The conference will focus on discussing, examining, reviewing, and identifying the state-of-the-art, questions, issues, challenges, opportunities, and new directions in the research of control systems governed by nonlinear partial differential equations. This area is driven by technological developments in smart materials, active actuators and sensors, as well as by advances in the mathematical theory of nonlinear partial differential equations and dynamical systems. Major themes will include both theory and applications, including smart materials, nonlinear plates and shells in structural control, control of fluids, nonlinear functional-analytic and partial differential equations techniques, and chaotic distributed parameter systems.
