Preface

In many industrial applications there are strong constraints on the complexity of the controller which can effectively be implemented. Therefore it is very important to develop and evaluate the design techniques and the controller reduction techniques for obtaining high performance controllers of low complexity.

The objective of the international workshop dedicated to “Design and optimization of restricted complexity controllers” is to give a view of the current state of the art in the design and optimization of restricted complexity controllers. All steps of a control design problem from data acquisition, modeling and identification, robust controller design, controller evaluation and final tuning in relation with the objective of obtaining the simplest controller which will achieve the desired performance will be discussed. Results on a related real- time benchmark problem (control of an active suspension) obtained by various contributors will also be presented and comparatively evaluated. The proceedings of the workshop include the papers (regular papers and tutorials) to be presented. The final program can be found also at the workshop web site. A round table is scheduled as well as a demonstration of the active suspension (the benchmark).

The workshop is sponsored by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Department of Science and Technology for Information and Communication and co-sponsored by the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG). The workshop is hosted and organized by the Laboratroire d’Automatique de Grenoble (CNRS/INPG/UJF).
