Implementation of generalized predictive control (GPC) for a real-time process control using labview

Real-time control is an approach to evaluate process system with real-time parameters by controlling selected variables to accomplish the control objectives. Real-time issues such as rapid testing, nonlinearity and computational problem have led researchers in recent years to do intensive work on de...
