Floods have various impacts, including loss of life and damage to property. Flood- management reservoirs can help mitigate floods, but their operation also worsen flood impacts. This paper presents a novel forensic engineering approach assess the role reservoir on control. Fourteen criteria are employed for assessing forecast-based prereleases water from storage reduce impact flooding. The prop...

In December 1994, the Brazilian government regulated three new engineering undergraduate degrees. One such degree was in Control and Automation Engineering. The paper discusses how, in Brazil, Control Engineering moved from a relatively small group of courses within Electrical Engineering curricula to an undergraduate degree in its own right. It presents a short review of undergraduate control ...

The purpose of this paper is to outline the leading role the Electrical Engineering Department at Manchester played in the early development of control engineering teaching and research in the UK after the war. The holding of a major UK conference in Control Engineering in Manchester roughly 60 years after the start of this work seems an appropriate time to remind today’s researchers of these e...
