System Identification (SYSID 2000) A Proceedings Volume from the 12th IFAC Symposium on System Identification, Santa Barbara, California, USA, 21-23 June 2000

This Proceedings contains the papers presented at the IFAC Symposium on System Identification held in Santa Barbara, USA, on 21-23 June 2000. SYSID is IFAC's longest running symposium, and has rightly earned a reputation as the most authoritative conference in the field of system identification. The Proceedings of SYSID 2000 lives up to this reputation, and contains over 200 important papers devoted to leading edge research in all aspects of system identification. Theoretical aspects of identification are covered by papers on a huge range of topics including robust control, subspace methods, model error modelling, adaptive control, state and parameter estimation, and non-linear identification. There are also many papers with application to such areas as biological systems, environmental systems, process control, and automotive control. A number of software demonstrations is also presented, with direct application to system identification problems.
