10D02 DPS: Theory, Reduction, Control, and Computational Methods
OverviewPapers are solicited describing recent advances on simulation, control, identification, model reduction and optimisation of distributed parameter systems (DPS). Papers demonstrating new theoretical concepts and computational approaches to the control of DPS are highly encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, model reduction techniques, advanced discretization methods, passivity-based control, multi-scale modelling and control, and novel techniques for optimization of distributed parameter systems.
