Professor W. P. Dayawansa (Daya) was a successful researcher in several areas of mathematics and engineering. In keeping with the spirit of his work, the theme of the memorial workshop will cover a  broad spectrum of areas in which Daya was active. In addition the conference will highlight some emerging applications of system and control theory.   Areas of applications include  environmental science, nonlinear control, biology, physiology, and many emerging areas in control theory. The goal of this workshop is to use Dayawansa’s broad interests as a guide to future developments.
