点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
