   The workshop aims at providing a forum for discussing recent advances in the areas of flocking, swarming and control of multi-agent systems. We expect the workshop to be a forum for discussions among researchers and students with different backgrounds, and we encourage participants to present their contribution within perspective and for a rather wide ranging audience. Prof. Vicsek will give a 2-hour lecture on collective motion.
