Hangzhou is located on the low reaches of Qiantang river in southeast China, with a distance of 180 kilometers to Shanghai.
It is one of the key cities in the Yangzi Delta area. It is just 1 hour by high-speed railway from Shanghai, and 5 hours from
Beijing, the capital city of China. Hangzhou is one of the important tourism cities in China, famous for its natural beauty andhistorical and cultural heritages. It is of subtropical monsoon climate, with distinctive four seasons and mild atmosphere andfavorable geographical positions and natural conditions.
Hangzhou’s history goes back over 2,200 years to the Qin Dynasty which first brought in the rule of County System. Again,
the local Liangzhu Culture that emerged 3,000 years later comes to be known as the Dawn of Civilization. Marco Polo, theItalian traveler of the 13th century, lauded Hangzhou as the world’s most magnificent and noble city. For its abundance ofscenic attractions like the West Lake, the Xixi Wetland, the Grand Canal and the Qiantang River, Hangzhou is among the mostcoveted tourist destinations in the world. China’s most popular love stories such as ‘The Legend of the White Snake’ and‘Butterfly Lovers’ both originated in Hangzhou. Both the West Lake and the Grand Canal are now UNESCO World Heritage
Sites.
Hangzhou is otherwise recognized as the Capital of E-commerce, the Top Ten Innovative Cities of China, the Top Ten
Vibrant Cities of China, the Top Ten Low-carbon Cities of China, the Most Accomplished City in People’s Well-being
Improvement, and the Best Image Friendly City. Alibaba Group, the world’s biggest online B2B business, and Geely which
acquired Volvo, are both headquartered in Hangzhou. G20 summit was held on 4th-5th September, 2016 in Hangzhou.

Positive Systems, whose states and outputs are always conﬁned within the ﬁrst
orthant of the state space when driven by nonnegative initial conditions and/or
inputs, are often encountered in systems biology, pharmacokinetics, disease
dynamics, and population evolution. They have long captured the attention ofresearchers in the ﬁelds of systems theory and applied mathematics, not only due tothe elegant results that have been obtained for this class of dynamic systems, butalso their numerous applications in the physical world.
As a continuation of the spirit of previous POSTA conferences, POSTA2018(The 6th International Conference on Positive Systems) aims to provide a forum forscientists and engineers over the world to present their new theoretical results andtechniques in the ﬁeld of systems that exhibit positivity. It also fosters young
researchers through interacting and exchanging ideas with world-class researchers
in this expanding ﬁeld. Following the success of previous editions of the POSTA
conferences held in Rome, Italy (2003), Grenoble, France (2006), Valencia, Spain(2009), Maynooth, Ireland (2012), and Rome, Italy (2016), we are honoured to host
POSTA2018 outside Europe for the ﬁrst time. The hosting of POSTA2018 inHangzhou, China, represents a milestone of the development of the POSTA conference series. It is a natural evolution resulting from the surge of interest in positive
systems in Asia seen in the past few years.
This book has collected a number of articles presented in POSTA2018 with
topics covering, just to name of a few, compartmental switched systems, Markovian
jump systems, Boolean networks, and positive delay systems. We trust that thetheoretical insights and technical developments presented in these research articles
will help advance the research activities in the ﬁeld of positive systems for years to
come.
Here, we take this opportunity to thank the International Program Committee for
conducting the paper reviewing process in a rigorous way. In particular, we thankthe main sponsor and the local host of the conference, Hangzhou Dianzi University,
for their generous support of the activity. We would also like to thank the three
Plenary Speakers, Profs. Frédéric Mazenc, Daizhan Cheng, and Yoshio Ebihara, fortheir interesting and inspiring lectures. A special word of thanks also goes to Profs.
