Decision and Control, Systems, and Networks
13:00-16:00, February 16, Thursday
CSL B02
Current state of the art control theory draws from and contributes to alternative branches of engineering and mathematics, such as communications, geometry, graph theory, and optimization. The problems are as disparate as the techniques used to solve them, and the ubiquitous increase of sophistication in engineering systems requires a holistic approach which incorporates tools and insights from various perspectives and disciplines. This session invites students to present novel and unique control theoretic results, including but not limited to decentralized control, geometric control, nonlinear and hybrid systems.
