The 7th ADHS will take place at the Fondation Universitaire in Brussels, Belgium, on Wednesday to Friday July 7-9, 2021. The event is organized by the ICTEAM Institute at UCLouvain.

ADHS 2021 will be held in a fully virtual format

This decision was made in accordance with the steering committee, in view of the evolution of the pandemics.

For this reason, we also regret to announce that there will be no poster session for this edition of the conference.

The registration to the conference will open by end of April, via the section registration.
The conference program will be announced at that time as well.

The guidelines for speakers are available here.

Joint event: The 2021 ARCH workshop will be held on Friday 9 July 2021 as part of the ADHS 2021 conference! More information about the program here.

About

The IFAC Conference on Analysis and Design of Hybrid Systems brings together researchers and practitioners in the area of hybrid systems, with backgrounds in control, computer science, and operations research, to provide a forum for discussing and presenting recent results in the fields of hybrid and cyber-physical systems.

ADHS has already a long and rich history. The previous ADHS were held in St Malo, France (2003), Alghero, Italy (2006), Zaragoza, Spain (2009), Eindhoven, The Netherlands (2012), Atlanta, GA, USA (2015), and Oxford, UK (2018). In addition, the ADHS series was preceded by the successful conference series on Automation Of Mixed Processes: ADPM 92 in Paris (France), ADPM 94 in Brussels (Belgium), ADPM 98 in Reims (France) and ADPM 2000 in Dortmund (Germany).

Topics

Contributions are invited in all areas pertaining to the engineering of hybrid systems including: modelling, specification, verification, analysis, control synthesis, simulation, validation, and implementation. We solicit theoretical as well as applied research papers in the area, both as regular papers, and as tools papers, and case studies. We welcome articles connecting the cognate fields of control theory and formal verification.

Contributions are encouraged on applications of hybrid methods in various fields, such as automotive, avionics, energy and power, mobile and autonomous robotics, process and manufacture industry, transportation and infrastructure networks, communication networks and networked control systems, cyber-physical systems, safety-critical systems, systems and synthetic biology.
