Symposium Preprints and Proceedings

The scientific program of SYSID 2003 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. Under the terms of the agreement between IFAC and the publisher, all accepted papers will be distributed to the participants of the meeting in the form of a CD-ROM containing the Symposium Preprints. Elsevier will publish the Proceedings after the meeting. The Proceedings contain accepted and presented papers only.

What to submit

Prospective authors are invited to submit contributions for regular or software sessions electronically through this site. All submitted contributions must be written in English and must comply with the IFAC format, detailed in the instructions for authors. Submissions can be made in either postscript (ps) or pdf-format, and are limited to 6 pages.

Prospective organizers of invited sessions are invited to submit a set of five or six invited papers with a well-defined cohesive focus on a topic relevant to the symposium. See the scope of 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.

All submitted material must be original, unpublished and must not be considered for publication elsewhere. Final papers will be subject to the IFAC copyright conditions. Under the terms of the agreement between IFAC and the publisher, the IFAC journals, and after that IFAC affiliated journals have priority access to papers presented at the meeting.

Apart from the usual oral presentations, the International Program Committee plans to organize special poster sessions for presentation and special sessions on software demonstrations. The poster sessions and the software demonstration sessions will run concurrently with the other conference sessions. Papers in poster and software sessions will be treated the same as papers in the oral presentation sessions. That is, they will be selected with the same standards.

All submitted papers will undergo the same review process. Accepted papers will be assigned to lecture or poster sessions according to the author's preference and depending on the nature of the work. No value ranking is implied. Poster and lecture papers will be allowed the same number of pages in the Symposium Proceedings and the same level of quality is expected.
