This year’s MED'16 conference, in Athens, Greece, is the 24th MED conference. The very first MED took place in 1993 in Chania, Greece and since then the MED has been in Cyprus, Italy, France (Corsica), Croatia, Turkey, Israel, Portugal, Morocco, Spain and several times in Greece (for a complete list of the MED conferences, see www.med-control.org). This year we are back in Athens and in the same venue, nine years after the 2007 conference that also took place here. The objective of MED has always been to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers in the area of Control Systems and Automation from the Mediterranean countries, who share much more than technical interests, among other things, culture and history. Ever since the 1st MED, there has been strong and continuing interest in the MED conferences and the success of recent conferences, including the present one, bears witness to this fact. I must say that attendees as well as organizations do appreciate the value and contributions of the MED to the profession. The Mediterranean Control Association (MCA) is the sponsoring, parent organization and oversees all the MED conferences. MCA was founded in 1998 and is registered in Cyprus as a non-profit organization (see the MCA website at www.med-control.org ) The MED conferences have been technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society and the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, and they have consistently kept high quality standards both in the technical program and the conference organization. This is primarily due to the authors, who submit technically sound papers, and to the tremendous effort of all the volunteers involved in the technical evaluation of these papers and in the organization of the conferences. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their time, effort and wonderful work. Remember that the MED Conference Proceedings may be found on line at http://ieeexplore.ieee.org. The Proceedings of early MED Conferences may be found at www.med-control.org I hope you do enjoy MED'16 and take full advantage of your stay in Athens, taking in the sites and also relaxing. In 2017, the 25th MED will go to Malta, and I hope to see you all there, as well. Thank you for your participation and contributions to MED’16! Panos Antsaklis, President Mediterranean Control Association (MCA) WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL CHAIRS Dear participants and attendees: On behalf of the 2016 MED Organizing Committee, it is a privilege and a great pleasure to welcome you to this year’s Conference. The 2016 MED is coming back to Athens, nine years after the 2007 conference. The three-day Conference is preceded by a one-day Workshops / Tutorials program. The Conference venue is the luxurious Divani Caravel Hotel, one of the top-rated hotels in Europe and Greece. We are certain that you will be very pleased with the conference venue. Conference attendees represent academia, industry, government agencies and students, all having
