The IFAC Conference on Nonlinear Model Predictive Control 2012 is the 4th meeting on the assessment and future directions of model predictive control (MPC) since 1998. The first conference on this topic was organized in Ascona, Switzerland, 1998; followed by the conference in Freudenstadt-Lauterbad, Germany, 2005; and the conference in Pavia, Italy, 2008. For the first time, this meeting will be held as an IFAC conference with the support of the IFAC TC 2.3 Non-Linear Control Systems.
The IFAC Conference on Nonlinear Model Predictive Control 2012 aims at bringing together researchers in the area of MPC, from both academia and industry, in order to establish the current state-of-the-art and focus the future development of the MPC field towards relevant directions.
