DATES: 14-15 September, 2012

VENUE: Santa Barbara, California

 

SUBMISSION AND REGISTRATION DATES

. Papers submission deadline: April 20, 2012 . Notice of acceptance: June 14, 2012 . Final version due: July 15, 2012 . Early registration deadline: July 15, 2012

CONTEXT and SCOPE

Networked systems are complex dynamical systems composed of a large number of simple systems interacting through a communication medium. These systems arise as natural models in many areas of engineering and sciences, such as sensor networks, autonomous unmanned vehicles, biological networks, and animal cooperative aggregation and flocking.

 

 

THEMATIC AREAS

. Coordinated control and estimation over networks . Multivehicle systems, flocking, and consensus . Control under communication constraints . Decentralized algorithms for computation over sensor networks . Randomized, gossip, and message passing algorithms. Belief propagation . Graph models for networks. Percolation. Network coding . Distributed and decentralized signal processing . Distributed and cooperative optimization . Cooperation in the presence of adversaries, networked games . Robust coordination under malicious attacks

 

WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION

The workshop will be single track and will consist of two days of research presentations and poster sessions. The research presentations will be 10 invited talks by international experts and 4 interactive sessions of contributed papers (2 per day). The poster/interactive sections will not be in parallel with invited talks. The invited oral presentations will be of tutorial nature and the contributed papers will be organized in interactive poster sessions with limited number of contributions and with ample reserved time slots, thus hopefully stimulating discussions and promoting ideas exchanges.
