CALL FOR PAPERS
11th IEEE World Conference on Factory Communication Systems
COMMUNICATION in AUTOMATION (WFCS 2015)
May 27-29, 2015, Palma de Mallorca, Spain
SCOPE:
WFCS is the largest IEEE technical event specially dedicated to industrial communication systems. The aim of this conference is to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners and developers to review current trends in this area and to present and discuss new ideas and new research directions.
FOCUS ON:
- Real-time and Dependability in Industrial Communication Systems: message scheduling; task allocation; fault-tolerant communication; performance analysis; safety and security issues; synchronization.
- System Integration in Industrial Automation Systems: vertical and life-cycle aspects; web-based setup, maintenance, and configuration; transparency vs. security; data-flow management; internetworking; hybrid wired/wireless industrial infrastructures; M2M communication, Plug-and-Work and self-* mechanisms.
- Information and Communication Technology in Automation: system design; component-based systems, web frameworks; cloud computing, service-oriented architectures (SoA); mobile computing; modelling and specification techniques; formal methods; Internet of Things (IoT)/Internet of Services.
- Recent advances in research domains with similar technical requirements: networked control systems; wireless sensor networks; smart grid communications and building automation networks; automotive and train-control networks; distributed real-time embedded systems.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
WFCS is seeking submissions of work-in-progress papers with this call. All submitted contributions (in English language) must contain original unpublished work. Papers that have been concurrently submitted to other conferences or journals (double submissions) will be automatically rejected.
For further submission details, please consult the
submission page.
WORK-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS:
Up to 4 double-column pages, describing research that has not yet produced the results required for a regular paper, but that due its novelty and potential impact deserves to be shared with the community at an early stage.
