Emerging Areas Panel Discussion

Control systems and automation have a rich heritage of significant accomplishments. What will become the future significant contributions? Tomorrow's applications will probably require more autonomous, higher performance, increased efficiency, and lower cost solutions. Future control methodologies and implementations must become more powerful, but what will enable these improvements?

The IFAC Technical Board will hold a working session in conjunction with SYSID to address these challenges and attempt to identify the major emerging trends for our field. Participants in the session will be IFAC Technical Board members and special invited guests from appropriate Industry sectors. The results of the working session will be presented in a Panel Presentation on Tuesday evening, August 26. All SYSID participants are invited to this presentation.
