报告一：The 4th Industrial Revolution/ 中国制造 2025 and Our Roles/Future

The 4th Industrial Revolution has arrived with no historical precedent and is evolving at an exponential rather than a linear pace of technological breakthroughs. It is fueled by rapid advances in Internets, wireless device and communication, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous vehicles, 3-D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials science, new energies, which connect billions of people and machines together, anytime and anywhere.  

This talk will give brief introduction to the 4th Industrial Revolution and show our roles and action in this meg-trend, where the latest work of the speaker on i-enterprise will be highlighted.

报告二：Research on Research

Being a researcher with over 12000 citations and H-index of 62, the speaker will share his personal journal and view on research process of his numerous projects/publications, and research supervision of his 30+ PhD students and 30+ postdoctoral fellows. He will address the weakest aspects of Chinese students/researchers: creativity and presentation. In particular, he will show how to build solid fundamentals, get maximum gains from the literature, acquire logic reasoning ability, generate novel ideas, present research with clarity and rigor for easy recognition.

Do not miss this talk as it could be of both first kind and first hand of research life to you.

报告三：Time-delay Systems: Identification, Stability and Control

Time delay is common. It occurs within single operational plants as well as transportation of the feeding from one unit to another. It now also occurs across plant/systems via Internet or other communication networks where end-users, sensors, actuators, controllers, and filters are often connected together, which are called networked control systems. Identification, stability and control of time-delay systems has been an active research area. This talk will thus review our significant developments in this area over last decades and show the open and hidden problems and research directions to solve them. It covers

Standard identification algorithms with iteration on delay, non-iterative algorithms;

Internal stability, stability analysis and delay stability margin;

Smith/IMC control, Partial IMP, Finite spectrum assignment.
