IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology SPECIAL ISSUE on Control Applications in Automotive Engineering
2006

The IEEE Technical Committee on Automotive Control (TCAC) seeks papers for a special issue on automotive controls for the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology. The Special Issue will describe selected control problems for emerging automotive systems and recent trends in methodologies and applications of control to these systems. Thus, the Special Issue is intended to provide a timely update on the evolution of automotive control technologies, both in research as well as in production.

2006 Informal Workshop on Automotive Clutch Control
May 25-26, 2006
Department of Engineering, Università degli Studi del Sannio, Benevento, Italy

Clutch control is seen as an increasingly important enabling technology for the automotive industry, being central for traction control and automatic gear shifting for improved safety, drivability, comfort and fuel economy. This invitation-only workshop is meant to provide an informal forum for leading academic and industrial researchers to freely exchange ideas, problems and recent developments and results. The presented presentations may be informal, tentative or speculative, as well as of publication-ready maturity. The contributions may deal with various aspects of clutch control within the framework of e.g. wet and dry clutches, automated manual transmission, automatic transmissions, driveline control, traction control, clutch use within hybrid vehicles, sub-system control, modeling and simulation, experimental studies, etc, for passenger cars as well as heavy vehicles. The submitted abstracts and papers will be uploaded to a web-page accessible to participants only, and will not constitute a formal publication; in other words, the papers may be submitted for publication elsewhere.

2006 American Control Conference Silver Anniversary
June 14–16 Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

ADVANCES IN CONTROL OF TRANSPORTATION AND AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS

The Automotive and Transportation Systems Panel (A&TSP) of the ASME Dynamic Systems and Controls Division and the IEEE Technical Committee on Automotive Control (TCAC) are jointly sponsoring invited sessions at the 2006 American Control Conference. Papers are invited on original investigations relating to modeling, analysis, and control of automotive and transportation systems. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: engine/powertrain dynamics and control, alternative propulsion systems, vehicle dynamics and control, control of climate and emissions, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), automated highway applications, advanced automotive sensing and actuation, estimation and diagnostics.

You are invited to submit a paper or an extended summary describing problem formulation, methodology, work performed, results, conclusions, and key references. If submitted, extended summaries should be 1000 words at a minimum and must be of sufficient detail to allow peer review of results. Please submit papers or extended summaries

• in pdf format,
• including the Paperplaza PIN for each contributing author, and
• indicating the corresponding author and contact information

to one of the session organizers listed below.

Papers or summaries should be received by August 15, 2005. Authors will be notified of acceptance by September 6, 2005. Submissions accepted for inclusion in an invited session must then be submitted online, as papers (not as extended summaries), via

http://www.paperplaza.net by September 15, 2005. All ACC submissions must strictly follow the page limit and column specifications outlined on the ACC website or risk rejection without review.

The ACC Conference Program Committee will make the decision regarding final acceptance of the invited sessions by January 31, 2006. Complete papers will be due on March 15, 2006, and completed session papers must conform to the same standards as regular contributed papers. The American Automatic Control Council (AACC) is particularly interested in enhancing the applications and industrial perspective of the ACC. Consequently, prospective authors from industry are encouraged to submit.
