International Workshop on Robust Control - March 9-10, 2001, Rice Univ., Houston, TX

控制理论在20世纪后半叶经历了爆炸性的发展。随着线性二次最优控制、几何结构理论、鲁棒性分析与综合、h -∞和L1最优控制等学科的发展，该领域已发展成为一门优雅而严谨的科学学科。受邀的演讲者包括许多在上述一些领域创造或贡献的先驱研究人员。研讨会将为这群杰出的系统和控制科学家提供机会，聚集在一起讨论该领域的现状。它对这门学科进程的影响怎么强调也不为过。因此，我们计划将在研讨会上发表的论文整理成书。

Control theory witnessed explosive growth in the latter half of the 20th century. The field matured into an elegant and rigorous scientific discipline as a result of developments in linear quadratic optimal control, geometric structure theory, robustness analysis and synthesis, H-infinity and L1 optimal control. The invited speakers include many pioneering researchers who created or contributed to, some of the above fields. The workshop will provide the opportunity for this outstanding group of system and control scientists to assemble and discuss the status of the field. Its impact on the course of this discipline cannot be overstated. For this reason we plan to assemble the papers presented at the Workshop in book form.
