Informatics in Control Automation and Robotics [electronic resource] : Revised and Selected Papers from the International Conference on Informatics in Control Automation and Robotics 2009 / edited by Juan Andrade Cetto, Joaquim Filipe, Jean-Louis Ferrier.

Invited Papers -- Part I: Intelligent Control Systems and Optimization -- Part II: Robotics and Automation -- Part III: Signal Processing, Sensors, Systems Modeling and Control.

The present book includes a set of selected papers from the fourth ǣInternational Conference on Informatics in Control Automation and Roboticsǥ (ICINCO 2009), held in Milan, Italy, from 2 to 5 July 2009. The conference was organized in three simultaneous tracks: ǣIntelligent Control Systems and Optimizationǥ, ǣRobotics and Automationǥ and ǣSystems Modeling, Signal Processing and Controlǥ. The book is based on the same structure. ICINCO received 365 paper submissions, not including those of workshops, from 55 countries, in all continents. After a double blind paper review performed by the Program Committee only 34 submissions were accepted as full papers and thus selected for oral presentation, leading to a full paper acceptance ratio of 9%. Additional papers were accepted as short papers and posters. A further refinement was made after the conference, based also on the assessment of presentation quality, so that this book includes the extended and revised versions of the very best papers of ICINCO 2009. Commitment to high quality standards is a major concern of ICINCO that will be maintained in the next editions of this conference, including not only the stringent paper acceptance ratios but also the quality of the program committee, keynote lectures, workshops and logistics.
