Considerable effort has been invested in recent years in developing rigorous numerical methods and cornputational tools for control systems analysis and design. Computational problems in control theory are complex ones. Fortunately, these problems often present special structures which, if exploited, can produce both theoretical and computational results. Moreover, problems that arise from applications are best addressed by interdisciplinary teams, where experts in various disciplines work together and create numerical algorithms for control design. Such communication often produces new research problems in specific disciplines. The Fourth Bozeman Conference brought together leading experts in control theory, numerical mathematics and various application areas, to discuss recent developments in interdisciplinary approaches to computational control.
