estimation, from both academia and industry. This allows to reflect and establish 
the current state-of-the-art and focus the future development towards relevant 
directions.

Major conference topics are (detailed list see conference webpage):
· Uncertainty and model predictive control
· Stability of model predictive control
· Economic model predictive control
· Big data and predictive control
· Model predictive control in the cloud/IoT and model predictive control
· Learning and model predictive control
· Moving horizon estimation
· Hierarchical and decentralized predictive control
· Embedded and real-time feasible predictive control
· Applications of model predictive control
