The aim of this interactive workshop is to bring together experts in the field of robust optimization. Topics of interest are convex and non-convex robust optimization theory and algorithms, uncertainty analysis for dynamic systems, as well as applications in robust process control. The workshop will consist of invited and contributed talks discussing reviews and personal opinions as well as new research results in the field of robust optimization and control.
