This book contains selected contributions to a symposium whose aim was to present methods which contribute to the solutions of typical problems with mechanical systems. The limits of performance that can be achieved by controlling dynamics were evaluated, and gaps in present research and areas for future research were indicated. Leading experts from quite different areas presented their points of view.
