Introduction

Welcome to the SysCon diamond jubilee workshop "Current trends and Future directions in Control"

In this workshop we will share most exciting and cutting edge research in the area of control, both theory and applications.

Lectures will be held on 16-17 Jan in the VMCC lecture complex. Room 22. See the program below.

Accomodation for the invited speakers has been arranged in the Van-Vihar guest house for the nights of 15-17 Jan. The speakers will have all their meals in visitor guest-house.

The participants can simply take a taxi from the airport to IIT, Powai, Van-Vihar guest house. The return taxi can be arranged at the guest house. The fare will be reimbursed.

If you want us to arrange a pick up and drop off at the airport please email to
