Institute of Control and System Research (ICSR) (http://www.icsr.bas.bg ) is a research institute with the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS). It has more then 50 fellows permanent academic staff and more then 20 - technical staff. The activities of ICSR are related to wide range of fields such as modeling of ecological processes, control design of industrial processes, modeling of energy systems, sensors’ technology development, intelligent motion control design of autonomous dynamic objects, development of e-commercial product applications and development of imaging software algorithms.

The main achievements of the ICSR could be summarized as:

· Modeling of biotechnological, ecological and chemical processes based on measured signals and expert information; Development of conventional (deterministic), intelligent (fuzzy and neural) models and models of biotechnological processes taking into account memory effects for prediction and process optimization purposes; Development of methods and procedures for on-line state and parameter estimation of technological processes; Development of methods and algorithms for robust, adaptive and fuzzy control of technological processes.

· Investigation and application of sensors and micro-sensors; Development of intelligent sensor systems, micro-systems, actuators and interface, non-contact automatic sensor hardware and software applied in the automatic control system.

· Design, specification and implementation of soft computing and adaptive human-computer interfaces, mobile computing, wired and wireless network technologies and information and communication technologies. Analysis and synthesis of information and control systems for National Power System.

· Modeling and intelligent motion control of autonomous dynamic objects via learning structures and parallel transputer nets, methods for unconditional and conditional optimization, state estimation of dynamic objects, Kalman filtration, association, integration and data fusion from sensory information systems.
