Welcome to the official website of the COST/IEEE-CASS Seasonal Training School in Fractional-Order Systems (COST/IEEE-CASS FRACTAL) that will be held during November 24-26, 2016, in Brno, Czech Republic. The COST/IEEE-CASS FRACTAL is hosted by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication of Brno University of Technology and organized as part of the COST Action CA15225 - “Fractional-order systems; analysis, synthesis and their importance for future design” by co-sponsorship of IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) and IEEE Czechoslovakia Section & SP/CAS/COM Joint Chapter.

Fractional-(non-integer)-order derivatives have been studied by mathematicians since the late seventeenth century, when Leibniz, de L’Hospital, Riemann, Liouville and others were involved in their early development. Recently, the fractional-order continuous-time systems were labeled as the “21st Century Systems” and therefore received significant interest of scientists and engineers while their deeply rooted mathematical concepts migrate to various scientific disciplines due to their effectiveness for modeling of various processes and systems in the areas of physics, chemistry, biology, material science, electrical engineering, control, etc.

The COST/IEEE-CASS FRACTAL training school aims to bring together Bachelor, Masters, Ph.D. students and as well as experienced scientists working in various interdisciplinary research areas such as advanced mathematics, circuit theory, material science, control, biology, and other up to date topics in fractional-order systems. The program of the three days training school includes six keynote speeches and PC laboratory exercise given by world-recognized lecturers.
