Abstract

Apparatus for control of a complex process, said process being described by a plurality of input variables, a plurality of intermediate variables and a plurality of output variables having relationships therebetween such that ones of said inputs and said intermediate variables effect respectively different output variables, each of said output variables having a target, said apparatus comprising an optimizer for finding an optimum value for respective ones of said input and intermediate variables to maximize a summed convergence of said output variables to said targets.
