GENERAL INFORMATION

Background and Scope

Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) use state-space representations that depend on time varying parameters to represent several types of dynamical systems such as time varying uncertain, non-linear, switching or multi models. LPV modelling allows also for the design of the so-called LPV controllers, where the control parameters are updated according to the measurable plant varying parameters.

In the last 2 decades, LPV systems and control have been an active topic of research in the control systems community. Motivated by this fact, the first IFAC LPVS has been organised in Grenoble, France (2015). Next editions took place in 2018 Florianopolis (Brazil), 2019 Eindhoven (Netherlands), 2021 Milan (Italy), 2022 Montreal (Canada).

This 6th edition of the workshop follows the tradition of its five successful previous ones and aims at presenting new results in the field of LPV systems and their applications in real life problems, by bringing together experts from different countries to discuss new trends, exchange new ideas, establish fruitful contacts, and promote interactions among the various fields of interest. The presentation of papers dealing with the application of the LPV models as well as LPV control strategies to practical setups and industry issued papers is also strongly encouraged.

Workshop topics of interest

With emphasis being on current challenges and new directions in development of theoretical and computational tools for versatile practical applications implemented on advanced control systems (networked, embedded, distributed control systems), the interest of the event include the following topics, but are not limited to:

• Robust stability and performance
• Mu-analysis and synthesis
• Structured and unstructured uncertainties
• Robust model predictive control
• Robust adaptive control
• Robust nonlinear control
• Model and controller reduction
• Identification for robust control
• H-infinity identification
• Iterative identification and control
• H-infinity and optimal estimation
• Quantitative feedback theory
• Frequency domain methods
• LMI and convex optimization
• Computational methods
• Fault detection in Uncertain Systems
• Robust control for distributed parameter systems
• Optimal control and dynamic optimization
• Hybrid systems control
• Networked Systems (coordinated control, cooperation, control under communication constraints, etc.)
• Control applications (e.g., aerospace, automotive, process control, mechatronics, communications, system biology, power systems, power electronics, electrical machines, etc.)

Diversity and Inclusion statement

IFAC, as an international federation serving and representing all those concerned with the theory and application of automatic control and systems engineering wherever situated, is devoted to creating and fostering an inclusive environment that is open to diverse thoughts, ideas, and communications, without fear of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation against any member of this community. It is committed to providing equal opportunities and a safe environment for every person who chooses to participate in its work. Additionally IFAC strives for these same principles for all IFAC activities, including technical events, journals, and its various committees and governing boards.

• IFAC actively promotes the inclusion of a diverse set of speakers, which will lead to more representative discussions across IFAC.
• IFAC actively promotes the inclusion of a diverse set of members of its boards and committees at all levels, which will lead to more representative decisions, policies and activities across IFAC.
