Design the software and the hardware of servo controllers

I search information about design the software and the hardware of controllers especially servo controllers.​I have several questions about this subject and I will glad if you can write your opinion and add some relevant links.​A. I want to understand these things:​A.1. What is developing recognition process?​A.2. What are automatic tuning controller parameters? What is Automatic unit?​A.3. What is developing of controller algorithms?​A.4. What is controller simulation?​A.5. What is writing real time code for controllers?​A.6. What are servo controllers?​A.7. What is adaptive control? ​ ​B. I search any relevant information, website links, or your comments about these things:​B.1. writing algorithms in digital control (difference equations and the analytical analysis [like Z transform and others analytical analysis])​B.2. simulation for controllers in Matlab​B.3. wire (not wireless) communication between the controller and the processor​B.4. operation systems that use in the controllers​ B.5. smart electronic board with processor that do the control on mechanics systems​
