IFAC NMPC 2018, August 19-22, 2018, Madison, Wisconsin, USA Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the organizing committee, we are pleased to invite you to submit papers and proposals for invited sessions to the 6th International Conference on Nonlinear Model Predictive Control, which will take place in the city of Wisconsin, Madison, USA, August 19-22, 2018. Model predictive control (MPC) is one of the advanced control techniques that has significantly affected control engineering practice with thousands of controllers implemented in various fields, spanning from the process industries to automotive and robotics. NMPC 2018 aims at bringing together researchers interested and working in the field of MPC, from both academia and industry. The meeting goal is to assess the current state-of-the-art and define promising areas for future development of the MPC field. Major conference topics are (for a detailed list see the conference webpage): · Uncertainty and model predictive control · Stability of model predictive control · Economic model predictive control · Model predictive control in the cloud/IoT · Learning and model predictive control · Hierarchical and decentralized model predictive control · Embedded and real-time feasible model predictive control · Applications of model predictive control MADISON NMPC 2016 will take place in the city of Madison, Wisconsin, USA in the Fluno Conference Center. The meeting site is located between Lakes Mendota and Monona on the University of Wisconsin Madison campus, in the downtown and cultural center of Madison. Madison is the capital of the State of Wisconsin. For detailed information about the 6th NMPC, visit www.nmpc2018.org.
