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 technologies like wireless technologies, more general real-time local area networks and also internetworking through IP networks. 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 their real-time and dependable applications, between academic researchers, practitioners and service providers, to review current trends and to discuss new research directions.
This conference will be the eighth. Previous conferences were held in Vienna (Austria), 1995, 1997, in Magdeburg (Germany), 1999, in Nancy (France), 2001, in Aveiro (Portugal), 2003, in Puebla (Mexico), 2005, and in Toulouse (France), 2007. |

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.
The presented papers will be further screened for possible publication in the IFAC Journals.
Authors are invited to submit electronically regular papers (double column, 6-8 pages) and work in progress papers (double column, not exceeding 4 pages). Submission is available to:

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, and if the paper has appeared on the website www.IFAC-PapersOnLine.net, also a reference to this publication. |
