All papers 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 Proceedings, 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. All papers presented will be recorded in Control Engineering Practice.

Copyright of material presented at an IFAC meeting is held by IFAC. Automatica and Control Engineering Practice 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, the author is free to re-submit.

General Information

Venue


The Conference will be held in Visegrad (60 km from Budapest) at the Hotel Silvanus****, situated on the top of the 352 m high Black-mountain, in the neighborhood of King Matthias's Citadel. Attractions include a wonderful panorama over the Danube Bend, fitness center with swimming pool, squash court and tepidarium (sauna, steam-bath, salt-chamber, etc.)
 

Special buses to the Conference venue (from Budapest and back)
