Workshop on Future Directions for Systems and Control Theory; June 22-25, 1999; Cascais, Portugal

9909249dahleh系统与控制领域是一个多学科技术领域，对现代科学和工程中至关重要的系统分析和设计至关重要。应用包括电力和能源系统、运输系统、消费电器和电子产品、机器人、自动化工业过程、化学和过程控制、国防和航空航天系统、船舶系统等。系统和控制方法在宏观经济和宏观经济研究、金融系统、新兴和成熟产业的系统动力学以及社会经济系统中变得越来越重要。与爆炸式的应用并行，在过去的十年中，PI在系统分析和控制系统设计的新理论、方法和计算机辅助设计软件的发展方面取得了很大的进步。这些理论的进步为工程师和科学家研究日益复杂的系统提供了坚实的方法论基础。简而言之，系统和控制理论处理动态不确定性下的最优决策策略。要发展相关的理论和方法还有很多工作要做，因为涉及复杂的大规模系统、分散/分布式决策和增加的动态不确定性的应用程序类别存在“理论差距”。提议的讲习班的目的是仅通过邀请召集一小群杰出的国际和葡萄牙专家，以评估系统和控制理论的最新技术，并帮助确定下一个十年的新的和相关的研究方向

9909249DahlehThe field of systems and control is a multidisciplinary technology area that is crucial for the analysis and design of systems that are critical in modem science and engineering. Applications include power and energy systems, transportation systems, consumer appliances and electronics, robotics, automated industrial processes, chemical and process control, defense and aerospace systems, marine systems and many others. System and control methodologies are becoming increasingly important in macroeconomic and macroeconomic studies, financial systems, system dynamics for emerging and mature industries and socioeconomic systems.In parallel with the exploding applications, during the past decade the PI's have seen a great degree of progress in the development of novel theories, methodologies, and computer-aided design software for systems analysis and control system design. Such theoretical advances provide engineers and scientists with solid methodology foundations for the study of systems that are increasingly complex. In succinct terms, systems and control theory deal with optimal decision making strategies under dynamic uncertainties. Much remains to be done to develop relevant now theories and methodologies, since there is a "theory gap" for the class of applications that involve complex large-scale systems, decentralized/distributed decision making with increased dynamic uncertainty.The purpose of the proposed workshop is to convene, by invitation only, a small select group of distinguished international and Portuguese experts to assess the state-of-the-art in systems and control theory and help define new and relevant directions for research for the next decade.***
