We are pleased to invite you to the ECC workshop Recent Trends in Control and Estimation of Distributed Parameter Systems.
Distributed Parameter Systems (DPS), modeled by partial differential equations (PDEs) and Time-Delay Systems (TDS), govern phenomena that evolve over both space and time. Classical applications include heat transfer, fluid dynamics, structural vibrations, and chemical processes; emerging ones span traffic flow, additive manufacturing, battery state-of-charge estimation, drilling, and thermoacoustic instability. The workshop addresses the disconnect between theoretical developments and digital implementation challenges, emphasizing scalable, real-time, and robust methodologies , while bridging classical PDE control with modern data-driven and AI-enhanced approaches.
