Subject: 2nd CFP Int'l Conf. on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics - ICINCO Date: Wednesday 10 December 2003 17:17 From: "ICINCO Secretariat" secretariat@icinco.org To: "Gustaf Neumann" gustaf.neumann@wu-wien.ac.at

Dear Gustaf Neumann,

ICINCO-2004 ("International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics") will be held in Setubal (Portugal) next year, on August 25-28. The deadline for paper submission is February 15. Please check further details at the conference web site (http://www.icinco.org) to see whether any of the tracks of ICINCO-2004 interests you. Information about dates and main topic areas is also provided below.

All the accepted papers will be published under an ISBN. Furthermore, we will have the best papers of the conference published in a book of selected papers, by Kluwer Academic Publishers. We are also inquiring with some journals about the possibility to publish extended versions of selected ICINCO-2004 papers.

The conference is held in collaboration with some world class prestigious associations including AAAI, ACM and APPIA, and is also co-sponsored by IFAC and IEEE Control Systems Society

Furthermore, we are happy to inform you that the conference program includes a list of very interesting keynote lectures which will be presented by distinguished international researchers (http://www.icinco.org/Keynote%20Lectures.htm)

Please don't hesitate to contact me, should you have any question.

Best regards, Bruno Encarnação (ICINCO Secretariat)

P.S.: Please accept our apologies if this information is not of your interest. In that case please reply with "remove" in the message subject. ____________________________________________________________ ICNCO 2004 web site: http://www.icinco.org E-mail: secretariat@icinco.org
