	Intelligent Control
		Intelligent control describes the discipline where control methods are developed that attempt to emulate important characteristics of human intelligence.
		Today, the area of intelligent control tends to encompass everything that is not characterized as conventional control; it has, however, shifting boundaries and what is called "intelligent control" today, will probably be called "control" tomorrow.
		The main difficulty in specifying exactly what is meant by the term Intelligent control stems from the fact that there is no agreed upon definition of human intelligence and intelligent behavior and the centuries old debate of what constitutes intelligence is still continuing, nowadays among educators, psychologists, computer scientists and engineers.

	Intelligent Control
		The area of intelligent control is in fact interdisciplinary, and it attempts to combine and extend theories and methods from areas such as control, computer science and operations research to attain demanding control goals in complex systems.
		In intelligent control problems, which are most often complex and challenging, there may not be a clear separation of the plant and the controller; the control laws may be imbedded and be part of the system to be controlled.
		Control theory made significant strides in the past 120 years, with the use of frequency domain methods and Laplace transforms in the 1930s and 1940s and the development of optimal control methods and state space analysis in the 1950s and 1960s.

	Intelligent Systems Division
		Specific subsystems may be assigned to handle such tasks as recognizing obstacles and landmarks, mapping the environment for navigation, detecting and reacting to unexpected objects, locating objects for manipulation, comparing scenes for security and surveillance, and planing paths.
		Industry roadmaps call for a variety of intelligent control capabilities, including self-diagnostics, adaptive control, error compensation, thermal and load compensation, and tool wear and breakage monitoring.
		There is a need in the intelligent control research community for quantitative, objective performance metrics to define and structure the problem domain, to improve communication among researchers, and to lay the groundwork for methods to describe and evaluate future new products resulting from research.

	Intelligent Control
		This revision was presented at an ATP workshop for Intelligent Control in Chicago on November 20-21, 1997.
		Other government efforts are typically focusing on the development of manufacturing or process controls for a single industry sector, or as part of the implementation of a specific process, or on component elements of a control system such as improved sensors, all of which are agency mission related.
		Control equipment and software vendors realize that, for their industry to thrive, they must follow the lead of the personal computer industry, developing the bases for architecture, interfaces, and other core technologies essential for broad-based system applications rather than the specialized and incompatible approaches of the past.

	Intelligent Insect Control
		Artcle on "Microbial Control", authored by Ole Skovmand, published in Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, volume 95, Iss 3, July 2007.
		Intelligent Insect Control was founded on the idea that insect control in human health and agricultural context should always be carried out to acchieve maximum, sustainable effect while having minimal negative effect on the environment.
		While we work on ensuring that insect control in agriculture and human health can be done effective in a manner that does not compromise the enviroment we are also keenly aware that any project should be feasible from economic and socio-economic perspectives.

	IEEECSS
		Intelligent control, the discipline where control algorithms are developed by emulating certain characteristics of intelligent biological systems, is being fueled by recent advancements in computing technology and is emerging as a technology that may open avenues for significant technological advances.
		The area of Intelligent Control is a fusion of a number of research areas in Systems and Control, Computer Science, and Operations Research among others, coming together, merging and expanding in new directions and opening new horizons to address the problems of this challenging and promising area.
		Intelligent control systems are typically able to perform one or more of the following functions to achieve autonomous behavior: planning actions at different levels of detail, emulation of human expert behavior, learning from past experiences, integrating sensor information, identifying changes that threaten the system behavior, such as failures, and reacting appropriately.

	Designing intelligent internal control systems
		Intelligent controls give people a more realistic and open minded view of the future and the ability to make flexible plans in the face of multiple possible outcomes.
		The mechanisms for updating controls: Intelligent controls are involved to some extent, inevitably, because there is always the problem of devising a way to keep controls updated for new circumstances, and that requires some kind of intelligent control mechanism to be part of the system.
		Control charts are designed to pick that up as quickly as possible without raising too many false alarms in respect of variation that is not due to some special cause.

		Air craft, automated manufacturing tools, and self guided agricultural equipment all use control systems to stay on track and perform their functions under all kinds of disturbances and fluctuations in the environments they are used.
		When the system being controlled is complex and has to operate under various conditions and disturbances, artificial intelligence techniques offer an excellent alternative to classical control theory techniques.
		Incorporating artificial intelligence into control systems allows these systems to be more flexible, to adapt to various operating conditions and disturbances, and to incorporate human expertise and thinking into their decision making process.
