Aims & Scope

SSSC Topics 

In keeping with tradition, the Symposium SSC 2025 will feature both methodological contributions and application-oriented contributions. The theoretical topics will concern linear systems, time-varying systems, switching linear systems, impulsive systems, multidimensional systems, input-constrained systems, uncertain systems, positive systems, descriptor systems, complex systems, functional systems, fractional-order systems, and network dynamics. The problems addressed will include decoupling, decentralized control, regulation, disturbance rejection, model matching, model reduction, output feedback control, observation, stability and stabilization, linearization-based control of nonlinear systems, robust control, diagnosis, and fault tolerant control. Application-oriented domains will encompass automotive systems, aerospace, biological systems, biology, biotechnology, biomedical applications, chemical processes, energy and nuclear systems, mechanical systems, mechatronics, network-controlled systems, power systems, process control, robotics, transportation systems, vibration control, diversity and inclusion in control, control education and related fields. As a novelty of this edition, the scope of SSSC is extended to highlight the rich connections between control theory and artificial intelligence. This interface is expected to provide fruitful and promising new research directions. Contributions at the cross-section of these areas will be encouraged, and experts will be actively involved in the conference program as authors, speakers, and organizers of thematic sessions. Further, since it is a special commitment to encourage young talents’ participation, innovative topics like this are expected to enhance the attractiveness of the symposium for the next generation of control scientists.

TDS Topics 

The workshop TDS 2025 technical program will include contributed and invited papers as well as abstract submission, tutorial sessions, and workshops focusing on theoretical advances and technological applications of systems and control related to time delay systems. This focus includes but is not limited to modeling and identification, analysis, filtering and estimation, stability and stabilization, safety, structural properties, robustness, approximation techniques and numerical methods, data-driven and machine-learning methods, control schemes and application in process control, vibration control, networked systems, autonomous agents, communications, bio-engineering, economics, social systems, and other fields. Particularly welcomed is the latest progress in emerging problem areas such as cyber-physical systems, artificial intelligence, and cloud-based control, and in emerging applications such as smart grid, biomedical systems, intelligent transportation, intelligent manufacturing, and automation.

COSY Topics

The main focus of the workshop COSY 2025  is on the study of structural properties of systems which consist of the interconnection of a number of subsystems and which are characterized by complexity due to one or more of the following features: uncertainty or lack of knowledge about the system dynamics; perturbations, disturbances and changes of the external demand; uncertainty or variability of the interconnection topology; hybrid or heterogeneous nature of the involved sub-processes; structural adaptation to moving goals and operational requirements; uncertain or variable environment; large dimensionality; constrained variables and communication constraints. Examples of complex systems in the above sense are structure-evolving systems, switching systems, impulsive systems, networks of agents, and, more generally, systems of systems and cyber-physical systems. Applications are found in the modeling and control of natural processes (e.g., in biology and genetics), social sciences dynamics (e.g., in community networks studies), and man-made processes (e.g., in engineering design, manufacturing, networks and communications, power distribution, management).
