IEEE CASE 2019 Workshop on

Frontiers in Control and Smart Automation: Robotics, Energy, and Education

The goal of this workshop is to (1) communicate to the audience recent advances in the fields of control and smart automation, particularly in the application areas of robotics and energy systems, and (2) foster discussion and exchange of ideas among researchers in the above areas. We also dedicate a portion of this workshop on recent initiatives in robotic and automation education. We compose a presentation lineup that balances theoretical topics (control theory, formal methods), application areas (robotics, microfabrication, energy and building systems), and educational initiatives.

This workshop is organized in the honor of Professor John Wen, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. In his research career, Professor Wen has made significant contributions in the fields of control and automation. His impacts can be measured not only in the number of scientific awards, publications, and citations, but also in the young researchers that he mentored and trained. In addition to the goals outlined in the first paragraph above, this workshop will also bring together Professor Wen’s scientific collaborators, colleagues, and mentees.
