ICINCO
is organized by INSTICC - Institute for Systems and Technologies
of Information, Control and Communication.
SCOPE
The
purpose of the 1st International Conference on Informatics in
Control, Automation and Robotics (ICINCO) is to bring together
researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the application
of informatics to Control, Automation and Robotics. Three simultaneous
tracks will be held, covering Intelligent Control Systems, Optimization,
Robotics, Automation, Signal Processing, Systems Modeling and
Control.
Informatics applications are pervasive in many areas of Control,
Automation and Robotics; This conference intends to emphasize
this connection, therefore, authors should highlight the benefits
of Information Technology (IT) in these areas. Ideas on how to
solve problems using IT, both in R&D and industrial applications,
are welcome. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools
and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions
are also encouraged. Papers describing original work are invited
in any of the areas listed below. Accepted papers, presented at
the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the
Proceedings of ICINCO, with an ISBN. Acceptance will be based
on quality, relevance and originality. Both full research reports
and work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will be both oral
and poster sessions.
Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations,
as well as tutorials dedicated to technical/scientific topics
are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies
or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to
contact the conference secretariat. Additional information can
be found at http://www.icinco.org/.

VENUE
The conference will be held in Setúbal, a Portuguese city located
on the right bank of Sado River, in front of Tróia, approximately
48 km to the south-east of the Portuguese capital - Lisboa where
we can find the airport.
Setúbal is since 1926 capital of district and is one of the most
interesting cities of Portugal, giving its visitors great fun
activities, places and monuments and flaring landscapes, conjugated
with an important industrial implantation. This city also has
an harbor where people can visit Tróia using the ferryboats, and
enjoy the beaches, the golf courses and ancient ruins.
