He added that, \u201cthe agenda of the symposium demonstrates the spread of network thinking and the impact of systems and control methods to a variety of areas, from power systems, to robotics, biology, as well as networks with human actors such as social networks and transportation networks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SCONES is meant to bring together the scientific community working on questions relating to networks and control, either mathematical and\/or of interest to a variety of application domains. The first Symposium was held in 2014 to celebrate the inaugural issue of TCNS and discuss the future of the networks and control field. The IEEE publication TCNS focuses on systems with interconnected parts, which have emerged in many fields, including economics, biology, and all areas of engineering.<\/p>\n<p>SCONES 2017 will feature invited talks from global research leaders and a contributed poster session, showcasing the work of students and post-doctoral fellows, many of whom are at Boston University. The Center for Information and Systems Engineering, directed by Paschalidis, is handling the organization of SCONES.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speakers for SCONES 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Maryam Kamgarpour, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ashutosh Nayyar, University of Southern California<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Cedric Langbort, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Walid Saad, Virgina Tech<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Anna Scaglione, Arizona State University<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Lang Tong, Cornell University<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Pascal van Hentenryck, University of Michigan<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Steven Low, California Institute of Technology<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Naomi Leonard, Princeton University<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Calin Belta, Boston University<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Jonathan How, Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Solmaz Kia, University of California at Irvine<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Domitilla Del Vecchio, Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Marc Vidal, Harvard University<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Adilson Motter, Northwestern University<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Andrew Emili, Boston University<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ben Golub, Harvard University<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Amir Ajorlou, Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ketan Savla, University of Southern California<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Giacomo Como, Politecnico di Torino and Lund University<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2nd Symposium on the COntrol of NEtwork Systems (SCONES) will be held on Monday, October 16 and Tuesday, October 17, 2017, at the Boston University Photonics Center. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13786,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[236,287,240,907,1035],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62190"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13786"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62190"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62190\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":164602,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62190\/revisions\/164602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
