Symposium on Control Problems in Industry ===================================================================== Symposium on Control Problems in Industry Holiday Inn by the Bay July 22-23, 1994 San Diego, CA ===================================================================== This symposium will focus on industrial control applications that have benefited from recent mathematical and technological developments. The presentations have been selected primarily for the practical significance of the problems solved, though all have significant mathematical content. They are a good sample of current work in industrial control, with emphasis on real-world payoff. The speakers come from industry and academia, and they will cover a broad range of applications, including applications from the automotive, aerospace, chemical, electronics industries and applications in optics, process control and image processing. Anyone who values useful mathematics will find much of interest in this symposium. The symposium is being conducted by SIAM with the cooperation of the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA). ===================================================================== SUBMISSION DEADLINES The deadline for reception of contributed papers at SIAM is April 22, 1994. ====================================================================== SYMPOSIUM THEMES The symposium will focus on the following applications and methods. - Applications of control techniques in - the aerospace industry - the automotive industry - the environmental sciences - manufacturing processes - the petroleum industry - Optimal shape design in aerospace applications. - Optimal design of micro-optics. - Robust control and H-infinity methods. ===================================================================== ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Irena Lasiecka (chair) University of Virginia Blaise Morton Honeywell Corporation, Minneapolis Jacques Henry INRIA ===================================================================== INVITED PRESENTATIONS There will be four 40 minute invited presentations in the morning and four in the afternoon. In addition, a limited number of contributed presentations are expected.
