A block of rooms has been reserved at the Whitehall hotel, a short walk from the conference venue.

Context and Scope

Networked Systems and complex dynamical systems are composed of a large number of simple systems interacting through a communication medium. These systems arise as natural models in many areas of engineering and sciences, such as sensor networks, autonomous, unmanned vehicles, power networks, biological networks, and animal cooperative aggregation.

The workshop will focus on the most innovative mathematical methods proposed in the last few years for the analysis and design of networked systems. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from control, computer science, communication, game theory, statistics, mathematics and other areas to discuss emerging topics in networked systems of common interest.

Topics

Multi-agent systems
Control under communication constraints
Consensus and gossip algorithms
Decentralized and cooperative control/estimation
Distributed optimization and MPC
Cyber security in networked control systems
Event-triggered and self-triggered control
Wireless sensing and control systems
Graph-based methods for networked systems
Cooperation in the presence of adversaries
Networked games

Workshop Organization: Plenaries and Interactive Sessions

The workshop will be single track and will feature plenary presentations and interactive poster sessions of contributed papers.
