　　Supported by Foundation for Innovative Research Groups of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (61321002), and Projects of Major International (Regional) Joint Research Program National Natural Science Foundation of China (61120106010), the 2016TCCT Workshop on Cooperative Control and Multi-Agent Systems will be held on July 22-25 2016, Beijing, China. The workshop will provide a forum for exchanging ideas, discussing frontiers and emerging advances related to distributed cooperative control and multi-agent dynamic systems. The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading researchers and students who are working on or are interested in exploring novel approaches and innovative applications of multi-agent systems, facilitating personal interactions and discussions on various aspects of multi-agent systems. Flocking, formation, swarming, consensus, connectivity preservation, optimization method of multi-agent systems are all within the scope of the workshop.
　　The workshop has invited 11 world-class experts as speakers. Daizhan Cheng (Institute of Systems Science, AMSS), Jie Huang (Chinese University of Hong Kong ), Gary Feng (City University of Hong Kong), Jifeng Zhang  (Institute of Systems Science, AMSS), Benmei Chen (National University of Singapore), Lihua Xie (Nanyang Technological University), Zongli Lin (University of Virginia), Zhongping Jiang (New York University), Yiguang Hong (Institute of Systems Science, AMSS), Wei Ren  (University of California, Riverside), Lu Liu (City University of Hong Kong), will present their latest research results to the audience. 
　　The workshop has been held for four years and attracts more and more researchers’ attention. The workshop is free of charge and open for everyone interested. You and your colleagues are all warmly welcomed. Free lunch is provided for all participants.
