Abstract :
The control of hard disks and the control of optical disks share many of the same features. However, these problems also have some fundamental differences which yield a very different set of problems for each. Recent efforts in each type of system can be seen in the context of trying to add in the best elements of the other. With this in mind, it is useful to examine these parallel problems in a tutorial fashion to understand what links and separates them and thus, when elements of one can be applied to the other
