This Festschrift contains a collection of articles by friends, co-authors, colleagues, and former Ph.D. students of Keith Glover, Professor of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. Professor Glover's scientific work spans a wide variety of topics, the main themes being system identification, model reduction and approximation, robust controller synthesis, and control of aircraft and engines. The articles in this volume are a tribute to Professor Glover's seminal work in these areas.

From the contents LMI-based Gain Scheduled Controller Synthesis for a Class of Linear Parameter Varying Systems.- Control of High-Speed Underwater Vehicles.- Using Feedback to Improve System Identification.- On the Gap Metric for Finite-Dimensional Linear Time-Varying Systems in Continuous Time.- Robustly Stabilizing Controllers with Internal Loop.- Model Reduction of Strongly Stable Nonstationary LPV Systems.- Getting Mobile Autonomous Robots to Rendezvous.- Experiment Design for Robust Control: Why do More Work than is Needed?.- Past, Present and Future of Automotive Control.- Review of Multivariable Control Applied to the VAAC Harrier and Remaining Open Questions.- Regulating cell shape during cytokinesis.- Intrinsic Uncertainty in Gene Regulation Network.- An Approximate Dynamic Programming Approach to Decentralized Control of Stochastic Systems.- An H8 Loop-Shaping Approach to Steering Control for High-Performance Motorcycles.- Frequency Domain Versus Time Domain Methods in System Identification Revisited.

From the reviews:

"The book is Volume 329 of the series, 'Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences,' meant as a tribute to Keith Glover (Professor of Engineering at the University of Cambridge). There are 21 chapters (papers) in this volume ... . The papers, covering a wide range of topics in the field, are very theoretical and suitable for a specialist ... . it is worth reading. It is highly recommended to all interested in Control and Information Theory." (Nora Vilchinska and Richard J. Peppin, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 13 (1), 2008)
