ISR organized the Symposium on Systems, Control and Networks in honor of Dr. Pravin Varaiya, June 5-7. The symposium drew more than 180 people and was held in Berkeley, Calif. It was sponsored by ISR, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the National Science Foundation and the University of California, Berkeley. The research presented at the symposium is recorded in the new book, Advances in Control, Communication Networks, and Transportation Systems, published by Birkhauser and edited by ISR Director Eyad Abed (ECE/ISR).
Topics included Stochastic systems, Hybrid systems, Transportation systems, Economics, Networks and Sensor networks. Dr. Baras presented a speach on Cooperation, Trust and Games in Wireless Networks in the symposium.

ISR Director Eyad Abed (ECE/ISR), Professor John S. Baras (ECE/ISR), Professor P.S. Krishnaprasad (ECE/ISR), and ISR Assistant Research Scientist Eric Justh were featured speakers at the Workshop on Swarming in Natural and Engineered Systems this month.
The workshop brought together experts in artificial intelligence, control theory, robotics, systems engineering and biology to better understand swarming behaviors in nature and applications of biologically-inspired models of swarm behaviors to large networked groups of autonomous vehicles.
-- Dr. Abed spoke on Formation Control with Virtual Leaders and Reduced Communications.
-- Dr. Baras spoke on Swarm Collaborative Intelligence: From Networked Control to Trust in MANET.
-- Dr. Justh and Dr. Krishnaprasad's topic was Spatial Patterns in Cooperation and Conflict.
