Several CAST 10 members have requested clarification the request for 2007 ACC Invited Session posting.
The session ideas I have requested by next week are ONLY the Session Title, Session Summary, and Organizer contact information. With this information, I am planning to coordinate among organizers that want to submit similar sessions and to post a list of selected session ideas with organizers.
The complete session proposals (including the full manuscripts) must be submitted by Sept 15, 2006.
The short deadline for submitting invited session ideas is to give the session organizers and authors as much time as possible to put together the session.
Please contact me with questions or concerns...
thank you -- Robert Young

CAST 10b would like to propose approximately four or five invited sessions on focused topics not typically covered in the contributed sessions for the 2007 American Control Conference. The 2007 ACC will take place on June 11 to 13, 2007 in New York, NY. Additional information on this ACC can be found at:
http://www.a2c2.org/conferences/acc2007/
Individuals interested in preparing an idea for an invited session should submit a session proposal to the 2007 area 10b programming chairman - Robert E. Young - before JULY 24, 2006.
A completed invited session proposal consists of a summary statement and six full papers submitted by invitation of the session organizer. While the session should possess a unifying theme, a reasonable diversity of viewpoints is strongly encouraged. The summary statement describes the motivation and relevance of the proposed session.
To coordinate the CAST 10b proposals, I would like to collect session proposal ideas (title, summary statement and chair/co-chair organizers and list of possible contributors) from the CAST community. To date, I have received the following suggestions for sessions but without summaries or organizers that have agreed to organize the session:
Analysis and Control of Biological Systems
Control of Population Balance Systems
Control of Microchemical Systems
Nonlinear Process Control
If you are interested in organizing an invited session for one of these topics or a different topic, please provide me with proposal information before JULY 24, 2006. I will post a list of the selected sessions and contact the organizers shortly after that date.
For the final invited session proposal, a full manuscript of the invited papers must also be submitted (ACC
now automatically rejects invited session proposals that contain only extended
abstracts. The invited paper manuscripts should conform to the same standards as the regular contributed conference papers (two-column proceedings format limited to eight pages). Manuscripts not following this format may be declined without review. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the conference web site. Questions may be addressed to Richard Braatz, Vice Chair for Invited Sessions,
Email: braatz@uiuc.edu.
The deadline for the final submissions is September 15, 2006.
The normal procedure for the final submission of an invited session is as follows:
1. The session organizer invites authors and collects the contributing author (CA) name, contact information, PIN, and paper title for each paper.
2. The session organizer submits the session data on-line and receives a session ID for the session and paper ID's for each invited paper.
3. The organizer notifies each contributing author of their paper ID.
4. The organizer submits the session proposal e-manuscript on-line without the component papers prior to September 15, 2006.
5. The CA of each paper submits the paper data and e-manuscript on-line prior to September 15, 2006.
Please note that the submission process is completely electronic. At the discretion of the Technical Program Committee, individual papers may be removed from proposed invited sessions and replaced by an appropriate contributed paper. Likewise, selected papers from rejected invited session proposals may be placed into the regular program.
