<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Following the success of the FeBID workshops over the past six years, we debut the Feedback Computing workshop: a unique forum built around the concepts and technologies of applying, analyzing, designing, and exploiting feedback in computing systems. The creation of this new workshop represents the growing use of feedback in a broader agenda and is a timely response to the following two trends: (1) Computing systems are growing larger, smarter, and more complex, and encompass new fields such as cyber-physical systems, social networks, and mobile applications. While much existing work focuses on individual components and systems, it is time to take a more systematic approach and address the dynamical complexity of interactions that arise system-wide with much large scale. (2) Many research disciplines such as machine learning, mathematical optimization, automatic control, cyber-physical systems, and autonomic computing rely on feedback to achieve goals such as autonomy, learning, adaptation, stabilization, robustness, or performance optimization. However, much of existing work focuses on isolated disciplines. It is time to take a more holistic approach and address the foundations and use of feedback, broadly defined, in computing.</font><br>
