Description:
During the last years, Interval Analysis has been widely applied to solve open problems in Systems and Control Engineering. For instance, problems like analysis and synthesis of robust controllers for uncertain plants or fuzzy inference has been stated from the interval point of view. Other fields where the use of Interval Analysis is increasing are qualitative, semiqualitative and interval simulation and their application to fault detection and diagnosis and to systems identification.

All these applications benefit of the ability of intervals to manipulate imprecise data, keep track of truncation and round-off errors and reliability, but they suffer the main weakness of the classical Interval Analysis: too conservative results are often obtained when the range of a function is computed.

The aims of this workshop are: 1.to present recent advances in applications of Interval Analysis in Control, focusing on the limitations and drawbacks of Classical Interval Analysis, 2.to present recent advances on the Modal Interval Analysis, a new paradigm on uncertainty representation, and some of its recent applications to control, 3.to analyse and discuss, in the context of Modal Interval Analysis, open problems in the field of Control Systems where Classical Interval Analysis is used and fails or seems to be limited.
