7th Midwest Workshop on Control and Game Theory. To Be Held at Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI April 28-29, 2018.

对社会、经济和技术系统进行系统的建模、分析和设计，需要融合不同科学学科的思想，包括控制论、优化、经济学和博弈论。这些系统通常涉及多个决策代理在网络上相互作用，形成所谓的网络-物理-人类系统的子集。此类系统的例子包括智能电网、联网和自动驾驶汽车、智能制造和混合人-自动机系统。最近的技术进步使这些系统在广泛的应用中日益普及。这些系统的有效设计需要工程、经济、社会科学以及工业专家之间的相互作用。这构成了2018年4月28日至29日在密歇根州东兰辛举办的第7届中西部控制和博弈论研讨会的基础，在那里，来自中西部各州的控制、优化、博弈论、经济学和计算方面的领先专家聚集在一起，促进跨学科和跨学科的研究互动与合作。研讨会的目的是促进和加强广泛学科的专家之间的研究讨论和合作，包括生物学，经济学和工程学。本次研讨会的议程比前几届更广泛，工业界的参与也更多。受邀演讲者是控制、博弈论、应用概率、计算、动力系统、经济学和优化领域的顶尖专家。三个子主题，(i)网络控制系统，（ii）博弈论和优化在社会系统中的应用，以及（iii）联网和自动驾驶汽车，确保研讨会的广泛议程集中在网络-物理-人类系统的理论和应用上。研讨会还包括一个海报环节，让学生和博士后展示他们目前的研究。顶尖专家对他们的研究的反馈和指导将极大地使这些年轻的研究人员受益。邀请演讲者的选择是为了确保研究领域的广泛代表性，这样的曝光也将使年轻的研究人员受益匪浅。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Systematic modeling, analysis, and design of social, economical, and technological systems require confluence of ideas from diverse scientific disciplines, including control theory, optimization, economics and game theory. These systems often involve multiple decision-making agents interacting over a network and form a subset of so-called cyber-physical-human systems. Examples of such systems include smart grid, connected and autonomous vehicles, smart manufacturing, and mixed human-automata systems. Recent advances in technology have made these systems increasingly pervasive in a broad range of applications. Effective design of these systems requires interactions among experts from engineering, economics, and social sciences as well as industry. This forms the basis for organizing the 7th Midwest Workshop on Controls and Game Theory on April 28 - 29, 2018 in East Lansing, MI, where leading experts on controls, optimization, game theory, economics and computation from the Midwestern states are brought together to facilitate interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research interactions and collaborations. The purpose of the workshop is to facilitate and enhance research discussions and collaborations among experts in a broad range of disciplines, including biology, economics, and engineering. The workshop has a broader agenda than the previous editions and involves an increased participation from industry. The invited speakers are leading experts in the areas of controls, game theory, applied probability, computation, dynamical systems, economics, and optimization. The three sub-themes, (i) networked control systems, (ii) application of game theory and optimization to societal systems, and (iii) connected and autonomous vehicles, ensure that the broad agenda of the workshop is focused both on theory and application of cyber-physical-human systems. The workshop also includes a poster session in which students and postdocs present their current research. The feedback and mentoring on their research from the leading experts will tremendously benefit these young researchers. The invited speakers are selected to ensure a broad representation of research areas and such exposure will also benefit young researchers immensely.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
