Call for participation – small workshop on the interface of statistical mechanics and control theory

On september 12-16 2012, we are organizing a unique small workshop on the interface of statistical mechanics and control theory. In this meeting, we explore links between robotics, stochastic optimal control, non-equilibrium systems, large deviations and stochastic descriptions of quantum mechanics.

The workshop will take place in the beautiful Albaycin area of Granada, which is on the Unesco world heritage list. Due to the very interdiscipinary nature of the meeting, tutorial style talks will give introductions into different topics in the morning and we have reserved time for informal discussions in the afternoon. The program and other details can be found on the conference website http://www.snn.ru.nl/cyberstat_granada/.

The meeting is open to a limited number of interested researchers. For registration details see the conference website.

Looking forward to meeting you in Granada.
