Computer-Control of Fermentation Processes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 87))

Abstract

Already since the 18th century one can witness a steady trend towards the use of machines to replace the muscle power of animals and man. The rise of the digital computer in the fifties has speeded up this process. In the beginning, the computer was used for lower level mental processes such as information retrieval and tedious calculations. Nowadays the digital machine can replace higher level mental processes such as the ability to recognize patterns, to identify systems, to make decisions and so on.
