COSY 2022
1st IFAC Workshop on Control of Complex Systems
November 24-25, 2022, Bologna, Italy
It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 1st IFAC Workshop on Control of Complex Systems, COSY 2022, to be held in Bologna, Italy, on November 24-25, 2022. The workshop aims to gather academics and professionals from the control community and offer to them a forum where discussing current research developments, open problems, emerging tools and methodologies on the control of complex systems.
The focus of the workshop will be on control of dynamical systems characterized by complexity due to one or more of the following features: uncertainty or lack of knowledge about the system dynamics; perturbations, disturbances and changes of the external demand; uncertainty or variability of the interconnection topology; hybrid or heterogeneous nature of the involved sub-processes; structural adaptation to moving goals and operational requirements; uncertain or variable environment; large dimensionality; constrained variables and communication constraints. Examples of complex systems in the above sense are structure evolving systems, switching systems, impulsive systems, networks of agents, and, more generally, systems of systems and cyber-physical systems. Applications are in modelling and control of natural processes (e.g., in biology and genetics), social sciences dynamics (e.g., in community networks studies) and man-made processes (e.g., in engineering design, manufacturing, networks and communications, power distribution, management).
The submission wizard is now open at https://ifac.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/start.pl
Submissions are solicited in the form of contributed papers and invited sessions. All submissions will be subject to a review process and will be selected for inclusion in the workshop program on the basis of the referees' reports and the IPC's assessment. At the time of the final submission, at least one author should register to the workshop. Accepted papers that have been presented at the workshop will be published in the proceedings of the event using the open-access IFAC-PapersOnLine series hosted on ScienceDirect (https://sciencedirect.com/).
