This IFAC Symposium on Robust Control Design is the 5th of the series, following Rio de Janeiro (1994), Budapest (1997), Prague (2000) and Milan (2003). It will take place in the ancient tobacco factory (manufacture des tabacs), in the historical center of Toulouse.
SCOPE
The field of robust control provides the theoretical principles and the numerical tools used to design engineering control systems that give adequate performance within an uncertain environment. Robust control theory is built on applied mathematics, operations research
(optimization) and computer science (complexity and algorithm theory). Deeply rooted in rigorous mathematics, the aim of robust control is to develop theoretical and computational tools for versatile practical applications ranging from guidance and control of aerospace systems, control systems for the manufacturing industries, and control of communication systems. The symposium aims at bringing together experts from control theory (applied mathematics, convex
optimization) and applied control engineering (aerospace,
biotechnologies) to discuss the state-of-the-art in robust control.
