IFAC World Congress 2026 — SIDDARTA in Busan

The SIDDARTA team — Raphaël Jungers, Gianluca Bianchin, Vijayanand Digge, and Amir Mehrnoosh — attended the 2026 IFAC World Congress in Busan, South Korea, the flagship triennial event of the control community. The team presented recent work and interacted with researchers from around the world. A highlight of the week was the Journal Awards ceremony, where Raphaël Jungers received the triennial Automatica Paper Prize for the paper "Graph-based conditions for feedback stabilization of switched and LPV systems" (Matteo Della Rossa, Thiago Alves Lima, Marc Jungers, Raphaël M. Jungers, Automatica Vol. 160, 2024, 111427). The Automatica Paper Prize is awarded every three years to recognise outstanding contributions published in the journal Automatica. Two SIDDARTA papers were presented at the congress: - Amir Mehrnoosh and Gianluca Bianchin, "Two-Point Random Gradient-Free Methods for Model-Free Feedback Optimization". - Vijayanand Digge, Akshit Saradagi, and Gianluca Bianchin, "Data-Driven Adaptive Event-Triggered Control for Discrete-Time Systems".
