    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 19, 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 19, 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, 2005.
    5. The CA of each paper submits the paper data and e-manuscript on-line
    prior to September 15, 2005.

    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.
