TRANSCRIPT
First Announcement and Call for Papers
Hosting Institution: Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María - UTFSM, Valparaíso, Chile Sponsored by: IFAC International Federation of Automatic Control, IFAC TC Nonlinear Control Systems Co-sponsored by: IFAC TC Distributed Parameter Systems, IFAC TC Control Design, IEEE CSS TC on DPS
Scope: Recent technological progresses in material science, actuators, and sensors as well as in real-time computing have induced the necessity of accounting for nonlinear and distributed parameters phenomena in the design of the nonlinear control, sometimes including the design of the plant. A very efficient design method, based on the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of physical systems’ dynamics, has been increasingly developed and used in the last years. These formulations allow to combine the powerful design methods using passivity-based control with the specific properties of the differential-geometric structure of the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. The application areas include robotics, tele-manipulation and power systems where developments concerning control systems interacting through a communication network are important. Recent developments have shown that generalization of the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian frameworks can be used for distributed parameter systems with applications in fluid systems and fluid-structure interactions, as well as irreversible thermodynamical systems with applications to chemical and biological processes and smart materials.
Topics: This workshop will cover new developments in modelling nonlinear distributed parameters control theory and applications that have been recently developed to take advantage of and to exploit the mathematical structures common to the multi-physical systems. The workshop program will include both regular papers and posters. The format of the workshop will encourage in-depth and fruitful discussion between all the participants. Location: The workshop will be held at Universidad Técnica Federico Santa Maria (www.usm.cl) in Valparaiso, one of the most prestigious engineering universities of Latin America. Built upon dozens of steep hillsides overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Valparaiso,
also known as the Jewel of the Pacific, boasts a labyrinth of graffiti filled streets and cobblestone alleyways, embodying a rich architectural and cultural legacy and hosting one of Pablo Neruda’s houses. Valparaiso's historic quarter is an UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2003, thanks to its historical importance, natural beauty and unique architecture. Important dates: Submission of draft papers, invited sessions proposal, and abstracts for poster session: October 31, 2017 Author notification: January 14, 2018
Final paper due: February 28, 2018 For more information: www.lhmnlc18.org
