Smart cities and societies: a Control Perspective
A workshop in honor of Kameshwar Poolla's 65th birthday
The workshop “Smart Cities and Societies: A Control Perspective”, hosted in the iconic Ca' Tron Palace at Iuav, aims to provide a framework for reflecting on the past, present, and future role of control theory and systems engineering in the development of smart cities and smart societies.
Featuring invited talks from leading researchers, the workshop will combine recent theoretical advances with a tutorial-oriented perspective on key methodologies such as distributed optimization, distributed control, game theory, and networked systems. Particular emphasis will be placed on their application to emerging large-scale socio-technical systems.
Relevant application domains include cyber-physical systems, intelligent transportation networks, smart energy systems, urban infrastructures, swarm robotics, and social and socio-technical networks.
The workshop will bring together a carefully selected group of speakers whose innovative research spans these interconnected areas. Their contributions will provide new perspectives on how control theory can contribute to the design, analysis, and governance of complex urban systems.
By fostering discussion across disciplinary boundaries, the workshop aims to promote the cross-fertilization of ideas and to stimulate dialogue on emerging research directions and open challenges in the control of complex systems underpinning future smart cities and societies.
