    This School is the second in series of Pedagogical Schools in the framework of the European TMR project "Breakthrough in the control of nonlinear systems (Nonlinear Control Network)". The School consists of four courses that present the state of the art on different topics. These topics have been chosen to give a broad range of techniques for the analysis and synthesis of nonlinear control systems, and will bring together leader experts in their respective fields. The School has a pedagogical character, and is specially directed to young postgraduates in most areas of engineering and applied sciences like mathematics and physics. It will be also of interest for researchers and practitioners with interest in having a solid introduction to the areas defined in the School.
