Work in Progress and Industry Practice papers

Work-in-Progress papers

Work-in-Progress papers comprise describe research that has not yet produced the results required for a regular paper, but that due its novelty and potential impact deserves to be shared with the community at an early stage. Accepted WIP papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

Contributors will be asked to give a short presentation of their work and to prepare a poster for the discussion forum that will be held after the presentations.

Industry practice papers

Industry practice papers are focused on presenting the results of industry research projects. They will be published in the proceedings in an Industry practice section. They have to go through the special peer review process coming from industry if possible. Industry practice presentations are encouraged as a challenging experience in this Conference.

Industry practice sessions offer the opportunity to communicate practical results to the academic community by using interactive (simulations and/or movies) using the possibility of presenting real experiments, simulations of real experiments, movies of real experiments, software demonstration, software test, etc.

Contributors will be asked to give a short presentation of their work and to prepare a poster for the discussion forum and/or small experiment/demonstration that will be held after the presentations.

Topics within the scope of the conference are grouped in eight tracks:

• Information Technology in Automation
