CALL FOR PAPERS

Symposia on

Networked Control Systems & Sensor Fusion/Integration Systems

International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition

November 11-16, 2001
New York, New York

http://www.asme.org/conf/congress01/

Description:

The Computer Communications and Control Technical Panel of the ASME Dynamic
Systems and Control group is planning symposia on the following related
topics:

1) Networked Control Systems: Modeling, Analysis, and Control.
2) Sensor Fusion/Integration Systems in Control Applications.

Networked Control Systems: Modeling, Analysis, and Control.

As control systems become increasingly complex, and computers and networks
get faster and cheaper, there is an increasing tendency to implement control
systems in a distributed fashion with networked communication. This trend
can be observed in application areas such as manufacturing, vehicle control
systems, multi-robot systems, and coordination of multi-agent distributed
systems. The modularity of the implementation can be used help manage the
complexity and make the systems easier to change or reconfigure in the
future. On the other hand, the delays inherent in networked communication
may degrade the performance of the control system. To address these issues,
new modeling, analysis, and control design techniques are needed.

Papers are invited in this symposium on all areas of networked control
systems, including, but not limited to, network modeling, stability analysis
of systems with time delays, and control design approaches for networked
control systems. Experimental and/or theoretical treatments are welcomed.

Sensor fusion/integration systems in control applications.

Recent research in multi-sensor integration and fusion systems has proved
the benefits and robust characteristics of such approaches for a wide
variety of applications. One of the key benefits is the enhancement of
sensor data through integration to improve the certainty and quality of the
information provided. The management and coordination of data to and from
disparate sensors and actuators requires new techniques in terms of both
data uncertainty analysis, and data quality assessment. At the same time,
the use of fused data in control applications requires data integration in
a real-time context, in the presence of varying network, sensing and
processing delays. Papers are invited in this symposium on sensor
fusion/integration techniques for control applications, including, but not
limited to, fusion/integration architectures, uncertainty management, data
quality assessment, data integration and control techniques for utilizing
fused data. Both theoretical and application oriented papers are welcomed.

Submission Instructions

Authors are required to submit six copies of their full manuscript to one of
the symposium organizers for peer review per ASME guidelines. Papers must
be submitted by February 1, 2001. Authors will be notified of paper
acceptance by April 1, 2001. All papers will be reviewed for ASME
International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition only.
