This award supports travel for participants in a Conference on Perspectives and Future Directions in Systems and Control Theory, to take place at Rutgers University, NJ, May 23-27, 2011. A primary goal of this conference is to bring together leaders and junior researchers in the field of control theory, in order to exchange ideas and results contrasting different theoretical approaches, and to explore and discuss emerging application areas such as systems biology and networks. Expository talks, technical presentations, and panel discussions will provide opportunities for fostering collaborations among researchers working in various different subfields, as well as for junior researchers, postdocs, and graduate students interested in system and control theory to interact with the established control theory community. The conference will cover a variety of topics including nonlinear stability analysis, construction of feedback mechanisms, systems with impulses, networked systems, control with communication constraints, monotone systems, graph-theoretic approaches to biological networks, and synchronization of interconnected systems. Control systems and feedback loops are ubiquitous in engineering, in areas such as aerospace control, manufacturing and robotics, active damping, climate control of buildings, process control in chemical plants, electrical power systems, bioengineering, consumer products, and active suspensions, automatic braking systems, and engine timing in the automobile industry. One finds control and feedback in nature, as well, for example in the homeostatic mechanisms that allow organisms to finely tune their internal variables such as temperature, pressure, or chemical levels. The mathematical theory of control formulates the basic theoretical principles and provides tools to study problems in these fields. The conference will highlight the interplay between theory and applications, will review some of the main past achievements in the field, and will lead to discussions of future research directions.

该奖项支持参加2011年5月23日至27日在新泽西州罗格斯大学举行的系统和控制理论展望和未来方向会议的与会者的旅行。 本次会议的主要目标是将控制理论领域的领导者和初级研究人员聚集在一起，以交流不同理论方法的思想和结果，并探索和讨论新兴的应用领域，如系统生物学和网络。 解释性的谈话，技术演示和小组讨论将提供机会，促进在不同子领域工作的研究人员之间的合作，以及对系统和控制理论感兴趣的初级研究人员，博士后和研究生与已建立的控制理论社区进行互动。 会议将涵盖各种主题，包括非线性稳定性分析，反馈机制的构建，脉冲系统，网络系统，通信约束控制，单调系统，生物网络的图论方法，以及互联系统的同步。控制系统和反馈回路在工程中无处不在，在诸如航空航天控制、制造和机器人、主动阻尼、建筑物的气候控制、化工厂的过程控制、电力系统、生物工程、消费品和主动悬架、自动制动系统以及汽车工业中的发动机正时等领域。 我们在自然界中也发现了控制和反馈，例如，在体内平衡机制中，生物体可以微调其内部变量，如温度，压力或化学水平。 控制的数学理论阐述了基本的理论原理，并提供了研究这些领域问题的工具。 会议将突出理论与应用之间的相互作用，将回顾该领域过去的一些主要成就，并将讨论未来的研究方向。
