The IEEE CDC will include both contributed and invited sessions, and full Proceedings will be published. Contributed papers are solicited in all aspects of the theory and applications of systems, including decision-making, control, adaptation, optimization, industrial automation, and manufacturing. Invited sessions are also solicited in new developments in these and related areas. The Program Committee is soliciting both Regular and Short contributed papers for presentation at the conference and publication in the Proceedings. Regular papers describe completed work in some detail.
Short papers describe important recent or preliminary results that require limited length.
Short papers may be submitted for review as a 4-6 page detailed summary, with references. The Program Committee is soliciting proposals for invited sessions. Cohesive sessions focusing on new or emerging topics in the above-listed areas are particularly encouraged, and will have priority over those of a classical or mainstream flavor. The Invited Session Proposal Form for CDC 99 can be obtained electronically at the conference web site. All invited session proposals must be accompanied by information for all the proposed papers and mailed together as a group.
