Abstract
This paper describes some of the control problems faced by the engineers working at the Joint European Torus (JET), focusing mostly on the control of plasma shape, position, and current. It details the control methodology used on JET, which can serve as guide for the design of sophisticated multivariable, yet user friendly, controllers for the next generation of fusion experiments.
