               In recent 
                years, intelligent control has emerged as one of the most active 
                and fruitful areas of research and development. Intelligent systems 
                are usually described by analogies with biological systems by, 
                for example, looking at how human beings perform control tasks, 
                recognize patterns, or make decisions. Such area is a fusion of 
                systems and control, computer science and operations research. 
                Intelligent control systems are typically able to perform one 
                or more of the following functions: planning actions at different 
                levels, learning from past experience, identifying changes against 
                the system behavior, such as performance degradation, failures, 
                cross-coupling and then reacting appropriately. The field of intelligent 
                control has been applied to modern industrial systems, which are 
                under dominance by diverse technical spheres of knowledge, specially 
                containing mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, control system and 
                drive train devices, where large models are required. To keep 
                up the driving technology, engineers need to build systems orders 
                of magnitude more complex than previous ones and deploy them faster. 
                Therefore, intelligent control techniques are important for dealing 
                with complex systems under such a new paradigm. This paper will 
                focus on neural networks and fuzzy logic applications into the 
                design of control systems. 
                 
              2. TECHNIQUES 
                FOR INTELLIGENT CONTROL 
                The area of Intelligent Control is a fusion of a number of research 
                areas in Systems and Control, Computer Science, and Operations 
                Research among others, coming together, merging and expanding 
                in new directions and opening new horizons to address the problems 
                of this challenging and promising area. Intelligent control systems 
                are typically able to perform one or more of the following functions 
                to achieve autonomous behavior: planning actions at different 
                levels of detail, emulation of human expert behavior, learning 
                from past experiences, integrating sensor information, identifying 
                changes that threaten the system behavior, such as failures, and 
                reacting appropriately. This identifies the areas of Planning 
                and Expert Systems, Fuzzy Systems, Neural Networks, Machine Learning, 
                Multi-sensor Integration, Failure Diagnosis, and Reconfigurable 
                Control, to mention but a few, as existing research areas that 
                are related and important to Intelligent Control.  
                While these techniques provide several key approaches to Intelligent 
                Control, for complex systems they are often interconnected to 
                operate within an architecture which is hierarchical and often 
                distributed. It is for this reason that the areas of hierarchical 
                intelligent control, distributed intelligent control, and architectures 
                for intelligent systems are of significant importance in the design 
                and construction of the overall intelligent controller for complex 
                dynamical systems.  
                
                Finally, it is of fundamental importance to recognize that (i) 
                intelligent controllers are nonlinear (possibly hierarchical and 
                distributed) controllers that are constructed in non conventional 
                ways, and (ii) intelligent controllers are often designed to operate 
                in "critical environments" where, for example, the safety 
                of a crew (e.g., in an aircraft/spacecraft), or environmental 
                issues are of concern (e.g., from nuclear power plants or process 
                control). Hence, it is both possible, and of significant importance 
                to introduce mathematical modeling and analysis techniques to 
                be used in the verification and certification of the behavior 
                of intelligent control systems.
