8th Midwest Workshop on Control and Game Theory; St. Louis, Missouri; 27-28 April 2019

社会、经济和技术系统的系统建模、分析和设计需要融合来自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进行交互，并形成所谓的网络物理人类系统的子集。此类系统的示例包括智能电网、联网和自动驾驶车辆、智能制造和混合人类自动机系统。技术的最新进展使得这些系统在广泛的应用中越来越普遍。这些系统的有效设计需要来自工程、经济、社会科学和工业的专家之间的互动。这构成了2019年4月27日至28日在密苏里州圣路易斯组织第八届中西部控制和博弈论研讨会的基础，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，以促进跨学科和跨学科的研究互动和合作。研讨会的目的是促进和加强研究讨论和专家之间的合作，在广泛的学科，包括生物学，经济学和工程。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。本次研讨会的四个主题是：（i）复杂网络和大规模控制系统，（ii）经济和社会系统的博弈论，（iii）优化，学习和计算方法，以及（iv）新兴应用和技术。这些主题将确保研讨会重点关注网络物理人类系统的理论和应用。研讨会还包括一个海报会议，学生和博士后研究人员将介绍他们目前的研究。来自该领域领先专家的反馈和指导将使这些年轻的研究人员受益匪浅。受邀演讲者的选择是为了确保研究领域的广泛代表性和工程领域代表性不足的群体的实质性参与。该奖项反映了NSF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 8th Midwest Workshop on Controls and Game Theory on April 27 - 28, 2019 in St. Louis, Missouri, 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 invited speakers are leading experts in the areas of controls, game theory, applied probability, computation, dynamical systems, economics, and optimization. The four themes of this workshop are: (i) complex networks and large-scale control systems, (ii) game theory for economic and societal systems, (iii) optimization, learning, and computational methods, and (iv) emerging applications and technologies. These themes will ensure the workshop focuses on both the theory and application of cyber-physical-human systems. The workshop also includes a poster session in which students and postdoctoral researchers will present their current research. The feedback and mentoring of their research from leading experts in the field will tremendously benefit these young researchers. The invited speakers are selected to ensure a broad representation of research areas and substantial participation from underrepresented groups in engineering.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.
