Abstract

The MSC 2012 was the first conference in Croatia sponsored by the IEEE CSS. Overall, 375 contributed and invited session papers from 47 countries on 6 continents were received. After peer-to-peer review process, the conference Program Chairs Ji Feng Zhang and Eric Rogers have created the Technical Program containing a total of 282 papers. The preconference day was dedicated to workshops – Workshop on Control Design for Energy Efficient Buildings, organized by Sunil Ahuja, Veronica Adetola, Draguna Vrabie, Workshop on Systems and Synthetic Biology, organized by Graziano Chesi and Workshop on Randomization and Averaging in Estimation, Optimization and Control, organized by Oleg Granichin and Alexander Fradkov. Particularly successful was the Workshop for Middle and High School Students and Teachers, organized by Bozenna Pasik-Duncan. During the workshop, the students and teachers, helped by PhD students volunteers, had an excellent opportunity for getting hands-on experience on the robotics & control equipment provided by the ACROSS – Center for Research Excellence for Advanced Cooperative Systems and LARICS – Laboratory for Robotics and Intelligent Control Systems, both affiliated with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb. As the part of the conference program, four plenary talks on the state-of-the-art research topics were delivered – “Control of Molecular Purity, Crystal Structure, and Particle Size Distribution in Pharmaceutical Crystallization” by Richard D. Braatz, “Bio-inspired Flying Robots” by Dario Floreano, “Adaptive Learning Structures for Real-Time Optimal Control and Graphical Games” by Frank L. Lewis, and “Predicting Epileptic Episodes? A Systems & Information Theoretic Approach” by Iven Mareels. Prof. Dario Floreano delivers his keynote talk
