papers and application case studies. There will be separate
tutorials on the use of AI technology on August 23 and 24.

Throughout the Workshop, English will be the official language.
Translation facilities will not be available.

Proceedings:
Proceedings will be published after the Workshop, with K.-P. Lin
and L. F. Pau as editors. Proceedings publisher will be the IFAC
publisher, Pergamon Press or another IFAC approved publisher.
Copyrights for accepted papers are thus transferred to the
publishers.
