Two-Day Workshops:
[CANCELLED] MT1: Tensegrity Systems
R. Skelton (UC San Diego) and M. Oliveira (UC San Diego)
This workshop is intended for engineers and mathematicians interested in obtaining a complete set of analytical tools for integrating structure and control design for structures that are efficient in both material mass and control energy. The workshop topics include vibration isolation problems and large shape changes such as deployment and robotic motions.

[CANCELLED] MT-2: Recent Advances in Subspace System Identification: Linear, Nonlinear, Closed-loop and Optimal with Applications
W. E. Larimore (Adaptics)
This workshop presents a first principles development of subspace system identification (ID) using a fundamental statistical approach. This includes basic concepts of reduced rank modeling of ill-conditioned data to obtain the most appropriate statistical model structure and order using optimal maximum likelihood methods.

[CANCELLED] MT-3: Engineering Applications in Genomics
A. Datta (Texas A & M), R. Pal (Texas Tech)
This workshop will provide a tutorial introduction to the current engineering research in genomics. The necessary Molecular Biology background will be presented and techniques from signal processing and control will be used to unearth intergene relationships, to carry out gene based classification of disease, to model genetic regulatory networks, and to alter and control their dynamic behavior. The first day will focus on molecular biology background, and the second day will discuss approaches to challenging research problems that arise in genomics related research.

One-Day Workshops:
[CANCELLED] M1: Fractional Calculus in Controls and Signal Processing
YangQuan Chen (Utah State U.), Dingyii Xue (Northeastern U, PRC)
Many real dynamic systems are better characterized using a non-integer order dynamic model based on fractional calculus or, differentiation or integration of non-integer order. Traditional calculus is based on integer order differentiation and integration. The concept of fractional calculus has tremendous potential to change the way we see, model, and control the nature around us. Denying fractional derivatives is like saying that zero, fractional, or irrational numbers do not exist. This workshop presents fractional order control and signal processing techniques.

M-2: Optimal Control of Switching/Hybrid Systems with Applications to Hybrid Electric Vehicles, Dc-Dc Converters, and Autonomous Mobile Robots
R. A. DeCarlo (Purdue), S. Pekarek (Purdue), and M. Zefran (U. Illinois-Chicago)
This workshop presents recent theoretical results on hybrid/switched optimal control problem, the associated numerical solution methodologies, the resulting novel framework for the model predictive control of such systems, and applications to the power management problem for hybrid electric vehicles, switching control in dc-dc converters, and control of autonomous mobile robots.

M-3: Real-time Optimization and Extremum-Seeking Control
M. Guay (Queens Univ), B. Srinivasan (Ecole Polytechnique), M. Perrier (Ecole Polytechnique)
In this workshop, the integrated design of RTO and control systems as a model-based adaptive extremum- seeking control (AESC) task is formulated. The thrust is to integrate competing tasks by using the objective function of the AESC system to formulate a suitable Lyapunov function for the control system. The workshop also will provide a comprehensive introduction to leading solutions of the AESC problem.

T1: Quantitative Local Analysis of Nonlinear Systems Using Nonlinear Sum-Of-Squares Decompositions
A. K. Packard (UC Berkeley), G. J. Balas (U. Minn.), P. Seiler (Honeywell Lab), U. Topcu (UC Berkeley)
The focus of this workshop is computational tools to derive quantitative bounds on the behavior of uncertain, nonlinear dynamical systems. The target audience includes graduate students and researchers interested in computational methods for provable, quantitative assessment of nonlinear system behavior, including flight control, adaptive systems and system biology.

T2: Control System Perspectives On Stock Market Trading
J. Primbs (Stanford U.) and B. R. Barmish (U. Wisconsin)
This workshop presents control theory concepts and tools that can be used in stock and option trading, and introduces and formulates new finance related research topics. While introducing the requisite mathematical tools, the speakers will provide a number of case studies to demonstrate application of various trading algorithms, portfolio balancing techniques and the use of both technical and fundamental analysis. The workshop will include formulation of a number of exciting research problems for the control field.

T-3: Model Predictive Control: Design and Implementation Using MATLAB
L. Wang (RMIT, Australia)
This workshop gives an introduction to model predictive control, and recent developments in design and implementation. The course will systematically cover topics in optimization, receding horizon control, MPC design, constrained control, tuning of predictive control, and real-time simulation and implementation in MATLAB /SIMULINK.
