Scalable control of interconnected systems

- a celebration of Anders Rantzer's 60th birthday

Modern society is critically dependent on large-scale networks for services such as energy supply, transportation and communications. The design and control of such networks is becoming increasingly complex, due to their growing size, heterogeneity and autonomy. This workshop brings together thought-leaders in the field to discuss future directions in scalable system theory, architectures and incentives, and learning.
