The Symposium is Co-Sponsored by IFAC Technical Committees
on: Applications, Computers, Education and System Engineering.
Organized by:
Universidad de Malaga (Grupo de Ingenieria de Sistemas y
Automatica) on behalf of the Comite Espanol de la IFAC.
Supported by:
IDEA Andalucia Technology Park.
Sociedad Estatal EXPO'92.
Plan Nacional de I+D - CICYT.
SCOPE
The objective of the symposium is to bring together control
systems specialists, equipment manufacturers, and end-users, to
evaluate the possibilities of techniques, components and instruments for
intelligent control.
This symposium covers components and instruments employing software and
hardware (microprocessors and other special circuits) to implement advanced
control strategies and intelligent functions such as self-diagnosis and
calibration. Among areas of interest are large scale integration of
electronic and mechanical devices, sensor fusion and perception, and
intelligent power level components, as well as applications in an
increasing number of fields.
The symposium technical program will include plenary survey papers,
invited sessions and regular technical sessions.

and will be considered for possible
publication in the IFAC journal Automatica in addition to
the Symposium Proceedings by Pergammon Press.
A paper will be released for
(re)publication three months after the symposium unless the author has
been notified that the paper is being considered for publication in
Automatica.
