IFAC 2017 World Congress, Toulouse, France

A Guide to Being Active in the Community as Author and Reviewer

All IFAC World Congress participants are welcome to participate to the "Author/Reviewer" workshop organized jointly by IFAC and Elsevier. The registration is free, but mandatory for logistic reasons. Registration is done using the registration system. Connect back to your profile using your login/password and add this free item.

It is recommended to the attendees to book their hotel rooms as soon as possible.

IFAC 2017 negociated hotel rooms in Toulouse city center hotels are available using a dedicated booking platform. These negociated rooms and prices are limited in time and may not be available any more very soon. See details at www.ifac2017.org/hotels.

Early registration ended on 15 April. The number of registered attendees is over 3000. We are all looking forward to welcoming the participants this summer.

Some reminders:

The submission of final papers to IFAC 2017 World Congress is now over. The PaperCept submission site for final manuscript upload has closed as announced. The deadline had been extended twice, a first time from 31 March to 7 April, and then to 10 April. The Program Chairs are now finalizing the detailed schedule of the 400 sessions and will not accept any late submission except if the authors can provide rapidly a very convincing reason for not having been able to meet the deadline.

Dear Colleagues,

Taking into account the temporary breakdown of the registration system in the last night before submission deadline of 7 April, the Registration Team in coordination with the IPC Chairs have reopened PaperCept for final paper upload. It will remain open until Monday 10 April at night.

Our sincere apologies for those who were doing their registration and uploading papers at the last minute. We recommend them to register without delay.

Best Regards,
Dimitri Peaucelle
IFAC 2017 General Chair

Dear colleagues,

The registration system was out of order from 3:16 till 9:57 local time (Toulouse, France) on Saturday 8 April. We are aware that it went down some hours before the deadline for submitting the final versions of the papers (7 April 23:59 time of PaperCept). This has prevented some of you to register and upload papers at last minute. Some solution will be sought in the close future. Meanwhile those who did not register are invited to do so in order to get their upload codes and be ready for paper uploading.

Dear colleagues,

7 April is the last day for paper upload, and as specified in all previous documents, one should register to the congress to get the upload codes.
At 15:37 local time (Toulouse, France) 2328 final papers have been uploaded. Some 450 are still missing.

Important information:

Dear congress attendees, the University Campus restaurant has limited capacities. It appears that these capacities have been attained today, 3 April 2017. This additional item in the registration can therefore no more be selected.

Other lunch possibilities will be available: see the lunches dedicated page. We will also contact the University Campus Restaurant to consider if the capacity of the restaurant could be increased. If it is so, the item will be re-opened on the registration web site.

Dear colleagues,
The registration team is working hard in answering the questions and issues that some of you have. The fact that about 3000 persons register in less than 2 weeks time makes the situation critical. So please be patient and avoid solicitations that could find answers in the Congress web pages.
