3rd Biennial Regional Meeting on Nonlinear Control and its Applications  May 8-9, 2008, Waterloo, Ontario

Since 2004 a tradition has been established to hold in Eastern Ontario a regional meeting on nonlinear control theory and its applications every two years.  The previous two meetings (hosted by Andrew Lewis at Queen's (2004) and Manfredi Maggiore in Toronto (2006)) have established this series as a valuable forum for interaction among local colleagues.  The theme of nonlinear control is interpreted rather broadly, leading to presentations on a wide variety of theoretical and practical aspects of control.
