CALL FOR PAPERS - CONTROLO 2018 - 13th APCA International Conference on 
Control and Soft-Computing

The Organizing Committee is pleased to invite you to Azores, Portugal, for 
the 13th APCA International Conference on Control and Soft-Computing 
(CONTROLO 2018, http://www.apcacontrolo.org/controlo2018/). The conference 
will be held in Ponta Delgada, São Miguel Island, June 4-6, 2018, and 
followed by two thematic workshops on June 7. This 13th edition of the 
conference is a special landmark for APCA, as it coincides with the 
celebration of its 25th anniversary.

CONTROLO 2018 intends to emerge as a world-class international forum for 
the presentation and discussion of new advances and research outcomes, and 
is an appealing opportunity for informal networking in the fields of 
Automatic Control, Automation and Soft-Computing.

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit full papers in English, 6 
pages, in pdf format, following instructions accessible on the conference 
webpage. All peer reviewed, accepted and presented papers will be included 
in the IEEE Xplore digital library, while the proceedings will be 
submitted to Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), 
INSPEC and Scopus for indexation. In addition, authors of selected papers 
will be called upon to resubmit extended versions of their papers to a 
designated high impact-factor International Journal.
