Читать книгу Control Theory Applications for Dynamic Production Systems - Neil A. Duffie - Страница 11

I am grateful to many former graduate students and international research associates in my laboratory for the fruitful discussions and collaboration we have had on topics related to this book. I am particularly indebted to Professor Hans-Peter Wiendahl (1938–2019) for his inspiring encouragement of the research that culminated in this book, which is dedicated to him; he is greatly missed. Professor Katia Windt provided indispensable feedback regarding the contents of this book and its focus on production systems, and I owe much to collaborations with her and Professors Julia Arlinghaus, Michael Freitag, Gisela Lanza, and Bernd Scholz-Reiter. I thank the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the environment that made this book possible and, above all, I am deeply indebted to my wife Colleen for her companionship and her unwavering support of my research and the writing of this book.
