Adaptive control systems automatically adjust their controller settings         to compensate for changes in the process or environment.  It is                 attractive for difficult control problems where the process is poorly           understood and/or changes in unpredictable ways.  One type of adaptive          controller uses self-tuning control (STC) mechanisms, which estimate            model parameters on-line and adjust controller constants based on the           current parameter estimates.  Much work has been done in this area              using linear models but little using non-linear models.  A priori               knowledge of a particular system's nonlinearities will be used to               design STC strategies.  The algorithms will be experimentally verified          using a pilot size distillation column.  Another complex area is                systems which have multiple inputs and multiple outputs.  Designing STC         for such systems contitutes the second part of this work.
