Workshop on Future Directions in Control, Dynamics and Systems, August 5-7, 2014, Pasadena, CA

控制、动力学和系统的未来方向研讨会该提案将汇集美国和国际领先的研究人员，讨论控制和反馈、动力学、几何、系统、网络和应用方面的最新进展。研讨会将重点讨论加州理工学院控制与动力系统（CDS）项目与新兴机遇之间的联系。本次研讨会是独一无二的，因为它将带来杰出的美国和国际研究人员参与和讨论未来的方向控制和动力系统社区。会议的目标是回顾过去20年该领域取得的一些成功，并讨论未来20年的新机遇。研讨会的一个特别重点将是CDS的未来方向如何更好地为国家服务，以及如何在这一重要领域培养新一代的科学家和工程师。示例应用领域包括航空航天和运输、生物和医学、通信和网络、经济和金融、能源和基础设施、材料和加工、机器人和智能机器。研讨会将于2014年8月5日至7日在加州帕萨迪纳举行。研讨会将包括三个主要主题(1)控制和反馈(2)动力学和几何(3)系统、网络和应用。研讨会将对研究生和本科生具有很强的教育成分，特别是那些寻求为21世纪的控制理论定义一个令人兴奋的论文主题的学生，该理论将继续以多种方式影响社会和技术。研讨会的成果将发表在IEEE控制系统杂志上，以便更广泛地传播。预计本次研讨会将对控制系统工程的研究和创新方向产生重大影响。

Workshop on Future Directions in Control, Dynamics and SystemsThe proposal is to bring together leading US and international researchers to discuss latest advances in control and feedback, dynamics, and geometry, systems, networks and applications. The workshop sessions will focus on established connections between topics in Control and Dynamical Systems (CDS) program at Caltech and emerging opportunities. This workshop is unique as it will bring in distinguished US and international researchers to participate and discuss future directions for the control and dynamical systems community. The goal is recognize some of the successes of the field in the past 20 years and to talk about new opportunities in the next 20 years. A particular focus of the workshop will be on how the future directions of CDS can better serve the nation, and how to educate a new breed of scientists and engineers in this important area. Sample application areas include aerospace and transportation, biology and medicine, communications and networking, economics and finance, energy and infrastructure, materials and processing, and robotics and intelligent machines. The workshop will be held on August 5-7, 2014 in Pasadena, CA. The workshop will include three major themes (1) control and feedback (2) dynamics and geometry (3) systems, networks and applications. The workshop will have a strong educational component for graduate and undergraduate students, especially those seeking to define an exciting thesis topic for a 21st century control theory that continues to impact society and technology in numerous ways. The outcome of the workshop will be published in the IEEE Control Systems Magazine for wider dissemination. It is expected that this workshop will have a significant impact in setting the direction of research and innovations in control system engineering.
