Third International Conference on Advances in Control and Optimization of Dynamical Systems, March 13-15, 2014

The ACODS is a biennial conference held in India that brings together an international community of researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and research labs to disseminate new developments and advances in control and optimization of dynamical systems.  The theme of the conference is broad enough to encompass both theory and applications. Application areas include, but are not restricted to robotics, aerospace vehicles, power systems, manufacturing, process control, computer aided control, biomedical engineering, automation, and mechanical and electrical systems.  This conference will also cover many emerging applications such as cooperative robotics, power grids, sensor networks, networked robotics and many other multi-agent systems that will require advanced treatments in terms of control architecture, stability analysis, control strategies, communication and coordination.  Papers are invited in these and other areas where control and optimization of dynamical systems plays an important role. The conference will have several special sessions that will include biological systems and chaotic dynamical systems.

Location ACODS 2014 will be held at IIT Kanpur. Kanpur is a historical city situated at the bank of river Ganges which was popularly known as Manchester of India during the British Rule. Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, one of the best premier technical institutes in India, is engaged in carrying out original research of significance and technology development at the cutting edge. It imparts training to students so that they become competent and motivated engineers and scientists. The Institute celebrates freedom of thought, cultivates vision and encourages growth, but also inculcates human values and concern for the environment and the society. IIT Kanpur Campus is known for her lush-green environment endowed with peace and tranquillity.     Many places of interests such as Taj Mahal (Agra), Khajuraho, Vanaras and Orchha are very close to the city of Kanpur. Even places such as Kulu, Manali, Dharmashala, Haridwar and Rishikesh are also easily reachable from Kanpur.

Topics of Interest ACODS 2014 areas of interest traditionally include a wide range of topics in control systems, optimization and its applications. Potential topics of this conference include: Adaptive Control Automotive Control Biological Systems and Control Complex Systems Control Applications in Aero-space, Power, Electrical Engg, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biology Distributed Systems Delay Systems Estimation Evolutionary Control Evolutionary Robotics Fault Detection Filtering Fuzzy and Neural Systems Intelligent Systems and Control Linear Systems Theory Model Predictive Control Multi-agent Systems Nonlinear Systems and Control Networked Control Optimal Control Process Automation Process Control and Instrumentation Robotics and Control Robust Control   Stochastic Control Systems Modeling and Identification  Soft Computing Applications in Control and Optimization
