Description:
The last few years have been characterized by exciting
new developments in system theory. Breakthroughs in
system representations, in the analysis of nonlinear
dynamical systems, in the design of intelligent adaptive
control algorithms, and in the modeling and verification
of hybrid systems have greatly contributed to the
electrifying and turbulent atmosphere that presently
exists within the field. The mini-course "System Theory
on the Eve of the 21st Century" brings together a group
of experts on system theory to lecture on state-of-the-art
topics of current interest in the field - and to speculate
on the directions these topics might be headed in the
future. The lectures are aimed at an audience consisting
of graduate students, researchers, and university
professors with back-grounds in System Theory or
Applied Mathematics.
Speakers: Roger Brockett - Harvard University, Alberto Isidori - University of Rome, Petar Kokotovic - University of California, A. Stephen Morse -, Yale University, António Pascoal - Instituto Superior Técnico, Shankar Sastry - University of California, João Sentieiro - Instituto Superior, Técnico, Jan Willems - University of Groningen
