Call for Papers 10th IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON INTELLIGENT CONTROL August 27 - 29, 1995 MONTEREY MARRIOTT HOTEL MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA 93940 USA SCOPE The central theme of the tenth IEEE / ISIC will be threefold: Hybrid Systems, Integrated Control and Diagnostics, and, Non-conventional Robotic Applications. Recent advances in technology and the ever increasing system complexity requires new innovative approaches to systems modeling, analysis, synthesis, and control. Hybrid systems, containing both continuous and discrete state systems interacting with each other, are essential for designing autonomous control systems. Integrated control and diagnostics is required for real-time, on-line failure detection, identification and recovery of complex systems, and requires information fusion from a diverse set of sources, i.e., sensors, controllers, databases, etc. Robotics and automation has matured to the point that robotics based applications are expanding to non-conventional fields including applications in the textiles / apparel industry, composites and the medical field. Virtual Reality and Multi-media are playing an increasing role in telerobotics (telemanipulation, teleoperation), virtual manufacturing and prototyping. Thus, the Symposium objectives are to discuss and present the most recent advances in the field. This year, emphasis will be given to enhance the European participation and encourage scientists and researchers from Europe to submit contributed papers and / or proposals for invited sessions and tutorials. TOPICS Symposium topics include, but are not limited to: adaptive control, applications / implementations (aircraft / spacecraft, automotive systems / IVHS, composites, consumer products, manufacturing systems, process control, robotics, textiles / apparel industry, underwater / land vehicles), architectures for intelligent control, autonomous control systems, CIM and FMS systems, computer control, design techniques for intelligent controllers, discrete event systems, distributed intelligent control, failure detection and identification, fuzzy systems / fuzzy control, hierarchical intelligent control, hybrid systems, knowledge-based and expert systems, linear and nonlinear systems, machine learning / adaptive systems, man-machine systems, mathematical analysis of intelligent systems, modeling of intelligent systems, multi-sensor fusion / integration, neural networks / neural control, numerical methods, planning and scheduling systems, quality control, real-time software, reconfigurable control, telerobotics, virtual prototyping, and virtual reality applications. INVITED SESSIONS / TUTORIALS Four copies of proposals for: invited sessions including all full papers and a cover letter indicating the scope of the proposed session, or, tutorials including a detailed outline of the proposed topic, must be submitted to the Invited Sessions / Tutorials Chair by MARCH 15, 1995. Invited sessions may include survey papers and possibly a panel discussion. IMPORTANT DATES March 15, 1995: Full Papers, Proposals, Due April 30, 1995: Notification of Acceptance / Rejection May 31, 1995: Final, Camera Ready Papers, Due PAPER SUBMISSION FIVE copies of the full paper in final form must be received for peer review by the Program Chair or Program Co-chair by MARCH 15, 1995. Papers should be submitted in final format with a 2-column format on 8.5 by 11 inch sheets. Each column is limited to 3 1/4 inch in width and 8 7/8 inch in length with a 3/8 inch gutter between columns. The margins are 13/16 inch on the sides, 1 1/16 inch on the top and bottom. Text is to be typed single spaced in 10 point Times Roman (or a font closely resembling this type), with 12 point inter-line spacing. The first page of the paper, centered on the top below the top margin, should include the paper title, the authors' names, and their affiliations. Six pages are allowed for each paper. Up to two additional pages will be permitted for a charge of $100 for each additional page. Illustrations are included in the page count. Papers will be reviewed by the International Program Committee. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by APRIL 30, 1995. The final, camera ready papers must be mailed no later than MAY 31, 1995. General Chair: Kimon P.
