The material submitted for presentation at the IFAC Congress must be original, not published or being considered elsewhere. All papers accepted for presentation will appear in the Preprints of the meeting (in the form of CD-ROM and printed volumes) and will be distributed to the participants. The CD-ROM will also be offered for sale, as the official Congress 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 other, IFAC affiliated journals. A record of all papers presented will also appear in Control Engineering Practice.
Copyright of material presented at an IFAC meeting and/or included in the Proceedings is held by IFAC. Automatica, Control Engineering Practice and, after these, IFAC affiliated journals have priority access to all contributions accepted for the Congress. However, if the author is not contacted by an editor of these journals, within three months after the Congress, the author is free to resubmit the material for publication elsewhere. In this case, the paper must carry a reference to the IFAC Congress where it was originally published.
Authors are free to submit their IFAC Congress papers directly to Automatica or Control Engineering Practice. They may also directly submit, before the three-month deadline, to any of the following IFAC affiliated journals:
