High-Performance Numerical Software for Control

Kurzfassung

The article "High-Performance Numerical Software for Control" concerns the development of quality software for control applications that perform efficiently and reliably on today'S modern computing machines. In particular, the subroutine library SLICOT is described. This library is the main outcome of the European project NICONET. The article gives the background and motivation for the development of this library and describes its most important features. SLICOT is freely available for nuncommercial use and provides many powerful user-callable routines for solving complex system analysis and control design tasks. Today SLICOT can be considered a synonym for reliable numerical algorithms, efficient computation, and robust numerical software for systems and control.
