Dear Colleague,

The International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and
Robotics steering committee cordially invites you to submit a paper to
the ICINCO-2011 Conference (www.icinco.org), which has currently an
open call for papers whose deadline is scheduled for February 3rd.
ICINCO will be held in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, on July 28 -
31.

The conference program features a number of Keynote Lectures to be delivered by distinguished world-class researchers:
- Fumiya Iida, Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
- Bruno Siciliano, University of Naples Federico II, Italy
- Jay Lee, University of Cincinnati, U.S.A. 
(list not yet complete)

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. EGGF
Best paper awards will be given during the conference closing session.

Workshops and special sessions are also invited. If you wish to propose workshop or a special session, for example based on the results of a specific research project, please contact the secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea.

Should you have any question or suggestion please don't hesitate to contact me.


Kind regards,
Marina Carvalho
