RELATED EVENTS

Quantitative analysis in functional scintigraphic imaging (Prague, Czech Republic)
3rd Portuguese Conference on Automatic Control (Coimbra, Portugal)

The 3rd IEEE European Workshop on Computer-Intensive Methods in Control and Data Processing Can We Beat the Curse of Dimensionality? September 7-9, 1998 Prague, Czech Republic Organized by Institute of Information Theory and Automation Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and School of Engineering Information Sciences University of Reading, UK Participating Society IEEE Control Systems Society

The aim of this IEEE Workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in academia, government and industry. Particular emphasis is placed on the `curse of dimensionality', i.e. the extreme dimensionality of computations connected with implementation of theoretically optimal mathematical procedures of inference and decision-making.

TOPICS

The extreme dimensionality of computations required by theoretically optimal mathematical procedures of inference and decision-making is a serious obstacle in a variety of fields such as control, data engineering, signal processing, image reconstruction, pattern recognition, nonparametric estimation, expert systems, etc. The `curse of dimensionality' has often been cured by just ad hoc simplifications at the cost of losing a lot from the theoretical properties of the optimal solution. Recent progress in attacking high-dimensional problems in the above mentioned fields makes it possible to think of picking up widely applicable principles and methods of handling or at least approaching the problem. The key idea of the Workshop is that the problem is common to a number of different disciplines such as control theory, mathematical statistics, system identification, information theory, statistical mechanics, data engineering (to name but a few), and that we can and should learn from each other. Because of a strongly inter-disciplinary character of the Workshop, we plan to give a considerable space to invited lectures by leading specialists in various fields. The Workshop will further include several sessions of contributed papers, poster sessions and computer demonstrations.

Topics relevant to the Workshop include:

Models of complex systems

Techniques of uncertainty management

Control design and optimization techniques

Software and hardware issues

Real-life applications

VENUE

The Workshop CMP'98 will be held at the Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Prague. The Institute is situated in the northern part of the city.
Some information about Prague and the Czech Republic
