Frontier of Control Workshop, held in the Spring, 2010.

这次研讨会的目的是确定未来十年可能对能源、生物和认知科学产生变革性影响的系统和控制的范式转变、高影响力的研究和教育主题。新的工具和理论将进一步促进对控制系统及其在更广泛的系统和应用中的应用的了解和理解。这次研讨会是一个机会，为基本控制系统设计/研究问题制定新的方向，这些问题不符合目前众所周知的控制器设计方法。能源、生物和认知科学等专题领域的专家将被邀请就其各自领域的研究挑战和需求发表演讲，这些挑战和需求可以通过当今控制研究界尚未开发的新工具和理论来解决。将组织工作组并负责制定研究需求的具体细节。研讨会的最后报告将总结研讨会的讨论结果。研讨会旨在对工程和科学领域产生广泛影响，在这些领域，系统和控制理论和方法是不可或缺的一部分。具体地说，研讨会将鼓励控制系统研究人员与能源、生物和认知科学领域的研究人员之间的合作，并促进交叉受精和跨学科研究。讲习班将鼓励年轻和任职人数不足的研究人员群体参加，以加强代表的多样性和他们对科学活动的参与。总结报告将为未来十年控制系统的发展提供研究和教育指导。

The objective of this workshop is to identify paradigm shifting high impact research and education themes for systems and control that could lead to transformative impacts on energy, biology and cognitive sciences in the next decade. New tools and theories will further advance knowledge and understanding of control system and its application to an expanded range of systems and applications. This workshop is an opportunity to formulate new directions for basic control systems design/research issues that do not fit into the by now well-known methods of controller design. Experts in the thematic areas of energy, biology and cognitive sciences will be invited to speak about the research challenges and the needs in their respective area that can be addressed by new tools and theories that are not being developed by the control research community today. Working groups will be organized and charged to develop specific details in research needs. A final report of the workshop will be composed to summarize the outcome of the workshop discussion.The workshop is designed to have a broad impact in engineering and science areas where systems and control theory and approach are an integral part. Specifically, the workshop will encourage collaboration between control system researchers and researchers in energy, biology and cognitive science area and foster cross-fertilization and interdisciplinary research. The workshop will encourage the participation of young and underrepresented groups of researchers to enhance the diversity of representation and their involvement in scientific activities. The summary report will provide research and education guideline for control system development for the next decade.
