Abstract
Biomedical systems are a complex collection of case studies where the principles of automation and control theory are seeing increased application. This growing interest has a twofold motivation: the need for advanced automation and treatment design tools for use in medical practice and the challenges inherent to biomedical systems and clinical deployment of technology. This chapter provides an overview of the automation, control, and optimization tools used in the biomedical arena. While the scope of potential applications is vast, examples of biomedical treatment design systems for cancer and insulin-dependent diabetes are discussed. The chapter concludes by scratching the surface of emerging areas in need of translated or novel systems and automation tools.
