CALL FOR PAPERS
It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 11th Conference on Automatic Control – CONTROLO 2014, to be held in Porto, Portugal, from 21 to 23 July 2014. This conference is organized by INESC TEC (Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering of Porto), in partnership with FEUP (Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto), ISEP (School of Engineering – Polytechnic of Porto) and APCA the Portuguese Association of Automatic Control which is a national member organization of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC).
CONTROLO’2014 will provide an excellent opportunity for presenting new results and to discuss the latest research and developments in the field of automatic control. The conference is intended as an international forum where an effective exchange of knowledge and experience amongst researchers active in various theoretical and applied areas of systems and control can take place. Participation of engineers and other scientists from industry is particularly welcome. CONTROLO 2014 also encourages the submission of Special Sessions on well-defined subjects of current interest belonging to the scope of the conference. Authors that wish to organize a Special Session in CONTROLO 2014 should first contact the organization.
The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Electrical Engineering that are indexed by ISI Proceedings, EI-Compendex, SCOPUS, EI Compendex, MetaPress, Springerlink.
Contributions are welcome in both theoretical developments and practical implementations in all areas involving systems and control. The main topics include, but are not limited to:
• Adaptive control • Aerospace control • Agricultural processes • Automotive control • Behavioral systems • Biotechnological and environmental systems • Control applications • Control architectures • Control education • Control Teaching • Control technology, sensors and actuators • Control theory • Discrete-event systems • Distributed control • Emerging control technologies • Fault-tolerant control • Fuzzy and neuro-fuzzy systems • Genetic algorithms • Hardware for control systems • Hybrid systems • Industrial automation • Industrial networking • Instrumentation • Linear and nonlinear control • Manufacturing systems and scheduling • Marine control • Mechatronics Modelling, simulation and identification • Networked Fault Tolerant Control • Neural networks • Optimal control • Process control • Real time systems architectures • Remote control (web) • Remote Laboratories in Control Education • Renewable energy • Robotics and automation • Robust control • Sensors • Smart structures control • Stochastic control • Transportation systems • Virtual Laboratories • Wireless Applications
