Summary: 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.
