Abstract
Existing decision and control methodology does not appear to be adequate for complex, large-scale systems. One area of research that attempts to develop techniques for such systems is decentralized control theory, where "decentralized" applies not only to the control strategy, but also to the information structure. To explore the future directions of decentralized control, the panel members will address the following questions: 1) how has their training as students in decentralized control helped them in their current research, and 2) can the current state-of-the-art in centralized control theory be extended or is a whole new theory needed?
