Combining　the　artificial　neural　network　approach　for　parameter　identification　with　PIP　control　algorithm,　an　adaptive　PIP　control　method　for　time-delay　systems　is　proposed.　Computer　simulation　and　the　application　in　real-time　temperature　control　system　show　that　the　proposed　algorithm　is　suitable　to　control　the　systems　with　varying　parameters　and　long　time　delays.
