Delft: Celebration 25 year existence of DISC education
Thursday, 10 January 2013

The Dutch Institute of Systems and Control (DISC) is one of the oldest national research schools in the Netherlands. It is the immediate successor of the Dutch Network of Systems and Control, which started 1987 with national PhD courses in systems and control. Since its inception it has offered an extensive and internationally acclaimed course program to PhD students in systems and control.
DISC is marking its 25 year of existence with the appearance of a book about its history. In Delft this will be celebrated on February 7 with a reception, where the book will presented by the scientific director of DISC to the Rector Magnificus, Karel Luyben, dean of the 3mE faculty, Theun Baller and, of course, to the joint systems and control groups of DCSC, DIAM and AE.

 
In Memoriam Okko Bosgra (1944-2013)
Saturday, 23 February 2013

bosgra.jpgThe sad news has reached us that on Thursday February 21, 2013 Professor Okko Bosgra
passed away in his hometown Waddinxveen.

Okko Bosgra was one of the founders of our national systems and control theory network, and a former scientific director of DISC in the years 2000-2005. Through his role of bringing together mathematical systems theory and control engineering, he has had a key role in establishing a strong national network community with international recognition.

We remember Okko as a passionate and inspiring scientist, a visionary director, and a amicable colleague and friend. Our thoughts are with his wife, children and grand-children.

See the In Memoriam, for people who would like to respond there is an electronic condoleance register available at www.bosgra.co.uk

A central PhD program is provided for PhD students in systems and control. It consists of a course programme offered in Utrecht, international summer schools and a yearly three-day Benelux Meeting. Since its start in 1987 this PhD program has become a cornerstone of the cooperation among the dutch academic community in this field.

Controlling the positioning and motion of objects with high speed and ultra-high precision (up to nanometers) is crucial in storage equipment as dvd’s, hard disk drives, in IC manufacturing and in scientific imaging instruments as AFM’s. Without feedback control this technology would not exist.

Industrial production processes in (petro)chemical, food and energy industry are dependent on appropriate control technology for designing operations that are economically efficient, safe, with optimal usage of resources and minimal environmental load. Model-based control technology provides the tools for achieving this.

Future automotive systems will show vehicles where comfort and driving conditions are highly automated while they are intelligently supervised to keep optimal distance and to optimize route planning. In this development distributed sensing and control is a key technology.

Guidance and navigation of airplanes and spacecrafts highly depends on automatic control systems. This dependency is even more pronounced when steering unmanned vehicles, e.g. for inspection tasks, or controlling (micro) sattelite formations in space. Aerospace applications have been important drivers for developing advanced and robustly operating control systems.
