Background and Scope
Background and Scope of the Conference
The symposium, the 13th in the series, is focused on the design of nonlinear control systems and aims to explore current theoretical developments as well as their latest applications to advanced engineering problems. The goal of the symposium is to gather leading experts from academia and industry, active in the field of nonlinear control systems, to present and discuss papers describing new design methodologies for the control of nonlinear plants. The program will include invited survey papers by leading international authorities and encourage wide ranging discussions by all participants on basic problems and future research directions.
