The introduction of parallel processing architectures allowed the real time impelemtation of more sophisticated control algorithms with tighter specifications in terms of sampling time. However, to take advantage of the processing power of these architectures the control engeneer, due to the lack of appropriate tools, must spend a considerable amount of time in the parallelizaton of the control algorithm.
