Speech 1:
Pinning Control
and Controllability of
Complex Networked
MIMO Systems
Prof. Guanrong
(Ron) Chen
City University of Hong Kong
This talk will briefly review the notion of pinning control
for complex dynamical networks. Then, the controllability of networked MIMO
(multi-input/multi-output) LTI (linear time-invariant) dynamical systems will
be discussed in detail, for which both structural controllability and state
controllability will be addressed, with necessary and/or sufficient conditions
presented.
This is a joint work with Lin Wang and Xiaofan Wang from Shanghai
Jiao Tong University, China.
Guanrong
(Ron) Chen has been a Chair Professor and the Director of the Centre for Chaos
and Complex Networks at the City University of Hong Kong since 2000, prior to
that he was a tenured Full Professor at the University of Houston, Texas, USA.
He was awarded the 2011 Euler Gold Medal, Russia, and conferred Honorary
Doctorates by the Saint Petersburg State University, Russia in 2011 and by the
University of Le Havre, France in 2014. He is a Fellow of the IEEE (1997), a
Member of the Academy of Europe (2014), and a Fellow of The World Academy of
Sciences (2015). He is a Highly Cited Researcher in Engineering as well as in
Mathematics according to Thomson Reuters.

Riverside
Jay A. Farrell received B.S. degrees (1986) in physics and
electrical engineering from Iowa State University, and M.S. (1988) and Ph.D.
(1989) degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Notre Dame. At
Charles Stark Draper Lab (1989-1994), he was principal investigator on projects
involving intelligent and learning control systems for autonomous vehicles. Dr.
Farrell received the Engineering Vice President's Best Technical Publication
Award in 1990, and Recognition Awards for Outstanding Performance and
Achievement in 1991 and 1993. He is a Professor and former Chair of the
Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of California,
Riverside. He has served as Vice President Finance and Vice President of
Technical Activities for the IEEE Control Systems Society. He is Vice General
Chair of the 2011 and Genral Chair of the 2012 IEEE Conference on Decision and
Control. He is a Fellow of the IEEE (2008) and author of over 150 technical
publications. He is author of the book “Aided Navigation: GPS with High Rate
Sensors” (McGraw-Hill 2008). He is also co-author of the books “The Global
Positioning System and Inertial Navigation” (McGraw-Hill, 1998) and “Adaptive
Approximation Based Control: Unifying Neural, Fuzzy and Traditional Adaptive
Approximation Approaches” (John Wiley 2006).
