Papers / Sessions types

Contributed and Industrial Papers: Must be between 4 (minimum) and 6 (maximum) pages in the final version. More information is in the IFAC Author Guide (IFAC Paper style and layout).

Plenary Papers: Associated with plenary lectures. Invited by the conference organisers. Submission is optional.

Invited Papers: These papers are intended for invited sessions organised by volunteers. The papers must meet the same requirements as contributed papers.

Invited Session Proposal:  The proposal for an invited session must contain a summary statement describing the motivation and relevance of the proposed session, as well as a short description of the papers in the session. These sessions typically include five to six papers. Not all papers need to be confirmed at the time of submitting an Invited Session Proposal. Additional contributions may be identified and included at a later stage.
If an invited session is not accepted, accepted papers submitted to this session will be included in regular sessions.

Copyright Conditions

The IFAC copyright conditions, as revised in November 2019, are given below:

“All publication material submitted for presentation at an IFAC-sponsored meeting (Congress, Symposium, Conference, Workshop) must be original and hence cannot be already published, nor can it be under review elsewhere. The authors take responsibility for the material that has been submitted. IFAC-sponsored conferences will abide by the highest standard of ethical behaviour in the review process as explained on the Elsevier webpage (https://www.elsevier.com/authors/journal-authors/policies-and-ethics), and the authors will abide by the IFAC publication ethics guidelines.

Accepted papers that have been presented at an IFAC meeting will be published in the proceedings of the event using the open-access IFAC-PapersOnLine series hosted on ScienceDirect (https://sciencedirect.com/). To this end, the author(s) must grant exclusive publishing rights to IFAC under a Creative Commons license when they submit the final version of the paper. The copyright belongs to the authors, who have the right to share the paper in the same terms allowed by the end user license, and retain all patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights (including research data).”
