Authors are invited to submit draft papers reporting original
research of theoretical or applied nature. Final manuscripts are limited to 6 pages.
Invited sessions consist of papers focusing on targeted subjects
and presenting a unifying theme. Invited session organizers should
submit an abstract that summarizes the aim and the content of the
invited session. If at least 5 papers are accepted, the session is included in the symposium program as an invited session, otherwise,
the papers will be included in regular sessions.
Special sessions offer a venue for the presentation of topics of special academic, social or industrial interest, such as emerging research areas or the most recent trends in manufacturing engineering. The format of special sessions is more flexible; it allows a panel discussion, led by the session chair(s), to motivate the exchange of opinions among presenters and participants.
Open Invited Tracks consist of regular papers focusing on targeted subjects; they have no upper limit on the number of papers; only those tracks having gathered more than 5 papers will be considered.
All manuscripts as well as Invited/Special Session proposals and Open Tracks must be electronically submitted through the PaperPlaza Conference Manuscript Management System.
Guidelines for the preparation of manuscripts are provided on the IFAC website.
All papers will be accepted with the understanding that they will be presented at the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper will be required to register for INCOM 2021.
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.
Post-symposium publications: the IPC of INCOM 2021 may screen presented papers with the purpose of recommending the authors to consider significantly extended versions in one of the IFAC Journals and other high-ranked journals:
Annual Reviews in Control, Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Computers & Industrial Engineering, Journal of Industrial and Intelligent Information, Enterprise Information Systems, Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing Systems, International Journal of Production Research, Production, Journal of Autonomous Intelligent Systems.
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 behavior 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 (https://www.ifac-control.org/events/organizers-guide/PublicationEthicsGuidelines.pdf/view).
Copyright
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).
The Young Author Award will be granted to a young researcher at INCOM 2021. Eligible candidates are authors of high-quality papers, younger than 30 at the time of the event, and who will present the paper during the Symposium.
The nominations may arise from colleagues or supervisors of the young author, and should include a motivation letter (one-page file to be uploaded) including the name of the nominee, his/her PIN, the title of the paper, and declaring that the nominee is younger than 30 at the time of the event. Self-nominations are NOT allowed.
Nominations have to be submitted via the PaperPlaza Conference Manuscript Management System.
Nomination deadline: EXTENDED - 28th May 2021.
The members of INCOM Young Author Award Committee will determine a short list of finalists based on the gathered reviews and on their own reading of the papers. The winner will be determined at the time of the Symposium, on the basis of the written paper and the oral presentation.
The winner certificate will be awarded during the closing ceremony of the INCOM 2021.
