The scope of the workshop relies on the theory of sliding mode control and observation and in particular on

• Higher Order Sliding Mode,
• First Order Sliding Mode,
• Chattering analysis,
• Discrete time sliding mode,
• Lyapunov Methods for Variable Structure Systems & Sliding Mode Control,
• Homogeneity Methods for Variable Structure Systems & Sliding Mode Control,
• Adaptive sliding mode,
• Sliding Mode based Observation,
• Application of Sliding Mode Control to other theoretical problems.

Applications for instance out of the fields

• Automotive Systems,
• Hydraulic/Pneumatic systems,
• Electric drives and actuators,
• Power electronics,
• Networked Control Systems,
• Multi-agent systems,
• Mobile robots,
• Fault Detection,
• Process industry
