THREE THEORETICAL PROBLEMS IN THE CONTROL OF ROTATING MACHINES

The timing of this focussed research group (FRG) was excellent. Five of the six participants (from Canada, Spain, and the UK) are all involved in a 3-year research programme funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for the three year period, July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2010. Thus, the FRG provided a golden opportunity to reflect on achievements under this aegis, and to consider future activities of a similar kind. We consider the EPSRC programme to have been highly successful. Bringing together personnel with diverse backgrounds in engineering, mathematics, and computation has been productive, and reveals some exciting vistas for continued collaboration. The daily programme consisted of a collective working session in the morning, relaxation in the early afternoon, collective and/or private working sessions later in the day.
