SCOPE

The FET Conference is the largest  IFAC technical event devoted to the
context  of   industrial and  embedded  networked   systems  and their
applications. Such systems integrate    more or less  smart   sensors,
actuators and  computing devices   which  are interconnected   through
communication means which  can be either  dedicated  or shared between
different applications.   Initially,  those communication   means were
wired   networks, mainly fieldbuses  or specific  real time local area
networks.   Nowadays, the communication  means  are broadened i-e they
include other  technologies  like wireless  technologies, more general
real-time  local  area  networks and also  internetworking  through IP
networks.  The  main  application   domains are  industry  automation,
embedded systems (such as avionics, trains, ships and automotive ones)
and  home automation. The purpose  of the  conference  is to provide a
forum to share  ideas and experiences,   in this area of  information,
communication  and cooperation  technologies  and theirs real-time and
dependable applications, between academic researchers,   practitioners
and service providers,  to  review current trends  and to  discuss new
research directions.  This new edition  will be the seventh.  Previous
conferences  were held  in  Vienna  (Austria) 1995,1997, in  Magdeburg
(Germany),  1999, in Nancy  (France), 2001, in Aveiro (Portugal), 2003
and in Puebla (Mexico), 2005.

FOCUS
- Distributed systems, Embedded systems, Multimedia systems, Networks,
   Heterogeneous networks, Internetworking, Network control, Networked
   Control Systems;
- System integration, Interoperability;
- Real-Time (Hard, Soft), Performances, Fault-Tolerance,
   Dependability, Security, Performability.

MAIN TOPICS
- Networks: Fieldbuses, Wireless networks, Sensor networks, Industrial
   networks, IP networks, Satellite, Real-time networks, Services,
   Protocols, Scheduling, Routing
- Architecture: Layers, Cross-layering, Middleware (Communication,
   Cooperation), Quality of Service (QoS)
- Applications: Industrial, Robotic, Process control, Production
   systems, Embedded systems (avionic, train, automotive, ship),
   Building automation, Hospital, Healthcare systems
- Analysis: Formal modeling, Verification, Evaluation, Validation,
   Simulation, Links between QoS and application requirements, Tools
- Cases studies: From the specification to the implementation


SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Two types of papers will be considered:
- Regular papers which report novel and significant contributions to
   the fields concerned by the conference.
- Work in progress papers which present recent ideas and on-going
   works related to the fields of the conference.

Authors are invited to submit in English electronically regular papers
(double column, 6-8 pages) and work in progress papers (double column,
not exceeding 4 pages).

The submission of the paper has to be done on this submission page:
                http://www.fet2007.org/Submissions/

COPYRIGHT CONDITIONS
The material submitted for  presentation at an IFAC meeting (Congress,
Symposium, Conference, Workshop)  must  be original, not published  or
being considered elsewhere. All papers  accepted for presentation will
appear in the Preprints of the meeting and  will be distributed to the
participants. Papers duly    presented at the  Congress, Symposia  and
Conferences will  be archived  and offered for  sale,  in the form  of
Proceedings,  by Elsevier Ltd, Oxford,  UK.  In the case of Workshops,
papers duly presented will be archived by  IFAC and may be offered for
sale,  in the form   of   Proceedings,  by Workshop  organizers.   The
presented papers will be  further screened for possible publication in
the IFAC  Journals  (Automatica, Control Engineering  Practice, Annual
Reviews in  Control,    Journal   of Process    Control    Engineering
Applications of Artificial Intelligence, and Mechatronics), or in IFAC
affiliated journals. All papers presented will be  recorded as an IFAC
Publication. Copyright of material  presented  at an IFAC  meeting  is
held by IFAC. Authors will be sent a copyright transfer form. The IFAC
Journals and,  after   these, IFAC affiliated  journals  have priority
access to all  contributions presented. However, if  the author is not
contacted by an editor of these journals within three months after the
meeting, he/she is  free  to re-submit  the  material  for publication
elsewhere. In this case, the paper must carry a  reference to the IFAC
meeting where it was originally presented.
