Welcome

The growing interest of the scientific community in systems with time delay and their applications has been shown by a series of workshops held in Grenoble, France (1998), Ancona, Italy (2000), Santa-Fe, USA (2001), Rocquencourt, France (2003), Leuven, Belgium (2004), L’Aquila, Italy (2006), Nantes, France (2007), Sinaia, Romania (2009), Prague, Czech Republic (2010), Boston, USA (2012), Grenoble, France (2013), Ann Arbor, USA (2015) and Istanbul, Turkey (2016).

The 14th IFAC Workshop in Time Delay Systems (TDS 2018) is being held between 28-30th of June, 2018 in downtown Budapest, Hungary, where scientists, researchers and industrial partners are presenting their latest results on the theory and application of time delay systems.
The breathtaking venue, the Pesti Vigadó at the Danube bank, is a perfect place to continue the tradition of providing an international forum to exchange new ideas in the TDS community.

A new feature of the 14th workshop is that, in addition to the traditional 6-page paper submissions, contributions without paper (only abstract submissions) were also accepted in order to open the doors of the workshop and bring together researchers from different fields, such as mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, economics and engineering. Following the initiations of previous workshops, the scientific programme involves thematic sessions organized by the members of the International Program Committee.

It is our pleasure to welcome you in Budapest at this workshop to share and improve our knowledge in the diverse fields of time delay systems.
