Preliminary CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------------------------------------------------------- 9th IEEE International Workshop on Factory Communication Systems COMMUNICATION in AUTOMATION (WFCS 2012) May 21 - 24, 2012, Lemgo/Detmold, Germany -------------------------------------------------------------------- Conference web site: http://www.init-owl.de/wfcs2012/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE: The WFCS workshop is the largest IEEE technical event specially dedicated to industrial communication systems. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners and developers to review current trends in this area and to present and discuss new ideas and new research directions. -------------------------------------------------------------------- FOCUS ON: - Real-time and Dependability in Industrial Communication Systems: message scheduling; task allocation; fault-tolerant communication; performance analysis; safety and security issues; synchronization. - System Integration in Industrial Automation Systems: vertical and life-cycle aspects, web-based setup, maintenance, and configuration; transparency vs. security; data-flow management; internetworking; hybrid wired/wireless industrial infrastructures. - Information and Communication Technology in Automation: system design; component-based systems, web frameworks; mobile computing; modelling and specification techniques; formal methods. - Recent advances in research domains with similar technical requirements: networked control systems; wireless sensor networks; building automation networks; automotive and train-control networks; distributed real-time embedded systems. -------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP TOPICS: Fieldbus networks Real-time communication and applications Industrial Ethernet networks Web-based communication and applications IP-based networks Distributed application platforms Industrial wireless networks Safety & security in industrial communications Networked embedded systems Fault-tolerance in industrial communications Sensor networks Configuration tools & network management Building automation networks Internetworking & interoperability Automotive and train-control networks System aspects Factory and Process automation networks Case studies -------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: The WFCS workshop is seeking two kinds of submissions. All submitted contributions (in English language) must contain original unpublished work. Papers that have been concurrently submitted to other conferences or journals (double submissions) will be automatically rejected. REGULAR PAPERS: Up to 10 double-column pages in IEEE format, reporting on novel and significant contributions to the field of industrial communication systems. WORK-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS: Up to 4 double-column pages, describing research that has not yet produced the results required for a regular paper, but that due its novelty and potential impact deserves to be shared with the community at an early stage. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AUTHOR'S SCHEDULE: Deadline for submission of regular papers: December 9, 2011 Notification of acceptance of regular papers: February 3, 2012 Deadline for submission of work-in-progress papers: February 10, 2012 Notification of acceptance of work-in-progress papers: March 5, 2012 Deadline for submission of final manuscripts (regular,WIP): March 12, 2012 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL CO-CHAIRS Juergen Jasperneite, Institut Industrial IT/Fraunhofer IOSB-INA, Germany Thilo Sauter, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austria PROGRAM COMMITTEE CO-CHAIRS Thomas Nolte, Mälardalen University, Sweden Andreas Willig, University of Canterbury, New Zealand HONORARY CO-CHAIRS Peter Neumann, ifak, Germany Dietmar Dietrich, TU Wien, Austria INDUSTRY DAY AND PANEL DISCUSSION CO-CHAIRS Martin Wollschlaeger, Technical University of Dresden, Germany WIP CO-CHAIRS Liliana Cucu-Grosjean, INRIA, France Paulo Pedreiras, University of Aveiro, Portugal FINANCE CHAIR Stefan Heiss, Institut Industrial IT, Germany LOCAL ORGANIZING CO-CHAIRS Benedikt Lücke, Institut Industrial IT, Germany Sebastian Schriegel, Fraunhofer IOSB-INA, Germany Henning Trsek, Institut Industrial IT, Germany WFCS SERIES STEERING COMITTEE Jean-Dominique Decotignie, CSEM, Switzerland Dietmar Dietrich, Technical University of Vienna, Austria Joseph Fuertes, Univ.
