Mathematical Systems Theory (for students), Germany, Mar 2010

The second
ELGERSBURG SCHOOL on MATHEMATICAL SYSTEMS THEORY
will take place in Elgersburg (Germany) from March 8 - 13, 2010

The lecturers and their topics are
Volker Mehrmann (TU Berlin): Differential-Algebraic Equations -
Control and Numerics and Jan C. Willems (KU Leuven, Belgien): Behavioural Approach to Systems Theory

The school is addressed to PhD students in control, either in mathematics or engineering, and also to very good undergraduates. We would be grateful if you could pass on this information to any potential candidates.

We will organize a summer school in mathematical systems theory also in the forthcoming years on "hot" topics in control.

The location has a capacity for 40 students. The cost for the hotel including full board is EUR 510,- for a single and EUR 400,- for a double room. We can provide travel cost and subsistence for 15 students. If they apply, they are asked to provide their CV and a letter of reference from their supervisor. The deadline for applications is December 15, 2009. The organizers will then rank the applications according to excellence and suitability. A list of all participants will be available on the web site by the mid of January, 2010.
