- Conference on New Trends in Optimal Control - NETCO 2014, June 23-27 2014, Tours, France
NETCO is the final conference of the SADCO project, co-organized with the French ANR project HJ-Net.
The objective of NETCO is to gather researchers from the optimization and optimal control community. Researchers will have the opportunity to interact and discuss the latest trends and results in these fields as well as to review advances and challenges in industry, with a view to presenting the state of the art and developing new research collaborations
For more details and to register, see the poster and visit netco2014.sciencesconf.org
Deadline for pre-registration, grant application and abstracts for proposals of contributed talks and posters: 15 Jan 2014
