CALL FOR PAPERS 4th International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics - ICINCO 2007 web site: http://www.icinco.org May 9 - 12, 2007 Angers, France Co-sponsored by IFAC and GDR MACS In cooperation with AAAI Hosted by the University of Angers / ISTIA (Institut des Sciences et Techniques de l'Ingénieur d'Angers Organized by INSTICC - Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication Proceedings indexed by: INSPEC and DBLP ************************************************************** Dear Colleague, The International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics Committee cordially invites you to participate in the ICINCO-2007 Conference, to be held in Angers/France a city located in the Loire valley not far from Paris. ICINCO is currently on its 4th edition and it is already a world-class conference and a top reference in its area, where prestigious researchers and invited keynote speakers come to present their work (http://www.icinco.org/Previous_Invited_Speakers.htm). The deadline for paper submission is January 10. You may check the conference web site (http://www.icinco.org) for further details. Bellow, you will find some information about dates and conference areas. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support. A book including a selection of the best conference papers will be edited and published by Springer. The International journal Integrated Computer-Aided Engineering will also publish a selection of ICINCO 2007 best papers. We are also inviting the proposal of Special Sessions (see http://www.icinco.org/Special_Sessions.htm) and Workshops (see http://www.icinco.org/Workshops.htm). Looking forward to receiving you paper submission next January. Don't hesitate contacting me should you have any questions. Best regards, Marina Carvalho ICINCO Secretariat Av.
