Algebraic Computing in Control

Some algebraic, combinatorial and algebraic-differential me-

thods have beenused in recent years in order to solve many

problems in control theory, by effective algorithms. Imple-

mentation of these algorithms generally involves algebraic

computation systems and tools. Software realizations are al-

ready developed in an increasing number of research centres.

The goal of the "First European Conference on Algebraic Com-

puting in Control" has been to present the main actual me-

thods for analysis and control of systems which naturally

lead to the use of algebraic computing.

The maintopics and themes are as follows:

mathematic tools in control theory that lead to effective

algorithms, algebraic computing tools, that are available in

the field of control theory, software realizations in

control involving algebraic computing.
