Control and Systems Theory

The SIAM Activity Group on Control and Systems Theory fosters collaboration and interaction among mathematicians, engineers, and other scientists in those areas of research related to the theory of systems and their control. It seeks to promote the development of theory and methods related to modeling, control, estimation, and approximation of complex biological, physical, and engineering systems. The SIAG organizes a biennial conference, sponsors minisymposia at SIAM meetings and periodic conferences, publishes a newsletter quarterly, maintains an electronic discussion group, and awards a prize every two years to a young researcher for outstanding research contributions to mathematical control or systems theory.
