Paper topics
Regular papers and one page abstracts
The conference makes a distinction between submission of full papers (4-6 pages), to be presented as a full presentation, and one page abstracts, to be presented in a poster session and a one minute pitch. Papers and abstracts should describe original and unpublished work. All manuscripts will be reviewed by three members of the program committee. Accepted full papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Selected papers will be published in a Journal special issue and/or book “connected mechatronics” to be confirmed.
Minisymposia
Minisymposia within the conference can be proposed for any mechatronic topic. A minisymposium is composed of three to four coordinated presentations on a single topic with a clear and strong link. Applicants are requested to electronically submit a proposal consisting of a title, a description (limited to 150 words) and a list of speakers and topic of the presentations. Organisation will be in close coordination with the organization committee. Upon acceptance of the proposal, each minisymposium speaker will be asked to submit a one page abstract or full paper.
A minisymposium on uncertainty within mechatronics (M. Versteyhe - KU Leuven) is already planned.
Panel sessions
In addition to papers and minisymposia, proposals are invited for panel sessions on the topic of connected mechatronics where the debate will be started by one or more short pitches. Applicants are requested to electronically submit a proposal consisting of a title and description (limited to 150 words).
