Control theory is, by its nature, an interdisciplinary field with wide and varied applications. The conference structure will encourage interaction and the sharing of ideas and problems among the various participants. Who Should Attend The conference will bring together mathematicians, engineers, and scientists -- from academia, industry and government -- who are engaged in control and systems theory, research and applications. Conference Themes The major themes of the conference include: o Control of Large, Heterogeneous Computer Networks o Control in Dynamics and Mechanics o Convex Optimization in Control and Systems Theory o Control and Identification of Distributed Parameter Systems o Stochastic Control, Filtering and Estimation o Adaptive Control o Hybrid Event Systems o Discrete Event Systems o Robust Control o Industrial and Aerospace Applications o Nonlinear Systems o Dynamic Programming o Computational and Algorithmic Methods in Control o Control of Fluids Organizing Committee John B.

A poster presentation consists of the use of visual aids, such as 8-1/2" x 11" sheets, mounted on a 4' x 6' poster board. Poster boards will be available at the conference. A poster session is two hours long. Each contributor must submit a title and a brief abstract not exceeding seventy five words. Plain TeX or LaTeX macros are available for submitting abstracts electronically. Contact SIAM at meetings@siam.org. The organizing committee reserves the right to limit the number of contributed presentations a single speaker may present. Deadline for submission of contributed abstracts: October 7, 1994. Minisymposia A minisymposium consists of four 25-minute presentations with an additional five minutes for discussion. Prospective minisymposium organizers are asked to submit a proposal consisting of a title, a description (not exceeding one-hundred words), and a list of speakers and titles of their presentations. Each minisymposium speaker must submit a 75-word abstract. To obtain a minisymposium proposal form, instructions and abstract forms, please complete and return the form below to meetings@siam.org.
