Control networks span a wide range of application areas. These networks are put into action in the Digital Home', industrial applications, commercial buildings, transportation systems, gas stations, security systems, and they are found in most instances where smart sensors and smart actuators are used to exchange information. The authors of this volume provide an overview of various control network protocols and discuss LonTalk(r) protocol, Neuron(r) chip, programming model, network structures, network management, interoperability between nodes, application profiles, development and...

Can psychoanalysis offer a new computer model? Can computer designers help psychoanalysts to understand their theory better?In contemporary publications human psyche is often related to neural networks. Why? The wiring in computers can also be related to application software. But does this really make sense?

Artificial Intelligence has tried to implement functions of human psyche. The reached achievements are remarkable; however, the goal to get a functional model of the mental apparatus was not reached. Was the selected direction incorrect?The editors are convinced: yes, and they...

Feldbussysteme sind im Zusammenwirken mit LANs (Large Area Network) und WANs (Wide Area Network) als Nervensystem anzusehen, das in Systeme aller Bereiche unseres Lebens eingebettet wird. Die Automatisierung erlebt dadurch zur Zeit eine revolutionare Weiterentwicklung. Die Tagung FeT 97 in Wien hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, aktuelle Fragen zu diskutieren. Das Buch beinhaltet Aufsatze, die anlasslich dieser Tagung eingereicht und vom Programmkomitee bestbewertet wurden. Damit ist ein guter Uberblick geboten, welche Schwerpunkte in der Feldbustechnik gegenwartig bearbeitet werden. Der Aufbau des...

To be able to merge the psyche with the neural system has been a long-sought goal. There is much scientific literature on results from research on this topic, but the goal of this “booklet” is to present the subject in a nutshell and to attract a wider audience to this highly complex topic. Scientists often need years to grasp the scope and implications of merging the psyche with the neural system. Does that really have to be the case? What does the simulated model look like? What are the underlying philosophies? Can it be understood without mathematical formalism?Uniting the psyche and...
