The main aim of the workshop is to bridge the control community dealing
with networked systems and coordinated control of agents groups, with physical
networks research areas as car traffic, telecommunications, irrigation channels
etc. The common ground is in modeling appropriately the network and focusing on
centralized or distributed control algorithms for the obtained networked system.
Thus we will have presentations dealing with cooperative control with limited
information flow, as for instance multi-agent systems or networks of robots or
vehicles. Another thematic will be that of modeling of animal aggregations. At
the same time, some presentations will be devoted to flows on networks, in particular
focusing on irrigation channels and car traffic. In both cases some control need
shows up, where the possiblity of control is at nodes as it happens for coordinated
agents groups.
Together with the workshop, there will be a special issue
of the Journal Networks
and Heterogeneous Media. The call for papers for this special issue can be
