Connectionists: Call for Paper : Data Assimilation and Control

[Axel Hutt]

Dear all,

this is a Call for Paper for a Frontiers Research Topic on
Data Assimilation and Control: Theory and Applications in Life Sciences
<http://loop.frontiersin.org/researchtopic/6898>
see
https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/6898/data-assimilation-and-control-theory-and-applications-in-life-sciences
.

The understanding of complex systems is a key element to control the
system's dynamics. To gain deeper insights into the underlying actions of
complex systems, typically observations are analyzed what allows to derive
corresponding models. These days more and more data of diverse types are
available that mirror the systems dynamics, whereas system models are still
hard to derive. Consequently, developing and establishing techniques that
permit to gain models well-adapted to observed data is a long-standing
dream of every scientific field.
To this end, data assimilation and control theory provide important
techniques to match diverse experimental data with an underlying model. The
present Research Topic aims to bring together both recent theoretical work
in data assimilation and control and applications in life sciences. This
collection will reflect the state-of-the-art in current research in data
assimilation and control in, originally, distinct research domains.
Examples of theoretical topics (as an unconstrained open list) are Kalman
filters, variational assimilation techniques, regression techniques,
stochastic optimization techniques, adaptive, optimal and stochastic
control. Applications may range from the parameter estimation in genetic
regulatory networks over forecasts of cardio-vascular activity to control
of human limb movements.


If you are interested and may need some more detail, you may send me an
email or go to the webpage of the Research Topic.

Best regards


Axel
