Contributors are invited to submit papers that, if accepted, will be scheduled for oral or poster presentation. All accepted papers will appear in the preprints of the meeting and will be hosted on-line on the IFAC-PapersOnLine.net website. All papers presented will be recorded as an IFAC Publication. When preparing the paper manuscript the authors should adhere to the IFAC style files for conference papers. Further information on how to prepare a manuscript using the IFAC style files can be found here.

The submission deadline for contributed papers is  April 22, 2015 and further guidelines for the preparation and submission of contributions can be found here.

A PDF version of the Call for Papers can be downloaded here.
