The European network on "Nonlinear and Adaptive Control: Towards a Design
Methodology for Physical Systems", of the Human Capital and Mobility
Program  invites to

                 WORKSHOP ON NONLINEAR AND ADAPTIVE CONTROL
                   Laboratoire d'Automatique de Grenoble
                            INPG . ENSIEG . CNRS
                          SEPTEMBER  16 - 17,  1996
                              Grenoble, France

Organized by:
C. Canudas de Wit, R. Lozano and B. Brogliato

LOCATION:
E.N.S. d'Ingenieurs Electriciens de Grenoble
Domaine Universitaire
Rue de la Houille Blanche
38402  -  Saint-Martin-d'Heres - France

AIM OF THE WORKSHOP
The objective of this two-day workshop  is to present a state of the art of
the nonlinear and adaptive  control techniques via a set of tutorial
conferences, and to present contributions from the collaboration resulting
from the Capital and Mobility European network on " Nonlinear and Adaptive
Control: Towards a design Methodology for Physical Systems". Tutorial
conferences will be presented by experts in the area.

Attendees will get a good understanding on existing methods for designing
nonlinear controllers as well as information about some techniques tested
in practice.

POTENTIAL ATENDEES
This workshop is particularly intended for:
* PhD students wishing to learn about nonlinear and adaptive control
  techniques.
* Researchers and Professors wishing to acquire an expertise, or to
  up-date their information for future research or teaching. Two of the
  tutorial lecturers  are authors of recent books used for research and
  education.
* Engineers from industry dealing with nonlinear and physical systems
