The 3rd IFAC Workshop on Distributed Estimation and Control in Networked Systems (NECSYS'12) will take place in Santa Barbara in Sep 14-15, 2012 at the Fess Parker’s Doubletree Resort, Santa Barbara, California.

The workshop will focus on the most innovative mathematical methods proposed in the last few years for the analysis and design of networked systems. Networked systems are complex dynamical systems composed of a large number of simple systems interacting through a communication medium. These systems arise as natural models in many areas of engineering and sciences, such as sensor networks, autonomous unmanned vehicles, biological networks, and animal cooperative aggregation and flocking.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from control, computer science, communication, game theory, statistics, mathematics and other areas to discuss emerging topics in networked systems of common interest.
