Hybrid systems are complex systems that exhibit discrete event as
well as continuous time dynamics governed by differential and
difference equations. Recent technological innovations have caused a
considerable interest in the study of dynamical processes described
by hybrid systems. Many systems in engineering and science can be
considered as hybrid systems: continuous systems with phased
operation (biological cell growth and division, walking robots),
controlled by discrete logic (chemical plants with valves and pumps,
thermostats, aircraft autopilot modes, automobile automatic
transmissions), and coordinating processes (air and ground
transportation systems, swarms of air vehicles).
Scope of Workshop
The Workshop on Hybrid Systems Modeling, Simulation and Optimization
will focus on the modeling, simulation, control and optimization of
hybrid systems. The workshop will provide researchers working in the
field of hybrid systems, PhD students and general postgraduate level
audience an overview of the methods used and discussions on the
recent developments. The main aim is to identify emerging
industrial issues and research opportunities in the area of Hybrid
Systems.
The topics of the
workshop are:
-
Discrete variational
inequalities
-
Discrete events
-
Control
-
Optimization
-
Application in chemical engineering, systems
biology, mechanical engineering
