Stability and control are fundamental pillars in modern modeling, shaping robustness, performance, and predictability in physical, biological, and engineering systems. Time delays\u2014 arising from memory effects, transport processes, sensing, or actuation\u2014are often inherent to such systems and can dramatically transform their behavior, leading to instabilities, oscillations, and rich nonlinear dynamics. This session brings together researchers studying stability and controllability properties of systems governed by ordinary, partial, and functional differential equations, including both discrete and distributed delay models. Topics of interest encompass spectral techniques, asymptotic and exponential stability, and the role of delays in shaping system dynamics and control performance. A particular attention will be also paid to the stability properties of interacting particle systems, where time delays unavoidably appear as times needed to receive some information or reaction times. By unifying different perspectives, this special session seeks to stimulate dialogue between researchers developing theoretical foundations in control and stability and those driven by practical challenges, with the goal of identifying emerging problems and outlining promising directions for future research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mar\u00eda Rosario Astudillo Rojas, Federal University of Paran\u00e1 (Brazil)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fabio Camilli, University of Chieti-Pescara (Italy)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Roberto Capistrano-Filho, Federal University of Paran\u00e1 (Brazil)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Marco Cirant, University of Padova (Italy)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sarah Ismail, University of Bari &#8220;Aldo Moro&#8221; (Italy)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ibtissam Issa, University of L&#8217;Aquila (Italy)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Juan Bautista Limaco Ferrel, Fluminense Federal University (Brazil)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Angela Monti, CNR (Italy)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Monica Motta, University of Padova (Italy)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Wladimir Neves, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Val\u00e9ria Neves Domingos Cavalcanti, State University of Maring\u00e1 (Brazil)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ademir Pazoto, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":210,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1882","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1882"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1882\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2249,"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1882\/revisions\/2249"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/umi.dm.unibo.it\/jm-ita-bra-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
