Plenary speech: Time-delay systems — Problems, solutions and applications

Summary form only given. Time delay in control systems has been one of challenging problems in the field of control engineering. It has been studied in various fields, like chemical process, large-scale systems, telerobotics, and so on. Now that networked control system (NCS) that implements control system through shared networks is being developed rapidly and widely, control of time-delay systems is drawing further attention.
