The DSCC 2014 organizing committee invites prospective authors to make high-quality contributions to the conference in any area of relevance to dynamic systems and control. Contributions are welcome - but not limited to - the areas of automotive and transportation systems, bio-systems and health care, energy systems, mechatronics, modeling, identification, intelligent systems, robotics, vibrations, and smart structures. Contributions will generally fall into one of the following categories:
Contributed Papers
Papers that describe original theoretical or applied work in the dynamic systems and control area.
Deadline: March 3, 2023
Contributed and invited papers will be classified into short papers and long papers. The page limit for a short paper is 5 pages. The page limit for a long paper is 10 pages. Both types of papers will undergo a rigorous review as complete manuscripts. In other words, the expression "short paper" does not denote an "extended abstract". Submissions above page limits will not be accepted for review. There is no per-page charge.
Invited Session/Papers
Invited sessions are an important vehicle for enhancing the grassroots community involvement in the conference. They help to formulate sessions that are potentially very cohesive. Hence, we would like to reach out to the general community with the hope of increasing the diversity of Invited Sessions.
Towards this end, it is no longer required to have the explicit sponsorship from one of the DSCD Technical Committees to propose an invited session.
Deadline: March 3, 2023
Invited sessions consist of six papers addressing a unifying theme from a variety of perspectives. The invited session organizer submits an invited session proposal, consisting of a title, a description of the theme of the proposed session, titles and abstracts for the six papers that constitute the session, and, ideally, an explanation of how the papers relate to each other and support the session theme. A sample invited session proposal is available for download
here.
Tutorial sessions
DSCC 2014 solicits proposals for
Tutorial sessions, which provide an entry point to current research on a topic of interest to the DSC community. Tutorial sessions have no fixed format, but they should begin with an extended one-hour presentation that gives an accessible introduction to the subject. The remaining hour of the session may be occupied by standard 20-minute conference presentations, panel discussions, extended Q&A;, a combination thereof, or other instructional activities.
Deadline: March 3, 2023
Industrial sessions
DSCC 2014 solicits proposals for
industrial sessions, which are organized by industrial sponsors to draw the attention of the DSC community to topics of industrial relevance and concern. Industrial sessions may also serve as a mechanism for student outreach and recruitment. Industrial sessions are scheduled outside of the normal conference technical tracks, often as a lunchtime or early evening activity. Industrial sessions may offer a more relaxed atmosphere, including food and beverages. Typically, industrial session presentations do not include an associated paper in the proceedings. One-day registration is available to encourage conference attendance by industry participants. Submission deadlines for industrial sessions are flexible, however prospective industrial session organizers are strongly encouraged to discuss their ideas with the
Exhibits and Industry Chair Xiaopeng Zhao
before the deadline of March 3, 2014.
Special Sessions
DSCC 2014 solicits proposals for special sessions of various types. These include Frontier Research Forums, Student-Organized Sessions, Industry-Organized Sessions, and Education Forums. Prospective organizers of special sessions should contact
Workshops and Special Sessions Chair Maggie Chen
or
Program Chair Jordan Berg
before the submission deadline of March 3, 2014.
Workshops
DSCC 2014 solicits proposals for workshops, which are half-day or full-day events, consisting of one or more presentations on a focused technical topic of interest to conference attendees and within the conference scope. The purpose of a workshop is to educate attendees in a new area, and make current research results in that area accessible to them. Unlike contributed, invited, and tutorial sessions, workshops are held before or after the main conference dates. There may be an additional registration charge for workshop attendance. Workshop materials are not included in the conference proceedings, and workshops are not peer reviewed. Prospective workshop organizers should contact
Workshops and Special Sessions Chair Maggie Chen
or
Program Chair Jordan Berg
before March 3, 2014.
Exhibits
Exhibits are solicited that feature products relevant to the conference themes. Exhibits will be open to all DSCC attendees. See Sponsorship & Exhibitor Page for additional information.
Vendors interested in exhibiting at DSCC should contact the
Exhibits & Industry Chair Xiaopeng Zhao.
