The NE{S|T}COC Symposium and Workshop will be held on
September 28/29, 2009 in Stuttgart Germany. This two
day event is meant to give an overview over the rapidly
developing field of networked systems and cooperative
control and will serve as a platform to discuss current
issues and future trends in the field.

On the first day, eight invited speakers will give
plenary talks on recent trends in networked systems and
cooperative control within the "Symposium on Recent
Trends in Networked Systems and Cooperative Control"
(NESCOC). Confirmed speakers are:
- Murat Arcak (Berkeley)
- Pierre-Alexandre Bliman (INRIA)
- Francesco Bullo (UCSB)
- Joao Hespanha (UCSB)
- Ali Jadbabaie (UPenn)
- Karl Henrik Johansson (KTH)
- Antonis Papachristodoulou (Oxford)
- Rodolphe Sepulchre (Liege)

On the second day, a tutorial "Workshop on Network
Induced Constraints in Control" (NETCOC) provides
introductory presentations to different aspects of
network induced constraints in control and serves as
a platform for discussion. This workshop will deal
with different aspects of network induced constraints
like quantization or loss and delay of packets. It
is perfectly suited as an introduction to this
expanding area.

The registration fee is Euro 90 (Euro 120 when
registering after August 14) and includes lunches and
an evening banquet on September 28. Please register

Automatic Control (IST) at the University of Stuttgart.
