Dear Colleagues, due to many requests and the easter season the paper submission deadline for NMPC 2018 has been extended: regular and invited papers: April 15th invited session proposals: April 2nd abstract only contributions: May 1th These deadlines are firm deadlines, there will be no more extensions. Submission details can be found on the conference webpage: http://www.nmpc2018.org/ With best regards Rolf Findeisen, Daniel Limon, Tobias Geyer (IPC chairs) James B. Rawlings, Victor Zavala, Thomas Badgwell (NOC chairs) IFAC NMPC 2018, August 19th-22nd Madison, Wisconsin 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, US, August 19th-22nd, 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 process industry to automotive and robotics. NMPC 2018 aims at bringing together researchers interested and working in the field of MPC, from both academia and industry. This allows to reflect and establish the current state-of-the-art and focus the future development of the MPC field towards relevant directions. 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 and model predictive control · Learning and model predictive control · Hierarchical and decentralized predictive control · Embedded and real-time feasible predictive control · Applications of model predictive control MADISON NMPC 2016 will take place in the city of Wisconsin, Madison, USA in the fluno conference center. It is located between the 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 U.S. state of Wisconsin. For detailed information about the 6th NMPC, visit www.nmpc2018.org .
