The aim of the workshop is to give an overview of the recent advances in the theory and applications of nonnegative matrices and operators, including but not limited to the areas of biology, computer science, communication networks, and stability theory. The range of topics covered will be broad, and the workshop should be of interest to anyone working on either the theory or the applications of nonnegative matrices.

The objective of the EC-funded Research Training Network, Multi-Agent Control, is to consider aspects of the design of Hybrid Systems that involve probabilistic reasoning, optimal co-ordination, stability analysis, and control design. The objective of the Summer School is to provide a stimulating environment for collegial interaction for academics and students working in the area. The total number of participants was limited to around 40.

The topic of the Workshop is empirical/semi-empirical methods for mathematical modelling of nonlinear systems. This topic encompasses fields including system identification, time series analysis, neural network and fuzzy-logic modelling, embedding and shadowing theory and practice. Research in this area is of direct interest in disciplines including engineering, applied mathematics, physics, statistics and computer science. The aim of the workshop is to bring together relevant research groups within the UK and Ireland with a view to clarifying common interests, encouraging exploration of potential inter-disciplinary synergies and generally foster communication between disciplines and the strengthening of links between researchers.
