\"SCONES_2017_Day01_0011\"The Symposium on the Control of Network Systems (SCONES) took place on October 16 & 17, 2017 on the campus of Boston University, in Boston, MA.\u00a0 This event highlighted the increasing role of networks to a plethora of diverse areas, including game theory and distributed optimization, power, multi-agent and robotic, biological, and social networks & transportation. \u201cIt was a highly engaging, single-track workshop with fascinating talks and many opportunities to be exposed to new ideas and interact with colleagues. The talks served as proof for the expanding impact of computational methods to these areas,\u201d said IoannisPaschalidis, an Engineering Professor at Boston University, and the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems.<\/p>\n

The breadth of topics within network systems and the depth of the presentations led to a vibrant two-day symposium. Talks were engaging, highlighting recent advances and outlining challenges for the future. A complete agenda with speakers, affiliations, and abstracts is available at the\u00a0<\/span>SCONES web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>(TCNS) organized the\u00a0<\/span>1st<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span>SCONES<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>in 2014 as way of coalescing a community of control and network systems researchers. The success of that 1st<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span>symposium led to this year\u2019s SCONES, and the goal is to keep repeating this event every three years. TCNS was launched to provide a venue for rigorous work on network systems, a growing area of research encompassing network control systems, communication networks, sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, networks of autonomous agents, electric power networks, transportation networks, biological networks, and social\/economic networks.<\/p>\n
