VI PrefaceThe intended audience are graduate students and researchers both from academia and industry. For newcomers to the field, the book provides a concise introduction dynamic TS fuzzy models along with two methods to construct TS models for a given nonlinear system.While this monograph focusses mainly on the theory and methodology of state and parameter estimation in nonlinear distributed dynamic systems, the methods presented can readily be used in applications such as industrial processes, traffic systems, environmental systems, energy and water distribution networks, and so on.Supplementary information relevant to this book is available at the website:http://www.dcsc.tudelft.nl/fuzzybook/ Comments, suggestions, or questions concerning the book or the website are welcome.
