This volume gathers together all the lectures presented at the 6th IEEE Mediterranean Conference. It focuses on the mathematical aspects in the theory and practice of control and systems, including stability and stabilizability, robust control, adaptive control, robotics and manufacturing; these topics are under intense investigation and development in the engineering and mathematics communities. The volume should have immediate appeal for a large group of engineers and mathematicians who are interested in very abstract as well as very concrete aspects of control and system theory.Contents: Quantified Multivariate Polynomial Inequalities: The Mathematics of (Almost) All Practical Control Design Problems (P Dorato)Digital Second Order Sliding Mode Control with Uncertainties Estimation for a Class of SISO Nonlinear Systems (G Bartolini et al.)Development and Identification of a Hierarchical System of Models for Rapid Prototyping of Si Engines (I Arsie et al.)Identification of Uncertainty Models for Robust Control Design (S Malan et al.)Second Order Chattering-Free Sliding Mode Control for Some Classes of Multi-Input Uncertain Nonlinear Systems (G Bartolini et al.)Sliding Mode Output Regulation of Linear and Nonlinear Systems with Relative Degree One (L Marconi et al.)Output Control of Nonlinear Systems with Multiple Discrete Delays (M Dalla Mora et al.)Analytical Synthesis of Least Curvature 2D Paths for Underwater Applications (G Indiveri et al.)Modelling and Control of Nonsmooth Hybrid Mechanical Systems (B Brogliato)Global Temperature Stabilization of Chemical Reactors with Bounded Control (R Antonelli & A Astolfi)Detection and Accommodation of Second Order Distributed Parameter Systems with Abrupt Changes in Input Term: Existence and Approximation (M A Demetriou et al.)Discrete-Event Models of Manufacturing Systems (E Canuto)Optimization of Internal Forces in Force-Closure Grasps (A Bicchi et al.)Loading Parts and Tools in a Flexible Manufacturing System (D Pacciarelli)and other papersReadership: Researchers in control & system theory, electrical & electronic engineering, mechanical & knowledge engineering and robotics.Key Features:Proposes a value solution for games of two or more players that: (i) is the Nash bargaining solution in a special case, (ii) allows for unsymmetrical bargaining power, (iii) allows for group-to-group bargaining, and (iv) is always a point in the core of the game if the game is not nullUses methods from mathematical welfare economics to bridge the gap from non-transferable utility to transferable utilityRelying on Biform Games (Brandenburger and Stuart), constructs a model of cooperative value creation in coalitions formed by non-cooperative search and matching
