Workshop 1: Identification in closed loop - a powerful design and tuning tool (theory, algorithms and applications)

System identification in closed loop operation has witnessed a very important development in the last ten years. Two main reasons motivated this development: the frequent requirement for system identification in closed loop (either because the system is unstable or has important drift in open loop operation or because a controller exists already), and the important discovery that models identified in closed loop are generally better, for control design, than those identified in open loop (provided that appropriate algorithms are used). Identification in closed loop is also a very useful tool for controller reduction.
