Cross-Disciplinary Research and the Role of Industry

Bob Barmish, John Barras, Lennart Ljung, Richard Murray, Mike Grimble

2003 Conference on Decision and Control 8 December 2003 Honolulu, Hawaii

Purpose

The purpose of this workshop is to explore mechanisms for cross-disciplinary research in the control community, particularly the interaction with industry. Modern control involves the development and implementation of a wide variety of very complex engineering systems and the control community has been a major source of training for people who embrace a systems perspective. All modern systems design is done in interdisciplinary teams and it requires certain skills to understand how to effectively interact with domain experts from a wide variety of disciplines. Industry plays a key role in the community in this regard, providing both the success stories of how to integrate interdisciplinary teams and opportunities for students and faculty in universities to interact with such teams.

This free workshop is sponsored by NSF and open to all conference attendees.
