13th MULTICONFERENCE ON CONTROL PROBLEMS (13 MCCP-2020) 6–8 October 2020 The 13th Multiconference on Control Problems , organized by the State Research Center of the Russian Federation - Concern CSRI Elektropribor (St. Petersburg, Russia) was held on October 6–8, 2020. Concern CSRI Elektropribor has held the multiconferences together with some research institutions and universities since 2006. The idea of holding the multiconference consists in uniting several local conferences, intimately related by the topics of scientific problems being considered. The Saint Petersburg Group of Russian National Committee on Automatic Control has become the initiator of such cooperation. The content of the Multiconference slightly changes from year to year, but the Conference in Memory of the Prominent Designer of Gyroscopic Devices N.N. Ostryakov, which has been held by CSRI Elektropribor every two years since 1956, remains a permanent part of the program. Traditionally, every even-numbered year the Multiconference is held at Concern CSRI Elektropribor, JSC (St. Petersburg), and every odd-numbered year — in Divnomorskoe town (Gelendzhik, Russia), where the A.V. Kalayev Research Institute of Multi-processor Computation Systems, Southern Federal University, is the main organizer.
