Centre for Interdisciplinary Computational and Dynamical Analysis (CICADA)
The University of Manchester has recently created a Centre for Interdisciplinary Computational and Dynamical Analysis (CICADA) working at the boundaries between mathematics, computer science and control engineering.
This centre has received £1.7m funding from EPSRC to build a centre of excellence and a national resource to explore new mathematical and computational methods for analysing hybrid systems, asynchronous systems and developing adaptive control methods for these systems. Funding runs from November 2007 to April 2012 - and hopefully beyond!
