The
present book includes a set of selected extended papers from the 12th
International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics (ICINCO
2015), held in Colmar, France, from 21 to 23 July 2015. The conference brought together
researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the application of
informatics to Control, Automation and Robotics. Four simultaneous tracks will
be held, covering Intelligent Control Systems, Optimization, Robotics,
Automation, Signal Processing, Sensors, Systems Modelling and Control, and
Industrial Engineering, Production and Management. Informatics applications are
pervasive in many areas of Control, Automation and Robotics. ICINCO 2015
received 214 submissions, from 42 countries, in all continents. After a double
blind paper review performed by the Program Committee, 14% were accepted as
full papers and thus selected for oral presentation. Additional papers were
accepted as short papers and posters. A further selection was made after the
Conference, based also on the assessment of presentation quality and audience
interest, so that this book includes the extended and revised versions of the
very best papers of ICINCO 2015. Commitment to high quality standards is a
major concern of ICINCO that will be maintained in the next editions,
considering not only the stringent paper acceptance ratios but also the quality
of the program committee, keynote lectures, participation level and logistics.
