Contribution categories

Regular contributions will be selected on the originality, technical soundness, quality of written exposition and relevance to IFAC IMS2025 topics. Initial submissions are at least 4 pages long and most 8 pages long, with a strict 6 pages limit for final manuscripts to be included in the IFAC-PapersOnLine proceedings. Presentations are in oral sessions during the conference in a 20 minutes format, including questions.

Call for invited and special sessions

Invited sessions consist of 5-6 papers of the regular format 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. A code will be assigned to such a session. The invited authors should submit their papers by using this code. If at least 5 papers are accepted, the session is included in the workshop program as an invited session. If an invited session is not accepted, accepted papers submitted to this session will be included in regular sessions.

Organizers of Invited Sessions are requested to register their sessions through the PaperPlaza Conference Manuscript Management System, to obtain the session reference code, to provide the code to the authors, and to advise the authors to use the code in their paper submission (as invited session paper).

Special sessions (Industrial, New Frontiers, Special Projects, etc.): Special sessions offer a venue for the presentation of topics of special academic, social or industrial interest, such as emerging research areas or most recent trends in manufacturing modelling, management and control. The format of special sessions is more flexible – it allows a panel discussion, or a workshop led by the session chair(s), to motivate the exchange of opinions among presenters and participants. Special session presentations may be in the form of regular papers (6 pages).

Companies or researchers interested in holding special sessions, workshops or exhibits are invited to contact the conference organizers.
