| Purpose | To give participants foundations in theory and tools for Hybrid Systems, i.e. dynamical systems with complex interaction between discrete events and continuous evolutions. | |
| Description |
It is well known that almost all real systems
that we want to model are hybrid: Their behaviour is a mixture of smooth
evolutions and instantaneous mode changes. Think for example of a
jumping ball, the movements of a vehicle, or the evolution of a
biological process. Until recently, the general approach was either to
ignore the discrete events and focus solely on conventional dynamical
systems or to ignore the evolutions and model the systems as pure
discrete event systems. However, neither solution is adequate when we
want to model complex phenomena, thus hybridicity.
The school commences with an introduction to conventional dynamical systems. It is aimed at participants with modest prior experience with dynamical systems theory and practice. It is a joint effort with the Dina Research School. The second part is about theory and tools for modelling hybrid systems. This will involve:
It is a key objective that the participants get hands-on experience with selected tools. |

| Prerequisites |
The first part requires a basic understanding
of mathematics. The second part, if followed alone, requires a solid control theory background. |
