--------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
8th IEEE International Workshop on Factory Communication Systems
COMMUNICATION in AUTOMATION (WFCS 2010)
May 18-21, 2010, Nancy, France
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Conference web site: http://wfcs2010.loria.fr
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE:
The WFCS workshop is the largest IEEE technical event specially
dedicated to industrial communication systems. The aim of this
workshop is to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners and
developers to review current trends in this area and to present
and discuss new ideas and new research directions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
FOCUS ON:

- Real-time and Dependability in Industrial Communication Systems:
message scheduling; task allocation; fault-tolerant communication;
performance analysis; safety and security issues; synchronization.

- System Integration in Industrial Automation Systems:
vertical and life-cycle aspects, web-based setup, maintenance,
and configuration; transparency vs. security; data-flow management;
internetworking; hybrid wired/wireless industrial infrastructures.

- Information and Communication Technology in Automation:
system design; component-based systems, web frameworks; mobile
computing; modelling and specification techniques; formal methods.

- Recent advances in research domains with similar technical
requirements: networked control systems; wireless sensor networks;
building automation networks; automotive and train-control networks;
distributed real-time embedded systems.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
The WFCS workshop is seeking two kinds of submissions.

Regular papers: up to 10 double-column pages, reporting on novel and
significant contributions to the field of industrial communication
systems.

Work-in-progress papers: up to 4 double-column pages, describing
research that has not yet produced the results required for a regular
paper, but that due its novelty and potential impact deserves to be
shared with the community at an early stage.

All submitted material (in English language) must be unpublished
and not under review elsewhere.
