Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This volume contains papers contributed to The Second Multidisciplinary Symposium on Positive Systems: Theory and Applications (POSTA06) held in Grenoble, France, August 30-31 and September 1, 2006. The contributions cover several theoretical issues (stability, control properties . . .) concerning the models of positive systems as well as many application papers in the fields of biology, communication systems, etc.
