Aims and scopes

The workshop has two major objectives: training young researchers and future scientific leaders in the field of control theory for finite-dimensional systems, and bringing together leading experts in the neighboring areas of optimal control, games and their numerical treatment, to exchange ideas and compare results. In order to reach these objectives, the workshop will gather participants with knowledge and expertise in complementary areas of mathematics and engineering. The areas of interests include optimal control, differential games, Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations, feedback control, model predictive control, max-plus algebra with a particular emphasis on numerical methods and algorithms.
All the activities will be hosted at the INDAM lecture room (1st floor of the Math Department).

Travel

Rome is a classic touristic destination so all the air company fly to Rome Fiumicino or Rome Ciampino (low cost) airports.
From both airport there are several ways to reach the campus, mainly a bus service or a train service.

Accommodation and tourist informations

We have made a pre-booking at special rates for the workshop participants. The hotel list is below, they are all at walking distance from the Math Department inside the campus. All the hotels give free access to the WiFi.
Participants can use the special rates giving the code NUMOC2017 when they book their room directly to the hotel before March 30.
You will be requested to pay for your room on-site.

Proceedings of the workshop

The volume will be published in the Springer INDAM series, a special series devoted to INDAM workshops and conferences. More information can be found here http://www.springer.com/series/10283

All the papers should be submitted by October 15, sending the pdf version to numoc2017@mat.uniroma1.it

The Latex template can be found here https://www.springer.com/it/authors-editors/book-authors-editors/manuscript-preparation/5636 (you should use the Contributed books template)

All the papers are subject to a refereeing process that (hopefully) will last 2 months. So a first answer should arrive around Christmas time.
The referee process for the second submission should end by April 30.

The total number of pages should stay strictly below 25 pages. We have obtained from Springer the consent to publish some color figures if this will improve the comprehension of the articles. Clearly the number of color figures should be kept to a minimum.
