Summer School on Complex Networked and Control Systems

Date: July 17 - 20, 2018

Location: Graz University of Technology, Inffeldgasse Campus, 8010 Graz,
Austria

THEME

The Internet of Things (IoT) will connect tens of billions “Smart Things”
that provide safety-critical services such as Smart Cities, Smart
Production, or Connected Cars. Here, real-world objects will not only be
monitored by wireless sensors, but their actions will also be wirelessly
controlled. Failures of the IoT may therefore lead to disastrous
consequences. To this end, wireless networking, networked control, and
signal processing  techniques are required that enable a dependable IoT
despite harsh environments and deliberate attacks.

GOALS AND AUDIENCE

The goal of the summer school is to survey fundamentals and selected
advanced aspects of networked optimization and control, wireless
networking, and signal processing in support of a dependable IoT.
International experts give full-day courses on these aspects. Participants
can experience the relevant technologies also during hands-on courses and
can present their own work during a participant's workshop. The school will
provide a good opportunity to get to know other people working in the
field, to meet distinguished scholars, and to establish contacts that may
lead to research collaborations in the future. We expect about 35
participants - the intended audience are post-graduate students, PhD
students, and young researchers from universities and industrial
laboratories around the world.
