ICINCO 20041st International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics
August 25 – 28, 2004 Setúbal, Portugal Web site: http://www.icinco.orgCo-sponsored by: IEEE Control Systems Society In cooperation with: AAAI, ACM and APPIA
** IMPORTANT DATES ** Full Paper Submission 15th February 2004 Author Notification 15th May 2004 Workshops Submission 15th April 2004 Final Camera-Ready Submission and Registration 5th June 2004
** SCOPE ** The purpose of the 1st International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics (ICINCO) is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the application of informatics to Control, Automation and Robotics. Three simultaneous tracks will be held, covering Intelligent Control Systems, Optimization, Robotics, Automation, Signal Processing, Systems Modeling and Control.
Informatics applications are pervasive in many areas of Control, Automation and Robotics; This conference intends to emphasize this connection, therefore, authors should highlight the benefits of Information Technology (IT) in these areas. Ideas on how to solve problems using IT, both in R&D and industrial applications, are welcome. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Papers describing original work are invited in any of the areas listed below. Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the Proceedings of ICINCO, with an ISBN. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. Both full research reports and work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will be both oral and poster sessions.
Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations, as well as tutorials dedicated to technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Additional information can be found at http://www.icinco.org/
** MAIN TOPIC AREAS ** Topics of Interest include but are not limited to:
AREA 1: Intelligent Control Systems and Optimization Decision support systems Distributed control systems Expert systems for industry Intelligent fault detection and identification Knowledge-based systems applications Machine learning in control applications Hybrid learning systems Mechatronic systems Neural networks based control systems Optimization algorithms Software agents for intelligent control systems Soft computing Fuzzy control Genetic algorithms Evolutionary computation and control
AREA 2: Robotics and Automation Robot design, development and control Human-robots interfaces Network robotics Mobile robots and autonomous systems Human augmentation and shared control Space and underwater robots Intelligent transportation technologies and systems Vehicle control applications Telerobotics and Teleoperation Industrial networks and automation Intelligent warehouses Modeling, simulation and architectures Vision, recognition and reconstruction Virtual Reality Image processing Surveillance Control and supervision systems Web-based control Autonomous agents Petri nets (system design/verification with nets, protocols and networks)
AREA 3: Signal Processing, Systems Modeling and Control Speech recognition Signal reconstruction Computer and microprocessor-based control Hierarchical control Instrumentation networks and software Field-buses Real-time systems control Environmental monitoring and control Time series and system modeling Time-frequency analysis Feature extraction Information-based models for control Discrete event systems Hybrid dynamical systems System identification Adaptive signal processing and control Nonlinear signals and systems Optimization problems in signal processing Change detection problems
** SUBMISSION OF PAPERS ** Authors should submit a complete paper in English of up to 8 A4 pages, using the submission procedure indicated below. The program committee will review all papers and the contact author of each paper will be notified of the result, by email. Each paper should clearly indicate the nature of its technical/scientific contribution, and the problems, domains or environments to which it is applicable. Authors must also indicate the conference track to which the paper is submitted. The paper must be carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling. Additional information can be found at http://www.icinco.org/
** PUBLICATIONS ** All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support. A book including a selection of the best conference papers will be edited and published by Kluwer Academic Publishers. The publication of extended versions of outstanding conference papers is also a possibility being discussed with several scientific journals.
** WORKSHOPS ** ICINCO expects to host several workshops. If you would like to propose the organization of a workshop to be held in conjunction with ICINCO 2004, please send an e-mail to workshops@icinco.org.
** TUTORIALS ** ICINCO 2004 will include several tutorials, to be lectured the day before the conference opening. If you would like to propose a tutorial for ICINCO 2004, please contact the secretariat as soon as possible. Proposals should specify the topic and scope of the tutorial, the background knowledge expected of the participants, and a short CV of the instructor(s).
** VENUE ** The conference will be held in Setúbal, a Portuguese city located in the right edge of the Sado River, in front of Tróia, approximately 48 km to the south- east of the Portuguese capital - Lisboa where we can find the airport. Setúbal is since 1926 capital of district and is one of the most interesting cities of Portugal, giving its visitors great fun activities, places and monuments and flaring landscapes, conjugated with an important industrial implantation. This city also has an harbor where people can visit Tróia using the ferryboats, and enjoy the beaches, the golf courses and ancient ruins.
