Student Travel Grant for Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control

这是一个支持研究生参加第三届混合系统：计算与控制国际研讨会的建议，该研讨会将于2000年3月23日至25日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行。本次研讨会的目标是提供一个国际论坛，展示混合动力系统设计的新结果、方法和工具。“混合系统”这个术语在过去几年中出现，用来描述越来越多的计算机控制系统，这些系统需要连续和离散状态变量的混合物来有效地建模。人们普遍认为，缺乏一种令人满意的、经济有效的方法来设计可靠和高效的混合动力系统。混合系统研讨会的目的是发展一个综合离散和连续技术的科学共同体和知识体系。会议将包括四名受邀的全体发言人和由项目委员会从提交的扩展摘要中选出的30多份贡献报告。预计约有100名研究人员出席。该提案要求为大约20名研究生参加研讨会提供财政支持。

This is a proposal to support graduate students to attend the Third International Workshopon Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control, to be held March 23-25, 2000, in Pittsburgh,PA. The goal of this workshop is to provide an international forum for presenting novelresults, methodologies, and tools for the design of hybrid dynamic systems. The term'hybrid systems' has emerged over the past few years to describe the increasing number ofcomputer-controlled systems that require a mixture of continuous and discrete statevariables to be modeled effectively. The lack of a satisfactory, cost-effectivemethodologies for designing reliable and efficient hybrid systems is widely acknowledged.It is the purpose of the workshops on hybrid systems to develop a scientific communityand a body of knowledge that synthesizes discrete and continuous technologies. Themeeting will include four invited plenary speakers and more than 30 contributedpresentations selected by a program committee from submitted extended abstracts.Attendance of approximately 100 researchers is expected. This proposal asks for financialsupport for approximately 20 graduate students to attend the workshop.
