Invitation to TECIS 2018:
It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the TECIS 2018,
which aims to bring together researchers and practitioners
from industry and academia to give an overview of the state
of the art, to present new research results and to exchange
ideas and experiences in the fields of technology and
international stability.
Meeting Scope and Objectives:
Technology development leads to dramatic changes in
international stability. It has never been so important to
examine system stability. Currently and during the recent
years social international and national systems of control have
been shown to be inadequate and prone to be fundamental
and most basic instable. Many basic assumptions are no longer
certain and are definitely questioned. This event will
systematically examine these topics. Another goal of the TECIS
conference is to propose new approaches in dealing with
globalization effects, as studying complexity and knowledge
management.
Topics:
The scope of the conference will cover but is not limited to:
- Control and Automation to Improve Stability
- Young Engineers in Control
- Automation and Control in Oil and Gas Industry
- Social Aspects of Oil and Gas Engineering
- Developments in Petrochemical Industry
- Development of Regions, Countries
- Social Networks
- Managing the Introduction of Technological Change to
Improve Stability
- Technology in Post-conflict Regions
- Innovation Management
- Open Innovation and Applications
- Enterprise Integration and Networking, Software
- Cost Oriented Automation (COA)
- SME-oriented Automation
- Decision Support Systems for SME's
- Semi-Automated Assembly and Disassembly (EoL)
- Intelligent Systems and Applications
- Mechatronic Systems and Robotics
- Robotics and Handling Devices
- Artificial Intelligence and Applications
- Retrofitting of Automation Devices
- Engineering Ethics
- Tele-medical Systems
- Cross-cultural Aspects of Engineering (TRIZ theory, etc.)
- Control & Political Stability
- Models & Simulation
- Sustainable Design and Control
- Control of Security and Privacy
- Human aspects of safety and risk engineering
- Biomedical Systems
Authors are encouraged to submit papers, invited sessions,
pre-conference workshops & tutorials, as well as exhibitions &
posters from industrial companies or institutions.
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of maximum
six pages. All contributions must be formatted according to
IFAC style and must be submitted via the Paper Plaza
Conference Manuscript Management System. The PDF file is
limited to 2MB in size. Authors are encouraged to follow IFAC
guidelines for paper formatting. Please consult the TECIS 2018
website for more information.
Submitted papers at TECIS 2018 must be original and hence
cannot be already published, nor can they be under review
elsewhere. Prospective authors are expected to present their
papers at the conference. For each accepted paper at least one
of the authors should register (full registration) before
uploading the final version of the paper. With full registration
two papers with reduced registration fee one paper can be
uploaded.
A proposal for an invited session must include titles, abstract,
authors of either one survey and four regular or six regular
papers, a one-page description for the special session including
session outline, contact information of the proposer.
The best IFAC young author award (IFAC, YAA) will be granted
to a PhD student and/or a student less than 30 years as the
first author and presents the paper at TECIS 2018. Shortlisted
nominees will get a travel grant.
Survey papers will be given by:
- Allgöwer (Stuttgart University, Germany; IFAC President)
- Duda (Emerson Automation, Switzerland)
- Jesse (QuinScape, Germany)
- Groumpos (University of Patras, Greece)
- Stapleton (Waterford Institute of Technology, Ireland)

- Aliyev (Institute of Control Systems, ANAS, Azerbaijan)
Azerbaijan/Baku:
Azerbaijan, officially the Republic of Azerbaijan is the largest
country in the Caucasus region of Eurasia. Located at the
crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe.
Baku is the capital and largest city of Azerbaijan, as well as the
largest city on the Caspian Sea and of the Caucasus region.
Baku is located 28 metres (92 ft) below sea level, which makes
it the lowest lying national capital in the world. It is located on
the southern shore of the Absheron Peninsula, alongside the
Bay of Baku.
Old City and Flame Towers
The city is the scientific, cultural and industrial center of
Azerbaijan. Baku is rich on historical monuments as well as
hypermodern buildings and lots of leisure activities for fair
prices.
During the event technical and cultural visits will be scheduled,
e.g. temple of fire, Heydar Aliyev Culture Centre, Old town
center, Sumgayit Technology Park, swimming oil fields – Oil
Rocks, Jumeirah Beach, Sumgayit city and others.
Baku is in the middle of Europe and Asia, on the ancient
Silkway, easy accessible from both continents with railways and
direct flights from most capitals worldwide, or low-cost flights
through Istanbul, Kiew, Moscow and a lot more destinations.

open-access IFAC-PapersOnLine series hosted on
ScienceDirect (http://www.sciencedirect.com). To this end,
the author(s) must confer the copyright to IFAC when they
submit the final version of the paper through the paper
submission process. The author(s) retain the right to use a
copy of the paper for personal use, internal institutional use at
the author(s)’ institution, or scholarly posting at an open web
site operated by the author(s) or their institution, limited to
