The final paper submission site of the SYSID webserver is password protected. The
corresponding author of an accepted paper has received an Access
Code for each accepted paper. The AccessCode has been sent to you by email
and is coupled with your PaperID in that it allows access to all specific
information concerning one manuscript (regular paper, invited session contribution
or software contribution) identified by the PaperID and the AccessCode.
As corresponding author you are asssumed to pass the AccessCode to your
co-authors so as to share all information concerning your manuscript with
your co-authors. The corresponding author is responsible for the coordination
of the work.
All AccessCodes will (automatically) expire on April 15,
2003. This expiration date is strict and will not be extended.
After April 15, you will need a special authorization from the IPC secratariat to
access the final paper submission site of the SYSID webserver with a new AccessCode.
Requests for such authorizations should be done by email to the
IPC secretariat, and
will (and can) not be handled before April 15.
There are various ways to enter the final paper submision site and/or the personalized
author's pages.
- your paper notification email contains a direct link to your personalized
author's pages.
- the SYSID-2003 home page http://www.sysid2003.nl,
gives access to the final paper submission site by clicking on "authors and speakers".
- the main page of the final paper submission site
http://www.sysid2003.nl/finalsubmission/index.php
gives access after filling in your PaperID and your AccessCode.
If you wish to make corrections, changes or updates to any of the forms or files
that already have been submitted or uploaded, simply click on the form again.
All forms will be reloaded with the (last entered) data that you
submitted. All forms can therefore be re-submitted, re-worked or double-checked as often as you like.
Re-uploads of your final manuscript with the paper upload form are also possible
(till the submission deadline) and will cause all earlier submissions to be overwritten
(independent of the file name that you supply). The "reset" button (when present)
clears the form but not the last submitted entries
in the database. In all cases, only the last submitted data is stored
in our database.
The International Program Committee (IPC) reviewed all submitted papers and invited
session proposals. All papers have been reviewed by two members of the IPC. The
evaluation results of your paper have been made available via the web. The numerical
scores have the following meaning:
- 5: excellent
- 4: good
- 3: sufficient
- 2: insufficient
- 1: poor
- 0: not suitable for this conference
- 99: not reviewed
In preparing the final version of your manuscript, please take note of the
following important points:
- Authors must ensure that the IFAC/Elsevier style and layout guidelines
are adhered to exactly and that the final paper does not exceed the page
limit of 6 pages.
This means that final papers, from all paper categories of the symposium
(REG, SWR and ISC), are limited to 6 pages and are supposed to be typeset
in double column format suitable for direct printing onto A4 paper (8.3in x
11.7in/210mm x 297mm), using Times Roman 10pt typeface, without page
numbering, and with fully embedded figures, tables and fonts.
- All final papers must be uploaded electronically as a
Portable Document Format or as a
PostScript
file by using the paper upload form on your author's page.
In spite of what is stated on the Elsevier site, we do not accept
final papers in MS Word (.doc) format or compressed files (of any type), and
we do not accept submissions by email.
- Final manuscripts must be received by the SYSID webserver on April 15,
2003..
All Access Codes issued to the corresponding authors of accepted papers will
expire after this deadline. This deadline will be strictly enforced!
For the official IFAC guidelines for manuscript preparation we refer to
the IFAC-Elsevier publications site:
Especially if automatic typesetting is not possible for you, we strongly suggest to
check the publications details on this site.
To automatically typeset your paper in the requested IFAC paper format, please
follow the links of your favorite text processor in the following table.
A sample document in PDF format can be previewed.
The final version of your manuscript should be uploaded to the SYSID webserver
with the paper upload form on your author's page. Note that only
postscript (PS) or
portable document format (PDF) files will be
accepted. Before uploading your manuscript, please use the
We do not accept documents in Word (.doc) format.
Files larger than 2MB may not be accepted by our webserver. We strongly recommend
to keep your file below this size. If this is not possible, please contact the
IPC secretariat for a
manual upload.
Further details and problems
For all further details concerning manuscript preparation, please see the
IFAC-Elsevier
Publications website. For upload problems, please contact Siep Weiland at the
IPC secretariat.
Why?
Please verify and (possibly) update the registered paper details of your paper
with the paper update form.
At this time you may still change the title, authors and keywords of your
paper. he information that you provide on the paper update form will be used for the
final program, for the scheduling of your presentation in an appropriate session
and for the generation of the author's list.
How?
Please make sure that the paper details on the form exactly match
the paper details of your final paper. Concerning the paper update form:
- do not use capitals in the title of your paper, except for the first character
of the title, for abbreviations and for person names. Mathematical symbols in the
title should be entered as in LaTeX.
- do not use capitals in the author's names, except for the first characters in
person names.
- please compare the keywords provided by the International Program Committee
in the review evaluations with the keywords listed on the paper update form.
The paper update form lists the keywords that you provided upon first submission
of the paper. If the reviewer's suggestion for keywords is more adequate,
we recommend that you change your keywords.
An example of an Affiliation is "Eindhoven University of Technology". Examples
of a Department are "Department of Electrical Engineering" or "Division of
Modeling and System Identification".
Why?
Authors must have taken the necessary steps to obtain permission to use any
material that might be protected by copyright. Authors must agree to transfer copyright
of their paper to IFAC. Papers cannot be published unless they have been released from
all patent and proprietary restrictions.
A signed copyright form transfers copyright in the paper to IFAC. For legal reasons,
the original completed and signed copyright form must be available in hardcopy. Thus
authors must return the completed and signed copyright form by regular mail to the
IPC secretariat.
How?
Please print out a hard copy of the form (a pdf file of 107kB), complete the form
and send it by regular mail to the IPC
Secretariat. We would be very pleased if you
indicate your paper identification number in the top-line after: "Our reference"
on the form.
See the IFAC copyright conditions for
details and conditions.
Why?
A short abstract of all accepted papers will appear in the Final Program
which will be in your conference registration package. The text of the
abstract should be a concise summary of the contents of your presentation
and paper.
How?
The abstract should be approximately 80 words, not exceed the length of 100
words, and should be submitted through the abstract submission form.
Please use plain ASCII text in the abstract submission form and
avoid the use of equations and escape characters. Especially, do not paste
text in the abstract field that has been generated by word processors that
include non-ASCII command strings (like MS Word). If
equations or mathematical symbols are necessary, please enter them as
LaTeX source code, making sure that you do not assume the use of any package
or LaTeX macro other than the standard "latexsym" package. We will include
and compile your abstract directly from your submission in the Final Program
and not be held responsible for compilation errors in the abstracts.
Why?
IFAC always requires authors to present their paper at the meeting. You must present
your paper at the meeting in order for it to be included in the official Symposium
Proceedings and to have it considered for recommendation to the IFAC journals and
affiliated journals. It is for this reason that at least one of the authors needs
to register for the symposium.
How?
On the presenting author form you will need to indicate which
author of your paper will present the paper and register for the symposium.
This form is not meant as a registration form. To register for SYSID-2003,
you are referred to the
SYSID-2003 registration site.
For all further questions, please contact the IPC
secretariat.
