The organizers want to promote ALCOS 2022 as a forum where scientists and engineers from several research communities can meet to discuss issues related to the scope of the workshop.
The scientific program will contain plenary lectures, regular sessions, invited sessions. Prospective authors and organizers of invited sessions are invited to submit contributions on
http://ifac.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/start.pl
using the templates which can be found on
https://www.ifac-control.org/events/author-guide.
All contributions will be subject to review and assessment by the International Program Committee, before inclusion in the conference program.
Regular papers must present original, unpublished work which falls into the scope of the workshop and must not be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to six double-column pages.
Authors can also submit extended abstracts of at least 2000 words, describing preliminary work and/or with survey/tutorial content that will be subject to review and will be included in the preprints (USB-key) but will not appear in the on-line conference proceedings.
The International Program Committee encourages the submission of invited sessions with sets of six invited papers on a well-defined subject of current interest. These papers must present original, unpublished work and must not be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
An invited session should present a cohesive and comprehensive focus on a topic relevant to the scope of the workshop. It may start with a tutorial presentation which can be allotted a double time slot. In this case, five papers are sufficient to compose a session.
Authors of invited papers must also submit their papers.
How to submit an invited session proposal
Organizers of invited sessions should perform the following steps:
1. Contact potential authors to obtain a list of authors, paper titles and abstracts.
2. Write a four page session proposal. This should describe the theme and content, demonstrate its coherence, and argue its significance and relevance. The proposed session should profile 6 specified papers (or 5 when the first paper is a tutorial).
At a minimum, the proposal should contain the following information:
|
The name and full contact details of the session organizer. |
|
|
A description of the session theme and an argument supporting its significance. |
|
|
A list of the proposed session contributions, including titles, authors, and corresponding author of each paper. |
|
|
The abstract of each paper. |
Invited papers are solicited by an organizer of an invited session. The invited session code will be needed to complete the submission
Invited papers must present original, unpublished work which falls into the scope of the symposium and must not be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All invited papers will be subject to review and assessment by the International Program Committee,
All papers accepted for publication will be distributed to the participants on a USB-key together with a printed book of abstracts including the final program.
All publication material submitted for presentation at an IFAC-sponsored meeting (Congress, Symposium, Conference, Workshop) must be original and hence cannot be already published, nor can it be under review elsewhere. The authors take responsibility for the material that has been submitted. IFAC-sponsored conferences will abide by the highest standard of ethical behavior in the review process as explained on the Elsevier webpage
(https://www.elsevier.com/authors/journal-authors/policies-and-ethics)
and the authors will abide by the IFAC publication ethics guidelines
(https://www.ifac-control.org/events/organizers-guide/PublicationEthicsGuidelines.pdf/view).
Accepted papers that have been presented at an IFAC meeting will be published in the proceedings of the event using the open-access IFAC-PapersOnLine series hosted on ScienceDirect
(https://sciencedirect.com/). To this end, the author(s) must grant exclusive publishing rights to IFAC under a Creative Commons license when they submit the final version of the paper. The copyright belongs to the authors, who have the right to share the paper in the same terms allowed by the end user license, and retain all patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights (including research data).
