2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
1st IFAC Conference on Embedded Systems,
Computational Intelligence and Telematics in Control
April 3-5, 2012
Würzburg, Germany

SCOPE

The conference focuses on theories, applications and developments in control related research fields, covering three major topics: computers for control, computational intelligence in control and control via communication networks.
Computers for control considers a broad range of computer-based control systems, spanning from system architectures, inter-computer communications, man-machine interfaces for real-time distributed computer control systems to programmable logic controllers, Fieldbus and standards-based platforms and environments, etc.
Computational intelligence in control focuses on all aspects of knowledge-based, fuzzy, neuro-fuzzy and neural (both artificial and biologically plausible) systems and evolutionary algorithms relevant to control, both theoretical and application driven.
Control via communication networks encourages topics of computerized and telecommunication-based automation systems, providing services to remote equipment. This addresses systems integrating methods of remote control, cooperative communication for remote applications, and remote sensor data acquisition.

TOPICS

Topics for papers and demonstrations include:
* Computer/system architectures for control e.g. in robot-formations, satellite swarms, etc.
* Fieldbus and standards-based platforms & environments
* Logical design, physical design and implementation
* Programmable logic controllers (PLC's), Inter-computer communications
* Local-area networks, Cooperative communication for remote applications
* Man-machine interfaces for distributed control systems, e.g for mobile & medical robots
* Modeling, identification, stability analysis & adaptation in space & robotic applications
* Forecasting, learning and evolutionary algorithms
* Brain-computer interfacing, bioinformatics, medical robotics
* Predictable time and behavior under failure conditions, Reliability and maintainability
* Remote control methods, in particular networked, supervisory and distributed control
* Remote sensor data acquisition, Telematics applications, remote industrial automation
* Specific application areas, e.g. traffic control, automotive, medical robotics, etc.
* Embedded systems applications, industrial projects, case studies
