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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Workshop topics of interest<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Robust stability and performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mu-analysis and synthesis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Structured and unstructured
