Welcome
It is our great pleasure and an honor to welcome you to the 2010 World Congress on Intelligent Control and Automation(WCICA 2010), which takes place at Shandong Hotel,Jinan,Shandong, China from July6 to July9.
WCICA 2010 marks the eighth edition of the WCICAcongress series. We are proud to announce that this congress has received over 2374 submissions, including those in invited sessions, from over 20 countries and regions. After a rigorous full-paper peer-review process, 1355 papers were accepted for oral or poster presentation at the conference, resulting in 86 technical sessions. We should mention that, due to the unexpected record submissions, the Technical Program Committee worked extremely hard to review papers in order to maintain the quality of the conference. We regret that many excellent papers could not be accommodated.
The congress program is highlighted by Plenary talks delivered by six distinguished scholars: Prof.B.D.O. Anderson from the Australian National University;Prof. Rajni V. Patel fromUniversity of Western Ontario, Canada;Prof. Kazuhiro Kosuge fromTohoku University, Japan;Prof. Hassan Khalil fromMichigan State University,USA;Prof. Frank L. Lewis fromUniversity of Texas, Arlington, USA; Prof. Daizhan Cheng fromChinese Academy of Sciences, China.
We wish to express our appreciation and thanks to all the individuals who have contributed to WCICA 2010 in a variety of ways. Special thanks are extended to our colleagues in the Technical Program Committee for their thorough review of all the submissions, which is vital to the success of this congress. We must also extend our thanks to all the members in the Organizing Committee and our volunteer students who have dedicated their time and efforts in planning, promoting, organizing and helping the conference. Last but not least, our special thanks go to distinguished plenary speakers, and all the authors for contributing their research work, and to the participants and the exhibitors in making the 2010 World Congress on Intelligent Control and Automation a memorable event. Thank you and wish you a great conference and enjoyable visit in Jinan.

Abtrcat:
This one-day tutorial workshop presents basic knowledge, some most recent progress, as well as the presenter’s perspective about the stability analysis and control of time-delay systems. The workshop is suitable for two groups of audience: i) In-dustrial practitioners who want to know the foundamentals and tools available for modeling, analysis and control designs of time delay; ii) Researchers who encounter time-delay problems in their research (such a communications networks). People with substantial background in time-delay sustems may also benefit from the discussions on the most recent tools and perspectives.
Time delays in dynamical systems may arise as an intrinsic part of the system, through feedback channels due to measurement and control implementation, or as a result of simplic\fication of partial differential equations. Process control (as assumed in the classical Ziegler-Nichols tuning rules of PID control) and chaos control are two well-known examples of control systems involving time dealys. The applications of time-delay ststems span biology, ecology, economy, and of course, engineering.
The first part of this tutorial workshop is devoted to the fundamentals of time-delay systems. These include mathematical models (functional-differential equations, diff-erential-difference equations of retarded and neutral types, couples differential-difference equations, initial conditions ), stability, characteristic quasipolynomials, principal term, and distribution of poles, and Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and Razumikhin theorem. Some classial methods such as Pade approximation and Smith Predictor are also covered.
The second part of the workshop covers the frequency domain stability analysis. This includes such classical methods as pseudo-delay method and direct method for sys-tems with single or multiple commensuate dalays. Also included is more recently proposed methods for describing stability crossing sets for systems eith two or three parameters (some of the parameters may be delays).
The third part of the workshop covers the Lyapunov-Krasovkii functional approach. Topics include modeling of systems with multiple delay channels as coupled diffe-rential-functional equations or coupled differential-diffrence equations. Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, stability of difference equations of continuous time, contruc-tion of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, and equivalence of couples differential-difference equations of various types.
The final part of the workshop covers the control synthesis of time-delay systems. Topics indlude modifications and extensions of the Smith Predictor .

Abtrcat:
Why Fractinal Calculus? Many real dynamic systems are better characterized using a non-integer order dynamic model based on fractinal calculus or, diffrentiation or integration of non-integer order. Traditional calculus is based on integer oeder differentiation and integration. The concept of fractional calculus has tremendous potential to change the way we see, model, and control the natrure around us. Den-ying fractional derivatives is like saying that zero, fractional, or irrational numbers do not exist.
In the control side, clealy, for closed-loop control systems, there are four situations. They are 1) IO (integer order) plant with IO controller; 2)IO plant with FO (fractional order) controller; 3)FO plant with IO controller and 4) Foplant with FO controller. From control engineering point of view, doing something better is the major concern. Existing evidences have confirmed that the bestfractional order controller outper-forms the best integer oeder controller. It has also been answered in the literature why to consider fractional order control even when integer (high) oeder control works comparatively well. Fractional order PID control dominates the industry, we believe FO-PID will gain increasing impact and wide acceptance. Furthermore, we also believe that based on some real world examples, fractional order control is ubiquitous when the dynamic system is of distributed parameter natrue.
In the end, fractional calculus belongs to the scheme of mathematics which concerns with calculus complex analysis, special functions and differential and integral equations, etx. The tutorial introductions about FC will be included in this workshop, the invited/special session on WCICA (TBD) and another full day long workshop on frontiers of FODSC (TBD) after the conference. Therefore, this is the best chance to touch almost every filed of fractional calculus and its application in a few days.

There has beena phenomenal progressin nonlinearcontrol theoryandapplicationsoverthelast 30years. Thefieldofnonlinearcontrolcontinuestoremainanactiveresearch branch of automatic control, because of the fact that control systems arisingfromreal-worldapplicationsare essentiallynonlinearandofteninvolvestrong nonlinearities.Arichsetoftoolsforanalyzing nonlinearsystemsanddesigningcon-trollerswithguaranteed robustness and desirable performance are scattered throug-hout the vast literature.
The objective of this half-day workshop is to introduce two basic tools, which have been proven useful for solving various kinds of nonlinear control problems:
1. Input-to-State Stability (for short, “ISS”),
2. Nonlinear Small-Gain Theorems,
Examples of these problems using ISS and small-gain are closely related to stabili-zation, adaptive tracking, decentralized control for nonlinear dynamic systems taking either continuous-time or discrete-time forms and involving probably implusive effects and time delays. Their applications also appear in recent studies on hot topics such as networked control systems (NCS), hybrid systems, and systems and mathematical biology.
