Welcome to the web page of European Research Network System
Identification (ERNSI)!
Modelling of
dynamical systems is fundamental in almost all disciplines of science and
engineering, ranging from life science to plant-wide process control.
Engineering uses models for the design and analysis of complex technical
systems. System identification concerns the construction, estimation and
validation of mathematical models of dynamical physical or engineering
phenomena from experimental data.
European Research Network System Identification (ERNSI) was launched in
1992 by the European Commission as a SCIENCE project. The network is currently
coordinated by

The
main event is the annual ERNSI workshop.
The
2010 ERNSI WS System Identification will be held at
Pembroke College in Cambridge UK, from Monday 27 to
Wednesday 29 September 2010.
The local
organizer is Jan Maciejowski. Bo Wahlberg and Paul Van den Hof are co-chairs.
The
2011 ERNSI WS System Identification will be held in
Nice, France, at "La Maison du Séminaire Nice"
from Monday 26 to Wednesday 28 September 2011.
The local
organizers are Laurent Baratchart and Martine Olivi.
Summary of 2009 ERNSI WS at Stift Vorau, Austria.
The eighteenth ERNSI Workshop in System Identification was held
September 30 - October 2, 2009 at the Stift Vorau in Austria. The workshop had 41 participants.
The program consisted of 3 invited lectures:
8 oral presentations and 15 poster presentations. The
organizers was Manfred Deistler
and Wolfgang Scherrer. Further information can be
found at www.eos.tuwien.ac.at/ERNSI09.
Summary of 2008 ERNSI WS in Sigtuna,
Sweden.
The seventeenth ERNSI Workshop in System Identification was held October 1-3 2008 in Sigtuna at the Sigtuna Foundation. The workshop is sponsored by the
VR Linnaeus Research Center ACCESS (Autonomic Complex Communication nEtworks Signals and Systems) at KTH, www.access.ee.kth.se, the Center for
Industrial and Applied Mathematics, CIAM at KTH and Uppsala University. The 2008
workshop had 63 participants. The program is a single track, with longer
presentations including three invited guest presentations

Peter
Grundwald, CWI, The Netherlands - The Catch-Up
Phenomenon in Model Selection and Prediction
There was also a poster session. The program is available at http://www.ernsi.org/ERNSIWS08.htm
A special session on a roadmap for System Identification was held. The presentation is available at ERNSI White Paper Project.pdf
Summary of 2007 ERNSI WS in San Servolo, Italy.
The sixteenth ERNSI Workshop in System Identification was held in the
island of San Servolo in the Venetian lagoon, October
1-3, 2007. European Research Network System Identification (ERNSI) was launched
in 1992 by the European Commission as a SCIENCE project. The 2007
workshop had 65 participants. The program is a single track, with longer
presentations including three invited guest presentations,

Torhu
Katayama, University of Doshisha University,
Japan - Closed loop subspace identification of industrial plants
There was also a poster session. The program is available at http://control.dei.unipd.it/ERNSI07
The conclusion of the workshop is that data-driven modeling of dynamical
systems is a very exciting and vital field of research with strong connections
to a lot of other areas, including signal processing and machine learning. The
advances in control of complex systems, e.g. using model predictive control and
networked control, and a multitude of important industrial applications are all
based on the availability of reliable models. System identification is about
combining physical and engineering modeling with experimental information, and
is thus of fundamental importance in taking advantage of the progress in the
whole field of information and control systems.

Objectives of ERNSI
The objectives of ERNSI are:
1. To carry out
joint research on selected topics of system identification as specified below
under research objectives
2. To
advance modelling and identification procedures and
theory to selected cases of the application areas.
3. To
jointly train early-stage researchers and post-docs in modelling
and identification. Special attention will be paid to new structures in higher
education in Europe influenced by the Bologna process.
4. To increase
trans-national cooperation between research teams. The cooperation between
ERNSI research teams has turned out to be extremely valuable for research and
for applications. We will now open up for new partners in order to overcome
fragmentation.
5. To
collaborate with industrial and commercial organisations,
as well as governmental laboratories on system identification problems, to
exchange experiences between the teams on these problems, and, when
appropriate, for teams to jointly carry out applied research with such
entities. Much of this will be done within existing national and EU projects.
6. To address
important issues such as career development, experience of industrial projects,
researcher mobility and gender balance.
The aims of the workshops are:
