Author Description

This publication contains the papers presented at the IFAC Workshop on Control Applications of Optimization held in Haifa, Israel on 19-21 December 1995. The Workshop provided an ideal forum for scientists to gather together and exchange new ideas and information on the applications of optimization to real life control problems and to look for advances in optimization theory which are useful in solving modern applied problems. Various aspects of optimization and related control topics were included in the Workshop's program: estimation and identification, feedback optimal control, conflict (game) problems, stochastic control, numerical solutions of optimization problems, guidance and tracking problems. A total of 31 contributed papers were presented and discussed, 22 of which are published in this postprint volume.
