As always, these talks are free, open to the public and broadcast live on-line at mms://media.citris.berkeley.edu/webcast the day and time of the event, and questions can be sent remotely to Yahoo IM: citrisevents.

Increases in fast and inexpensive computing and communications have enabled a new generation information-rich control systems that rely on multi-threaded networked execution, distributed optimization, adaptation and learning, and contingency management in increasingly sophisticated ways. This talk will describe a framework for building such systems and lay out some of the challenges to control theory that must be addressed to enable systematic design and analysis. Applications include multi-vehicle systems performing cooperative tasks and autonomous systems with high-performance, distributed processing.
