Second International Workshop on INTELLIGENT CONTROL
[ONE OF EIGHT TRACKS UNDER JCIS'98]Oct.23-28,1998
Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Convention Center,RTP,N.C.,USA
 
Santa Fe Institute,the nerve center of a think tank consisting
of prominent scientists,has identified complexity,adaptation,and
upheavals at the edge of chaos. NSF and other US research agencies
are pushing for learning,adaptive,intelligence ,knowledge and
distributed information.Indeed,a very exciting period of dynamic
systems research is ahead of us! The task of designing intelligent
control systems must be looked at from the systems integrating
point of view.
The4 evolution of classical and modern control has brought many 
challenges for control engineers in solving the peocessing problems
of intelligent and complex systems.The emergence of the powerful
computational intelligence tools of fuzzy logic,neural networks,
AI,genetic algorithms and pattern recognition;all biologically 
inspired;have matured enough during the past decade for control
engineers to begin to think about the architecture,functioning and
basic characteristics of an intelligent control system!This workshop
recognizes an urgently needed forum for public discussion and debate
of these important issues.
 
The keynote and plenary speakers include:
Panos J.Antsaklis ,John Baillieul ,Stephen Grossberg ,Yu Chi Ho ,
Lotfi A.Zadeh ,Julius T.Tou ,Jim Albus,...Please refer to:
