  2. Control engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_engineering

    Control engineering has diversified applications that include science, finance management, and even human behavior. Students of control engineering may start with a linear control system course dealing with the time and complex-s domain, which requires a thorough background in elementary mathematics and Laplace transform , called classical ...

  3. Information technology controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Information_technology_controls

    IT control objectives typically relate to assuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and the overall management of the IT function. IT controls are often described in two categories: IT general controls and IT application controls. ITGC includes controls over the hardware, system software, operational processes, access to ...

  4. Scientific control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_control

    A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable (i.e. confounding variables). [1] This increases the reliability of the results, often through a comparison between control measurements and the other measurements.

  5. Control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_theory

    The definition of a closed loop control system according to the British Standards Institution is "a control system possessing monitoring feedback, the deviation signal formed as a result of this feedback being used to control the action of a final control element in such a way as to tend to reduce the deviation to zero."

  6. Finite-state machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine

    They are used for control applications and in the field of computational linguistics. In control applications, two types are distinguished: Moore machine The FSM uses only entry actions, i.e., output depends only on state. The advantage of the Moore model is a simplification of the behaviour. Consider an elevator door.

    The definition of a closed loop control system according to the British Standards Institution is "a control system possessing monitoring feedback, the deviation signal formed as a result of this feedback being used to control the action of a final control element in such a way as to tend to reduce the deviation to zero." [2]

  8. Instrumentation and control engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumentation_and...

    Instrumentation engineering is the science of the measurement and control of process variables within a production or manufacturing area. [1] Meanwhile, control engineering, also called control systems engineering, is the engineering discipline that applies control theory to design systems with desired behaviors.

  9. Guidance, navigation, and control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guidance,_navigation,_and...

    Guidance, navigation and control (abbreviated GNC, GN&C, or G&C) is a branch of engineering dealing with the design of systems to control the movement of vehicles, especially, automobiles, ships, aircraft, and spacecraft. In many cases these functions can be performed by trained humans.
