The International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and
Robotics Committee cordially invites you to participate in the ICINCO
Conference.

The deadline for paper submission is February 27. You may check the
conference web site (http://www.icinco.org) for further
details. Bellow, you will find some information about dates and
conference areas.

All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings,
under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support. A book
including a selection of the best conference papers will be edited and
published by Springer.  The International journal Integrated
Computer-Aided Engineering and the International Journal of Advanced
Robotic Systems will also publish a selection of ICINCO 2006 best
 papers.
