At the same time, cooperative systems are notoriously difficult to model, analyze, and solve - while intuitively understood, they are not axiomatically defined in any commonly accepted manner. The works in this volume provide outstanding insights into this very complex area of research. They are the result of invited papers and selected presentations at the Fourth Annual Conf Notes Papers presented at the Fourth Annual Conference on Cooperative Control and Optimization, held in Destin, Florida, November 2003 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes English Print version record Subject Control theory -- Congresses Decision making -- Mathematical models -- Congresses Cooperation -- Mathematical models -- Congresses Mathematical optimization -- Congresses MATHEMATICS -- Calculus.
