Conference on Future Directions in Distributed Parameter Systems

分布式参数系统未来方向会议将提供一个论坛，说明过去在分布式参数系统方面的成就，并指出开放的问题、挑战和未来的研究方向。组织者已经联系并收到了14位全体发言人的初步接受，他们将讨论各自领域的最新技术和未来的研究方向。全体会议发言人还将被要求撰写10-15页的章节，总结他们在发言中提出的观点和建议，这些章节将在会议结束后的一年内出版。其次，年轻的科学家将被邀请发表演讲，重点讨论由分布式参数系统建模的具体应用。这将使年轻科学家有机会了解全体会议发言人提供的观点，并建立一个传播他们自己研究的机制。会议定于2000年10月5日至7日在北卡罗莱纳州立大学举行。理论和计算资源的重大进步最近促进了分布式参数模型和控制设计的发展和实施，这些模型和控制设计包含了复杂物理系统的完整空间和时间行为。由于分布参数方法基于产生系统动力学的物理机制，因此该方法提供了关于系统设计和控制的高级功能。分布式参数系统未来方向会议定于2000年10月5日至7日在北卡罗莱纳州立大学举行，将提供一个论坛，说明该领域过去的成就，并指出开放的问题、挑战和未来的研究方向。组织者已经联系并收到了14位国际知名科学家的暂定录取，他们将讨论各自领域的最新技术和未来的研究方向。全体会议发言者还将被要求编写10-15页的章节，概述他们在发言中提出的观点和建议。这些将在会议结束后的一年内出版。其次，年轻的科学家将被邀请发表演讲，重点讨论由分布式参数系统建模的具体应用。这将使年轻科学家有机会了解全体会议发言人提供的观点，并建立一个传播他们自己研究的机制。

0080784SmithThe Conference on Future Directions in Distributed Parameter Systems will provide a forum that illustrates past accomplishments in distributed parameter systems and indicates open questions, challenges, and future research directions. The organizers have contacted and received tentative acceptance from 14 plenary speakers who will address the state of the art and future research directions in their respective fields. The plenary speakers will also be asked to write 10-15 page chapters, summarizing the perspectives and recommendations made in their addresses, which will be published within a year after the conference. Secondly, younger scientists will be invited to present contributed talks that focus on specific applications modeled by distributed parameter systems. This will provide the younger scientists with exposure to the perspectives provided by the plenary speakers and a mechanism for disseminating their own research. The conference is scheduled for October 5-7, 2000 at North Carolina State University.Significant advances in both theoretical and computational resources have recently facilitated the development and implementation of distributed parameter models and control designs that incorporate the full spatial and temporal behavior of complex physical systems. Because distributed parameter methods are based on the physical mechanisms that produce the system dynamics, the approach provides advanced capabilities with regard to system design and control. The Conference on Future Directions in Distributed Parameter Systems, which is scheduled for October 5-7, 2000 at North Carolina State University, will provide a forum that illustrates past accomplishments in this field and indicates open questions, challenges, and future research directions. The organizers have contacted and received tentative acceptances from 14 internationally recognized scientists who will address the state of the art and future research directions in their respective fields. The plenary speakers will also be asked to write 10-15 page chapters summarizing the perspectives and recommendations made in their addresses. These will be published within a year after the conference. Secondly, younger scientists will be invited to present contributed talks that focus on specific applications modeled by distributed parameter systems.
