*Conference scope:* HSCC 2018 is the 21st in a series of conferences focusing on original research on concepts, tools, and techniques from computer science, control theory, and applied mathematics for the analysis and control of hybrid systems, with an emphasis on computational aspects. By drawing on strategies from computation and control, hybrid systems theory finds application in both man-made cyber-physical systems (ranging from small robots to global infrastructure networks) and natural systems (ranging from biochemical networks to physiological models). Papers are expected to cover a wide spectrum of topics from theoretical results to practical considerations, from academic research to industrial adoption, including but not limited to:
- Mathematical foundations, computability and complexity - Analysis, verification, validation, and testing - Modeling paradigms and techniques - Design, synthesis, planning, and control - Programming and specification languages - Network science and network-based control - Security, privacy, and resiliency in cyber-physical systems with a focus on computation and control - Artificial intelligence and machine learning in control algorithms - Software tools - Applications and industrial case studies in: automotive, transportation, autonomous systems, avionics, energy and power, robotics, medical devices, manufacturing, systems and synthetic biology, models for the life sciences, and other related areas
