Flexible structures arise in several important areas of application, for instance: antenna control, robotics and large space structures. Satisfactory control of these systems is hampered by difficulties related to sensing and identification. The first day of this workshop was a short course on identification of flexible structures conducted by Dr. Jer-Nan Juang of the NASA Langley Research Centre. The remainder of the workshop consisted of talks on current rearch by engineers and mathematicians working in structural control. There was also a tour of the flexible structuress lab facility at the University of Waterloo.
