IFAC Copyright Policy and CMTEE 2010 Publications
The material submitted for presentation at an IFAC meeting (Congress, Symposium, Conference, Workshop) must be original,not published or being considered elsewhere. All papers accepted for presentation will be distributed to the participants on a CD/DVD together with a printed book of abstracts including the final program.
Papers duly presented at CMTEE 2010 will be hosted and freely available on-line on the IFAC-PapersOnLine.net website, and citable via an ISSN and a DOI. The papers presented will be further screened for possible publication in the IFAC journals (Automatica, Control Engineering Practice, Annual Reviews in Control, Journal of Process Control, Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, and Mechatronics), or in IFAC affiliated journals. All papers presented will be recorded as IFAC Publications.
Copyright of material presented at an IFAC meeting is held by IFAC. Authors will be required to transfer copyright electronically. The IFAC journals and, after these, IFAC affiliated journals have priority access to all contributions presented.
However, if the author is not contacted by an editor of these journals, within three months after the meeting, he/she is free to submit an expanded version of the material presented for journal publication elsewhere. In this case, the paper must carry a reference to the IFAC meeting where it was originally presented and, if the paper has appeared on the website ACPapersOnLine.net, also a reference to this publication.
