CALL FOR PAPERS

International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics %G�%@ ICINCO 2005

September 14 - 17, 2005, Barcelona - Spain
http://www.icinco.org


The deadline for paper submission is February 25. You may check the
conference web site (http://www.icinco.org) for further
details. Bellow, you will find some information about dates and
conference main topic areas.

All the accepted papers will be published under an ISBN. Furthermore,
we will have the best papers of the conference published in a book of
selected papers, by Kluwer Academic Publishers. We are also inquiring
with some journals about the possibility to publish extended versions
of selected ICINCO-2005 papers.

Looking forward to receiving a paper submission from you next
February. Don't hesitate contacting me should you have any questions.

Best regards,
Marina Carvalho
(ICINCO Secretariat)
