On July 17th-18th, 2017, the BitFest will take place in Como as a workshop to mark the lifetime achievements of Sergio Bittanti.

In 1989, a workshop was organized in Como to celebrate two and a half centuries of Count Riccati’s equation. Almost three decades later, Sergio Bittanti returns to the shores of Lake Como, inviting his colleagues, friends and students to join him in a celebration of his lifetime achievements.

It will be an occasion to reflect on the evolution of system identification and control, learning from the past and looking towards the future. Distinguished speakers will share their views on various topics (technical, philosophical, historical) in the research areas close to Sergio’s interests.

The workshop will be held in the pleasant setting of Villa del Grumello, an 18th-century building looking out onto the blue water of Lake Como.
