The steps to be followed in the identification of process dynamics are developed logically. These steps cover experiment design, the use of physical laws and a priori knowledge, model structure determination, parameter estimation and model validation. The presentation is directed toward guiding the control engineer in industry to the intelligent use of the copious, well-documented supply of theory and case studies. Emphasis is laid upon techniques which have proven practical value.
