Paper submission

Full draft paper submission
 

A call is issued for two types of full draft papers:

• regular papers with a maximum of 8 pages and 4 MB
• short papers, presenting industrial research projects, with a maximum of 4 pages and 2.5 MB

in PDF format complying with IFAC-PapersOnLine guidelines.

Short papers target industrial practitioners who wish to present and discuss research work underway in a rigorous way but with fewer theoretical insights or implementation details than those required for a regular paper.

All papers must be original, written in English, and submitted in their final form at the paper submission website IFAC Papercept: http://ifac.papercept.net/.

Papers must comply with IFAC style requirements. Please refer to http://www.ifac-control.org/events/information-for-ifac-authors for instructions on how to prepare your paper in the appropriate form. The most relevant IFAC links are given hereafter for your convenience.

IFAC Copyright conditions
The material submitted for presentation at an IFAC meeting (Congress, Symposium, Conference, Workshop) must be original, not published or being considered elsewhere. All papers accepted for presentation will appear in the Preprints of the meeting and will be distributed to the participants. Papers duly presented at the IFAC Congress, Symposia, Conferences and Workshops will be hosted on-line on the IFAC-PapersOnLine.net website. The presented papers will be further screened for possible publication in the IFAC journals (Automatica, Control Engineering Practice, Annual Reviews in Control, Journal of Process Control, Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, and Mechatronics), or in IFAC affiliated journals. All papers presented will be recorded as an IFAC Publication.

Copyright of material presented at an IFAC meeting is held by IFAC. Authors will be required to transfer copyrights electronically. The IFAC journals and, after these, IFAC affiliated journals have priority access to all contributions presented. However, if the author is not contacted by an editor of these journals, within three months after the meeting, he/she is free to submit an expanded version of the presented material for journal publication elsewhere. In this case, the paper must carry a reference to the IFAC meeting where it was originally presented and, if the paper has appeared on the website IFAC-PapersOnLine.net, also a reference to this publication.
