Invitation

The Organizing Committee has the pleasure of inviting you to participate in the 13th IFAC Symposium on System Identification, SYSID-2003, to be held in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, August 27-29, 2003.

Scope

The IFAC Symposium on System Identification (SYSID) is organized every three years and aims to promote the research and development activities between people working in the areas of system identification, experimental modeling, parameter estimation, signal analysis and adaptive control. The scope of the symposium covers all major aspects of these areas, ranging from theoretical, methodological and scientific developments to a large variety of (engineering) application areas. It is the intention of the organizers to promote SYSID 2003 as a meeting place where scientists and engineers from several research communities can meet to discuss issues related to these areas.

To enhance the applications and industrial perspective of the symposium, participation by authors from industry is particularly encouraged.

Relevant topics for the symposium program include:

  • Identification of linear and multivariable systems
  • Identification of nonlinear systems, including neural networks
  • Identification of hybrid and distributed systems
  • Identification for control
  • Experimental modelling in process control
  • Vibration and modal analysis
  • Model validation, monitoring and fault detection
  • Signal processing and communication
  • Parameter estimation and inverse modelling
  • Statistical analysis and uncertainty bounding
  • Adaptive control and data-based controller tuning
  • Learning, data mining and Bayesian approaches
  • Sequential Monte Carlo methods, including particle filtering
  • Applications in process control systems, motion control systems, robotics, aerospace systems, bioengineering and medical systems, physical measurement systems, automotive systems, econometrics, transportation and communication systems

Program

The scientific program will consist of
  • plenary and semi-plenary lectures by invited speakers,
  • regular (contributed) paper presentations in oral and poster sessions
  • invited sessions,
  • software sessions, presenting and demonstrating industrial, educational and research software.
In particular, case studies and technological contributions integrating theory and practice are encouraged.

All contributed papers will be subject to a review process. Accepted papers will be assigned to an oral or poster session according to the author's preference and the IPC decision. For each accepted paper, at least one author is requested to register for the symposium upon delivery of the final paper. All accepted papers will be published in the symposium preprints which will be available at the symposium.

Paper submission

Prospective authors, organizers of invited sessions, and people interested in making software contributions are invited to submit contributions for regular and software sessions or invited session proposals electronically. Please see the home page of the submission site for all details concerning the symposium publications, submission procedures, manuscript preparations, IFAC copyright conditions and electronic manuscript delivery.

Prospective organizers of invited sessions are invited to submit a set of six invited papers with a well-defined cohesive focus on a topic relevant to the symposium. Invited sessions may start with a tutorial presentation. Contributions to invited sessions can be extended abstracts of at least 2000 words showing the principal contribution of the paper so as to allow for an informed peer review. Please consult the information on invited sessions or the home page of the submission site for more details.

All submitted papers will be reviewed by the International Program Committee and are subject to the IFAC copyright conditions.

The deadline for paper submissions (Monday, November 25, 2002. (EXPIRED) ) is over. Submissions will no longer be possible.

IFAC Copyright conditions

The material submitted for presentation at an IFAC meeting (congress, symposium, conference, workshop) must be original, not published or being considered elsewhere. All papers for presentation will appear in the Preprints of the meeting and will be distributed to the participants. Papers duly presented will be archived and offered for sale, in the form of Proceedings, by Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, UK. The papers which have been presented will be further screened for possible publication in the IFAC Journals Automatica and Control Engineering Practice, or in IFAC affiliated journals. All papers presented will be recorded in Control Engineering Practice.

Copyright of material presented at an IFAC meeting is held by IFAC. Authors will be sent a copyright transfer form. Automatica, Control Engineering Practice and, after these, IFAC affiliated journals have priority access to all contributions presented. However, if the author is not contacted by an editor of these journals, within three months after the meeting, the author is free to re-submit the material for publication elsewhere. In this case, the paper must carry a reference to the the IFAC meeting where it was originally presented.
