This conference on nonlinear control theory was organized within a special "Nonlinear Year" of the French "Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique". This volume is a collection of invited papers giving an overview of new trends in research all over the world. It was the aim of the editors to bring together theoretical contributions by pure mathematicians and more applied communications dedicated to robotics, electrical engines, biology and computer science.
