Submission Guidelines

Submissions for ADHS 15 are now open. The submission deadline for regular papers, invited session proposals, and invited session papers is May 3, 2015. All submissions must be done (in pdf format) through the IFAC Conference Manuscript Management System website at http://ifac.papercept.net.

The final papers are due August 1, 2015. Each paper must be accompanied by a registration. In particular, each full registration allows for two papers to be uploaded while each student registration allows for one paper to be uploaded. Additional papers can be uploaded by a single registrant for an additional paper upload fee.

Regular papers: Regular papers can have a length of up to 8 pages at submission. Accepted papers are limited to 6 pages in the conference preprints and on-line proceedings at no extra charge; up to two extra pages are allowed for an additional charge.

Invited session proposals: Invited sessions consist of 4-6 papers related to a common theme that fits within the scope of ADHS. An invited session proposal should contain a short description of the common theme as well as the list of papers in the session and their abstracts. 
The invited session organizer first has to submit the pdf file of the session proposal (without participating papers). The IFAC Conference Manuscript Management System then returns an acknowledgment that contains an alpha-numeric code for the proposed session. 
Subsequently, the organizer has to notify the contributing authors of their invited session code. The corresponding author of each paper then submits the paper on-line as an invited paper.
