Scope
Since 1990, DISC has successfully organized yearly summer schools on various topics pertinent to theoretical and practical aspects of systems and control, with an international audience of about 40-60 participants. Together with the graduate course program that is maintained by DISC, the summer schools form part of the educational facilities that DISC offers to PhD students in systems theory and control engineering. The main goal of the summer schools is to familiarize young researchers with recent developments in systems and control as well as in neighboring disciplines, and to provide them with the opportunity to enjoy, in an informal atmosphere, discussions with top researchers in systems and control. The summer schools also provide an opportunity for disc staff members and others to upgrade their knowledge of specific areas of interest.
Optimization has always been a core ingredient in the synthesis of control systems and in solving design questions related to applications in various engineering disciplines. Many challenges in control and engineering translate to fundamental questions in optimization and their solutions depend on the availability of reliable techniques in optimization. This summer school focuses on topics that are relevant to optimization in control theory:
