	    International Federation of Automatic Control

	     3rd IFAC SYMPOSIUM ON INTELLIGENT COMPONENTS

				 AND

		 INSTRUMENTS FOR CONTROL APPLICATIONS

		    Annecy, France, June 9-11 1997

--------------------------------------------------------------

  Selected full papers are to be prepared according to instructions
  sent to the authors (max. 6 pages). Accepted papers must
  be presented in person at the symposium.

--------------------------------------------------------------
  
                      SCOPE

  The aim of the symposium is to bring together scientists, 
  suppliers and users of new so-called intelligent techniques 
  in the fields of sensors, actuators and instruments for 
  advanced control and measurement applications.
  
  The symposium will address generic methodologies, recent 
  developments and their applications in software and hardware
  equipment.

--------------------------------------------------------------

                      TOPICS

  Functionalities of intelligent components and instruments :
    - diagnosis - autoconfiguration - measurement validation
    - data fusion - learning.

  Techniques for intelligent components and instruments :
    - conventional methods - fuzzy logic - neural networks
    - genetic algorithms - rule-based approach.
    
  Modeling and implementation of  :
    - microsensors - microactuators - integrated sensors
    - integrated actuators - virtual instruments - intelligent 
    controllers - multi sensor systems.
    
  Communication networks and industrial standard field-buses :
    - FIP - CAN - VAN - wireless networks - automation network
    instruments - real-time constraints.
    
  Software and hardware tools :
    - specialized architecture - simulation - analysis - design
    - decision support systems - assessment support systems.
    
  Applications :
    - process control - perception systems - decentralized control
    - robotics - environmental systems - education training
    - automotive systems.

                       IFAC Copyright

The material submitted for presentation at IFAC meeting (congress, 
symposium, conference, workshop) must be original, not published 
of being considered elswhere. All papers accepted for presentation 
will appear in the Preprints of the meeting and will be distributed 
to the participants. Papers duly presented will be archived and 
offered for sale, in the form of Postprint volumes, by Elsevier 
Science Ltd, Oxford, UK. The papers which have been presented will 
be further screened for possible publication in the IFAC Journals 
"Automatica and Control Engineering Practice", or in IFAC affiliated
journals. The abstracts of all papers presented will also appear 
in "Control Engineering Practice".
Copyright of materials presented at an IFAC meeting is held by IFAC.
Authors will be sent a copyright transfer from, "Automatica, Control
Engineering Practice" and, afterthese, IFAC affiliated journals
have priorrity access to all contributions presented.
However, if the author is not contacted by an editor of these
journals, within three months after the meeting, the author 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.
