IntroductionThere has been a steady growth in the interactions between control theory and various branches of the physical and biological sciences. These interactions have been significantly influenced by the increasing role of the dynamical systems perspective in these sciences. This series of talks is designed to highlight some of the exciting developments now taking place at the forefront of research in Control and Dynamical Systems and to draw attention to some of the emerging interdisciplinary connections. Since its establishment in 1996, this series has included contributions by engineers, mathematicians, physicists, and biologists engaged at the forefront of research in control systems, computation, cell biology, robotics, networking, cooperative pheonomena and other areas.This series has been supported in part by the Army Research Office under the ODDR&E MURI97 Program Grant No. DAAG55-97-1-0114 to the Center for Dynamics and Control of Smart Structures (through Harvard University), and the ODDR&E MURI01 Program Grant No. DAAD19-01-1-0465 to the Center for Communicating Networked Control Systems (through Boston University), and by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research under under AFOSR Grant No. F49620-01-0415. The CDS lecture series is associated with the Intelligent Servosystems Laboratory and the Center for Dynamics and Control of Smart Structures. Please visit the listing of all previous CDS lectures.
