CALL FOR PAPERS
5th IFAC Symposium on Intelligent Components
and Instruments for Control Applications
SICICA 2003
July 9-11, 2003, Universidade de Aveiro
Aveiro, Portugal
http://www.det.ua.pt/eventos/sicica2003
SICICA 2003 is an international symposium aiming to bring together
scientists, suppliers and users of intelligent sensors, actuators and
instruments to discuss generic methodologies, techniques, developments and
subsystems for advanced control and measurement applications.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Functionalities (Measurement, actuation, configuration, diagnosis,
communication),
- Quality of Service and performance (Requirements, characterisation
services, management and implementation),
- Data handling techniques (Fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic
algorithms, rule-based approaches, data-fusion),
- Design methods and tools (Embedded OSs, languages, configuration,
validation, simulation, hardware/software co-design, dedicated circuits,
SoCs),
- Implementation and modelling of components and instruments
(Nanotechnologies, microsensors, microactuators, integrated sensors and
actuators, multi sensor systems, intelligent controllers, virtual
instruments),
- Communication networks and fieldbuses (Profiles, interoperability, service
d management),
- - Education (Curriculum development, experiments, best practices,
e-learning, distance learning, virtual laboratories, continuous education),
- Applications (Automotive systems, building automation, environmental
systems, factory automation, healthcare and medical applications, network
measurements, perception systems, process control, robotics, utilities).
