Symposium on Control of Mechanical Systems. To be Held June 19-20, 2006 at the University of California.

机械系统控制（SCMS）研讨会将于2006年6月19日至20日在加州大学伯克利分校举行，以荣誉教授的名义。会议由Roberto Horowitz教授（加州大学伯克利分校）主持，将汇集来自学术界、工业界和政府机构的主要研究人员和实践者，就机械系统建模和控制的最新进展进行互动。SCMS将汇集该领域的主要研究人员，以评估研究现状和未来研究和应用领域。参与是开放的，研讨会已在重要会议和相关电子媒体上公布。SCMS借鉴了许多学科，包括系统理论，控制理论，计算机和通信网络，信号处理，以及广泛的应用领域。预计共有约120名与会者参加本次会议，其中60名将是学生。请拨20 000美元，以支助这次会议。这些资金将用于部分支付一些研究生和本科生的差旅费，这些学生将从参加本次研讨会的学生中选出，并申请差旅费和学生餐费。该基金将用于部分支持一些受邀演讲者的差旅费，他们已经退休，没有其他来源来支持他们的旅行。智力优点：本次研讨会的目的是把领先的研究人员和从业人员从学术界，工业界和政府机构互动的最新进展，在建模和控制的机械系统。该提案的主要目标是向NSF寻求财政支持，邀请大约60名学生参加研讨会，并使他们了解机械系统控制及其应用的最新进展。被邀请的学生将在工作坊上展示海报或口头发言。我们还寻求财政支持，以资助一些已退休的受邀演讲者，他们没有其他来源来支持他们的旅行。将出版一本书，其中将包含研讨会的回忆，并将包括一系列的教程和调查章节，由许多研讨会的主持人撰写，在机械系统控制的不同主题，包括自适应，重复，非线性和最佳控制广告估计，以及最先进的应用。妇女，少数民族和残疾学生将特别鼓励申请。更广泛的影响：本科生和研究生谁参加会议，presentpapers，并参加以学生为导向的活动很可能追求的控制理论及其应用领域的职业生涯。这本书将作为本次研讨会的纪念出版，将是一个有价值的参考和学习工具，为许多本科生和研究生，谁可能正在追求或考虑进入机械系统控制领域。

The Symposium on Control of Mechanical Systems (SCMS) will be held on June 19-20, 2006 atthe University of California, Berkeley in Honor of Professor Masayoshi Tomizuka. Theconference, chaired by Professor Roberto Horowitz (University of California, Berkeley)will bring leading researchers and practitioners from academics, industry, and governmentagencies to interact on the latest advances in modeling and control of mechanical systems.SCMS will bring together leading researchers in the field to assess the current state ofresearch and areas for future research and application. Participation is open and theSymposium has been announced in important conferences and in relevant electronic media.SCMS draws upon many disciplines, including system theory, control theory, computer andcommunication networks, signal processing, and a wide array of application areas. A totalof approximately 120 attendees are expected to participate in this conference, of which 60will be students. An amount of $20,000 is requested to support this conference. The fundswill be used to partially pay for the travel expenses of a number of graduate andundergraduate students that will be selected from among the students that attend thissymposium and apply for travel support and for student dinning expenses. The remainingfunds will be used to partially support the travel expenses of some of the invitedspeakers, who have retired and do not have other sources to support their travel.Intellectual Merit: The purpose of this workshop is to bring leading researchers andpractitioners from academics, industry, and government agencies to interact on the latestadvances in modeling and control of mechanical systems. The primary goal of this proposalis to seek financial support from NSF to invite approximately 60 students to the symposiumand expose them to current advances in the control of mechanical systems and itsapplications. The invited students will present posters or orally in the workshop. Wealso seek financial support to fund some of the invited speakers who have retired and donot have other sources to support their travel. A book will be published, which willcontain the symposium memories and will include a series of tutorial and survey chapters,written by many of the symposium presenters, in diverse subjects of mechanical systemscontrol, including adaptive, repetitive, nonlinear and optimal control ad estimation, aswell as state of the art applications.Travel support for student attendees will be advertised nationally. Women, minorities, anddisabled students will be especially encouraged to apply.Broader Impacts: Undergraduate and graduate students who attend the conference, presentpapers, and participate in student-oriented activities are likely to pursue careers in thefield of control theory and its applications. The book that will be published as thememories of this symposium will be a valuable reference and learning tool for manyundergraduate and graduate students, who may be pursuing or considering entering the fieldof mechanical systems control.
