1996 OSU Control Workshop
April 13, 1996
- Since 1983 the Control Research Laboratory has sponsored the O.S.U.
Control Workshop. This workshop was an annual event until 1994. Starting
1996 it will be held every other year. It is a two-day gathering of control
groups from universities in Ohio and neighboring states, and from local
industry. It provides an informal exchange of ideas and recent developments
in control research and is particularly geared toward involvement of graduate
students. Recent meetings have typically involved about 80 participants
from various universities including Air Force Institute of Technology, Carnegie
Mellon University, Case Western University, Cleveland State University,
University of Cincinnati, Indiana University, University of Illinois, University
of Michigan, Michigan State University, University of Notre Dame, University
of Pittsburgh, Purdue University, University of Toledo, Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University, Washington University, and Wayne State University.
