We welcome you to the 17th IFAC World Congress which will be held in Seoul, Korea, from July 6-11, 2008. The IFAC World Congress (IFAC WC) is the world's premier conference in the field of automatic control. It is assembled only once every three years, and is typically attended by 2,500 to 3,000 people. The 17th Congress will therefore provide an excellent opportunity to present new results and learn about the most advanced theories, technologies/methodologies, and applications in the field of automatic control.
This is the first Congress after the IFAC celebrated its 50th anniversary in Heidelberg, Germany in 2006, and we invite you to participate in this first Congress of the second half of the IFAC century. The highlights of the 17th IFAC WC include the following:
 |
Plenary lectures read by the luminaries, semi-plenary lectures read by prominent leaders, and milestone reports read by various levels of IFAC Technical Board officers |
|
The first Congress to practice the newly decreed Industrial Paper Policy, and reciprocatorily assembled Highlight Programs related to industrial innovations |
|
The first Congress to provide online access to all papers on IFAC-PapersOnLine.net |
|
Financial support for young researchers from developing countries |
The 17th Congress will be held in Seoul, the capital city of Korea, which is located along the Han River. It is the world's 10th largest city, with a population of more than 10 million. In Seoul, the past and present coexist in many fascinating ways. Centuries-old palaces, gates, shrines, gardens, and priceless art collections in museums attest to the illustrious past of the city, while the glistening landscape of skyscrapers and modern streets represent its vibrant present.
We look forward to seeing our old and new friends in Seoul. You are cordially invited to Seoul, Korea to the 17th IFAC World Congress.
