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

机械系统控制研讨会(SCMS)将于2006年6月19-20日在加州大学伯克利分校举行，纪念Tomizuka Masayoshi教授。会议由加州大学伯克利分校的Roberto Horowitz教授主持，将汇集来自学术界、工业界和政府机构的顶尖研究人员和实践者，就机械系统建模和控制方面的最新进展进行交流。SCMS将汇集该领域的顶尖研究人员，以评估当前的研究状况和未来研究和应用的领域。SCMS是开放参与的，已在重要会议和相关电子媒体上宣布。SCMS涉及许多学科，包括系统理论、控制理论、计算机和通信网络、信号处理和广泛的应用领域。预计将有大约120人参加这次会议，其中60人将是学生。请拨20 000美元以支助这次会议。这些资金将用于支付一些研究生和本科生的部分旅费，这些研究生和本科生将从参加这次研讨会的学生中挑选出来，并申请旅费和学生餐费。剩余的资金将用于部分受邀演讲者的旅费，这些演讲者已经退休，没有其他来源支持他们的差旅。智力价值：这次研讨会的目的是让来自学术界、工业界和政府机构的顶尖研究人员和实践者就机械系统建模和控制方面的最新进展进行交流。这项提议的主要目标是寻求NSF的资金支持，邀请大约60名学生参加研讨会，并让他们了解机械系统及其应用控制的最新进展。被邀请的学生将在研讨会上展示海报或口头展示。我们还寻求财政支持，以资助一些已退休、没有其他来源支持其旅行的受邀演讲者。将出版一本书，其中将包含研讨会的记忆，并将包括一系列教程和调查章节，由许多研讨会演讲者撰写，涉及机械系统控制的不同主题，包括自适应、重复、非线性和最优控制和估计，以及最新的应用。为学生与会者提供的旅行支持将在全国范围内宣传。女性、少数民族和残疾学生将被特别鼓励申请。更广泛的影响：参加会议、发表论文和参与面向学生的活动的本科生和研究生可能会在控制理论及其应用领域寻求职业生涯。这本书将作为本次研讨会的备忘录出版，对于许多正在攻读或考虑进入机械系统控制领域的本科生和研究生来说，将是一本有价值的参考和学习工具。

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.
