Reviews

There are ten chapters. Each has some general material, as well as complementary material with specific examples. ... There are a number of useful and informative diagrams of system structure. ... Overall, this book is a fairly good read with lots of interesting examples and some thoughtful commentary along the way. (Jeffrey Putnam, Computing Reviews, March, 2016) It is a self-contained work whose basic concepts are presented at the beginning and gradually introduces a true discipline of the control systems that is accessible to a large group of nonspecialists. ... A number of examples are aimed in systems found in organizations and companies, thus the text can aid in the professional growth of managers, consultants and corporate employees in general. Teachers, professionals and educated people in general can also find sources for reflection. (Vasile Dragan, zbMATH, Vol. 1303, 2015)
