2013 EUROPEAN CONTROL CONFERENCE, ZURICH, SWITZERLAND

WORKSHOP ON
TIME DELAY SYSTEMS – Stability & Control in Applications
July 16, 2013 – 9.00 am – 5.30 pm

Lecturers:

According to the statistics from Springer Verlag, 6622 times chapter downloads were recorded from the edited volume edited by Loiseau, J.-J. Niculescu, S.-I., Michiels, W., Sipahi, R., from August 26, 2009 to June 8, 2012.
Sipahi gave a plenary talk at the past IEEE International Conference on Electrical Engineering, Computing Science and Automatic Control held in Mexico City.
