Tomas Bata University in Zlín
Faculty of Applied Informatics

E-mail: vasek@fai.utb.cz

Aim
In system, control, or process engineering, devices like PLC, IPC, microcontroller kits
or intelligent computer boards with advanced operating systems constitute an integral
part of manufacturing and industrial processes. Advances in theory of informatics have
not been fully implemented in process control design until recently. However, many
complex technological processes such as nonlinear, delayed, non-minimum phase ones,
multidimensional or hybrid ones are hardly controllable by conventional control methods.
Therefore, advanced modern control strategies have been investigated to deal with the
those problems. These methodologies, however, requires the utilization of elements of
optimization or artificial intelligence. From this perspective, both, theoretical and
application, contributions combining the informatics and system (control) issues are
useful and desirable and highly welcome for the special session.

circuits are indispensible e.g. continuous time filters, amplifiers, precision
rectifiers, analog-to-digital (A/D) converters, digital-to-analog (D/A) converters and
certain classes of communication circuits and artificial neural networks. In view of the
above, research on analog circuit design has continued to remain prominent although, the
design considerations and focus have changed from time to time alongside the changes in
integrated circuit (IC) technology. There are several modern active elements such as
current conveyors (CC), current feedback operational amplifiers (CFOA), operational
transresistance amplifiers (OTRA), current differencing buffered amplifiers (CDBA),
current differencing transconductance amplifiers (CDTA), four-terminal floating nullor
(FTFN), voltage differencing transconductance amplifiers (VDTA) [18], current follower
transconductance amplifiers (CFTA), current backward transconductance amplifiers have

focusing mainly on exploring the application of existing circuits and also discovering
alternative new active elements .Therefore, this session is mainly aimed to cover the
recent innovations, trends, practical challenges and possible solutions in the field of
modern active elements, analog integrated circuits, COMS/BJT implementations of active
elements and applications of these elements in analog signal generation/signal processing.

The aim of this session is optimization methods and techniques developing using
computers, on various case studies. Optimization with of nonlinear problem solving was
studied. Minimization of a nonlinear objective function subject to linear or nonlinear
constraints were examined. In any problem, constraints should be identified either as
being inequality constraints or equality constraints. Inequality constraints in problem
are frequently transformed into equality constraints, so that need focus first on
problems involving only equality constraints. Lagrange multiplier optimization method was
developed.
