This technical monograph explores the automation of mixed processes through the lens of hybrid dynamical systems. Authored by Janan Zaytoon, the work delves into advanced control strategies for systems combining continuous and discrete dynamics, offering both theoretical frameworks and practical applications. The text addresses challenges in modeling complex industrial processes, emphasizing robustness and adaptability in automated control systems. It serves as a resource for engineers and researchers in automation, control theory, and systems engineering, providing methodologies for optimizing mixed-process environments. The book’s focus on hybrid systems aligns with contemporary trends in industrial automation, where seamless integration of analog and digital components is critical. While rooted in mathematical rigor, the content balances technical depth with accessibility, making it valuable for both academic study and industrial implementation. The publication by Hermes in 2000 reflects its role as a specialized reference in the field of automated systems.
