The focus is on technical principles, application-specific areas, technologies, Internet programming, and the outlook for the future--trends and challenges, and processing data in complex communication systems. Containing 68 contributed chapters, it is about twice as big as the other volumes. The complete Handbook offers up-to-date coverage of complex field, following closely current research trends and applications that appear in the widely respected journal IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics. The scope is broad, from electronic circuits and their uses in final products to the larger issues of control and mechatronics, from control of simple devices to control of entire fabrication processes, including the various elements of communications systems that must be tailor-made to link industrial processes using intelligent systems.
