DESCRIPTION:In this talk we present a framework for applications-oriented 
 experiment design for dynamic systems. The idea is to generate a design su
 ch that certain performance criteria of the application are satisfied with
  high probability. We discuss how to approximate this problem by a convex 
 optimization problem and how to address Achilles' heel of optimal experime
 nt design\, i.e.\, that the optimal design depends on the true system. We 
 also elaborate on how the cost of an identification experiment is related 
 to the performance requirements of the application and the importance of e
 xperiment design in reduced order modeling. We illustrate the methods on s
 ome problems from control and systems theories. \n
