 This book focuses on control configuration selection or the input-output pairing problem, which is defined as the procedure of selecting the appropriate input and output pair for the design of SISO (or block) controllers. An improper input-output pairing selection can be detrimental to closed loop stability and performance. The main objective in selecting an appropriate control configuration is to minimize the loop interactions. This will facilitate the single input single output independent design that is the basis of many industrial control systems. This book is the first monograph to deal in depth with the issue of control configuration selection. It is designed and written to serve the needs of a wide audience working in the area of decentralized control systems both in the academia and industry. The engineers and students interested in control configuration selection techniques, engineers already acquainted with the basic concepts and willing to be familiar with the more advanced strategies and postgraduate students who in addition to the aforementioned points want to get to the frontiers of research in the field may find this book useful.
