IEEE master brandA non-profit organization, IEEE is the world's leading professional association for the advancement of technology.

IEEE CSSThe IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) was founded in l954 as a scientific, engineering and professional organization dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practice of systems and control in engineering.

The 2012 IEEE Multi-Conference on Systems and Control (MSC 2012) will take place in Dubrovnik Palace Hotel, Dubrovnik, Croatia, on October 3-5, 2012.

MSC 2012 includes two international conferences sponsored and promoted by the IEEE Control Systems Society:
* the IEEE Conference on Control Applications (CCA), and,
* the IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control (ISIC).

MSC 2012 will be a three-day event, preceded by a full day of Tutorials and Workshops. The conference proceedings will be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by INSPEC and Ei-Compendex.

CALL FOR PAPERS [ pdf iconPDF ]

The program committee solicits original research papers to be considered for presentation at the conference and publication in conference proceedings. Special/invited session proposals, tutorial proposals, and workshop proposals are also welcome.

Topics of interest and instructions for conference contribution are listed below.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

MSC 2012 areas of interest traditionally include a wide range of topics in control systems, technology, and applications.

This year, in addition to such topics, we would like to address new and emerging research areas in control, such as:

  • - systems of systems
  • - robotics
  • - intelligent autonomous systems and computational intelligence
  • - architectures for intelligent control
  • - control inspired by systems biology (entirely new theoretical and application problems arise when addressing questions in the field of systems biology)
  • - vision in control
  • - control theory in psychology and sociology
  • - next generation healthcare and healthcare delivery
  • - fuzzy discrete event systems
  • - quantum control and quantum feedback control
  • - application of control theory in economics
  • - networked control systems
  • - control applications in new energy resources
  • - energy grid control
  • - cloud computing in control applications
  • - marine control systems
  • - automotive control systems
  • - control of constrained systems
  • - manufacturing systems control (planning and scheduling)

PAPER SUBMISSION AND REVIEW

The conference will use IEEE CSS's conference management system PaperPlaza for paper submission, review, and author registration processes.

Papers submitted to MSC 2012 must be original, not previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere, and they must not be submitted to any other event or publication during the entire review process. IEEE policy regarding plagiarism, self-plagiarism and duplicate submission/publication will be strictly enforced. Papers must be submitted electronically by the submission deadline through http://css.paperplaza.net/. Submitted papers will undergo a peer review process, coordinated by the Program Committee. Submission of a paper implies that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors must register and present the paper at the conference.

PAPER FORMAT

Paper submissions should follow the IEEE double-column format for conferences (templates will be available on the conference Web site). A maximum of 8 pages (6 plus 2 additional pages incurring a nominal fee) are allowed for each paper, all figures and references included. Templates for LaTeX and MS Word are available inside PaperPlaza's Support Menu. See detailed instructions for manuscript preparation.

SPECIAL/INVITED SESSION PROPOSALS

Proposals should be submitted by e-mail to the Invited Sessions Chair, Zdenko Kovacic (zdenko dot kovacic at fer.hr) by the due date. A special/invited session proposal should contain the session organizer(s) short bio and contact information, the special session title, summary, and objectives, and the list of authors and papers to be included in the session. Papers must be submitted electronically in final form by the due date, stating on the front page the special session title. Special/invited session papers will follow the standard peer review process.

WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

A Workshop/Tutorial proposal should focus on a specific theme related to the main conference topics, describing objectives and expected outcomes. The tutorial proposal should contain the tutorial summary and outline and the presenter's short bio and contact information. The workshop proposal should include the workshop chair(s) short bio and contact information, and the list of speakers. Proposals should be submitted by e-mail to the Tutorials and Workshops Chair, Bozenna Pasik Duncan (bozenna at math.ku.edu) by the due date. Workshop/Tutorial proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the technical program committee members.
