Signals, Identification, System Theory and Automation
 SISTA's major research objective is to contribute to the development of improved digital
(control and signal processing) systems, that incorporate advanced mathematical modeling techniques as
a crucial new ingredient.
To achieve this goal, a variety of research activities are set up, ranging from fundamental/theoretical work (signal theory, linear and nonlinear systems - including complex systems and neural networks - theory, circuit theory and control theory), to applications driven algorithm design and implementation.
SISTA draws concepts from mathematical fields such as linear and multi-linear algebra, statistics, discrete mathematics, differential geometry, optimization, etc. Its strategic basic research is focused on generic translations of basic concepts into algorithmic implementations, focusing on numerical linear algebra issues as well as software and hardware implementation issues.
 Our ultimate goal is to prove that such mathematical modeling based algorithms provide significant performance improvement.
To this aim, three specific application fields are targetted, namely digital communications, biomedicine and modeling and
control of industrial processes and mechatronic products.
SISTA consists of four subdivisions:   Bioinformatics (BIOI), Biomedical Data
Processing (BIOMED), Systems, Models and
Control (SMC), and Digital Signal
Processing for Audio and Telecom (DSP). Read more...
The SISTA expertise is applied in numerous industial projects and has lead to the creation of several spin-off companies.
