		Neural Adaptive Control Technology (NACT)
		World-Wide Web and FTP Servers

   The ESPRIT III Basic Research project Neural Adaptive Control
   Technology (NACT) is a joint undertaking of Daimler-Benz (Berlin,
   Germany), Coordinating Partner, and Glasgow University (Glasgow,
   Scotland, UK). It is a three-year project, which started in April
   1994, and is funded by the Commission of the European Communities.

   Project overview
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   The Project aims at a synergy of adaptive control and neural
   networks.  Similarities of both technologies on an abstract
   conceptual level constitute a basis for fundamental, engineering
   orientated research. Basic aspects of the fusion of technologies
   are investigated in the context of multiple computing agents and
   industrial automation environments.

   The focus is on delivery of transparent, constructive and
   engineering orientated design methods resulting from the
   consistent and consolidated theory of Neural Adaptive Control
   Technology (NACT). Emphasis is put on dynamic nonlinear plants and
   adaptive feedback through neural networks.


   World-Wide Web server
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   http://www.mech.gla.ac.uk/~nactftp/nact.html

   FTP server
   ^^^^^^^^^^
   anonymous FTP to: ftp.mech.gla.ac.uk (130.209.12.14)
   directory: nact


   WWW server provides a link to the FTP server. The latter currently
   hosts two files in /nact directory:
	README		basic info
	nact_tp1.ps	PostScript version of the first NACT technical
			report: "A Review of Advances in Neural Adaptive
				Control Systems" (June 1994)
