The aim of the course is to bring together researchers and doctorate students that work in systems and control engineering so as to give them the opportunity to have a knowledge of the method of intervals and to stimulate discussion of relevant problems and fertile lines of future research. The past two decades have witnessed steadily increasing recognition and appreciation of Interval Analysis in solving problems in systems and control engineering. For instance, problems like analysis and synthesis of robust controllers for uncertain plants or fuzzy interference have been stated from the interval point of view. Recent developments have generated a great deal of interests in emerging tools aimed at exploiting qualitative, semiqualitative and interval simulation and their application to fault detection and diagnosis and to system identification. The participation fee will be 15000 Spanish pesetas.
Advanced registration is highly recommended.
