Academic Conferences and Symposia
MTNS 2006 Seventeenth International Symposium on Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems

MTNS is a prime conference in the general area of mathematical systems and control theory. The symposium is interdisciplinary and attracts mathematicians, engineers and researchers working in any aspect of system theory. MTNS 2006 will be held at the Kyoto International Conference Hall in July 2006. The symposium program will include plenary lectures, special topic invited lectures, mini-symposia, mini-courses, special topic sessions and contributed papers. MTNS is usually organized every two years and traditionally covers areas involving a wide range of research directions in mathematical systems, networks and control hypothesis.
