There has been a steady growth in the interactions between control theory and various branches of the physical and biological sciences. These interactions have been significantly influenced by the increasing role of the dynamical systems perspective in these sciences. This series of talks is designed to highlight some of the exciting developments now taking place at the forefront of research in Control and Dynamical Systems and to draw attention to some of the emerging interdisciplinary connections. Contributions by engineers and mathematicians will be complemented by presentations of work in areas of growing interest such as biological control, molecular dynamics, computational neuroscience etc.
