A systematic way of calculating conservation laws for nonconservative optimal control problems is given. As a corollary, the conserved quantities previously obtained in the literature for nonconservative problems of mechanics and the calculus of variations are derived.To be presented at "13th IFAC Workshop on Control Applications of Optimisation", 26-28 April 2006, Paris - Cachan, France.
