The BDC in the digital age exists for staying in constant contact with prospects, communicating with and developing more business opportunities with past clients and the retention of loyal customers, increasing sales by driving traffic to the front door. Today the BDC concept is even more important than in the past. This is largely due to the impact of the Internet, social media, Smart-Phones, devices and the instant nature of communication in the digital age. Sales success in today's brave new digital world demands understanding of the place of the BDC in the Internet age and dealing with the needs of the information-based customer.

The authors of this text have written a comprehensive introduction to the modeling and optimization problems encountered when designing new propulsion systems for passenger cars. It is intended for persons interested in the analysis and optimization of vehicle propulsion systems. Its focus is on the control-oriented mathematical description of the physical processes and on the model-based optimization of the system structure and of the supervisory control algorithms.

Internal combustion engines still have a potential for substantial improvements, particularly with regard to fuel efficiency and environmental compatibility. These goals can be achieved with help of control systems. Modeling and Control of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) addresses these issues by offering an introduction to cost-effective model-based control system design for ICE. The primary emphasis is put on the ICE and its auxiliary devices. Mathematical models for these processes are developed in the text and selected feedforward and feedback control problems are discussed. The appendix contains a summary of the most important controller analysis and design methods, and a case study that analyzes a simplified idle-speed control problem. The book is written for students interested in the design of classical and novel ICE control systems.
