>The 5th IFAC Symposium on Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles - IAV2004 -
>will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from 5 to 7 July 2004. IAV2004 is
>organized by the Institute for Systems and Robotics/IST on behalf of
>APCA - The Portuguese Association of Automatic Control. This event is
>sponsored by the IFAC TC on Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles and
>co-sponsored by IFAC TCs on Robotics, Marine Systems and Aerospace, and
>EURON-European Robotics Research Network.
>
>On the 5yh July, IAV2004 is co-located with the RoboCup Symposium,
>sharing two pleany lectures.
>
>
>SCOPE:
>=====

>SUBMISSION INFORMATION:
>=======================
>
>Contributed papers and invited session proposals are solicited.
>Contributed papers and papers for invited sessions must comply with the
>IFAC conference format (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/ifac) and should
>not exceed 6 two-column pages. Prospective authors are invited to submit
>full papers in PDF format through the symposium website
>http://iav04.isr.ist.utl.pt For instructions on how to submit a proposal
>for an invited session, see the symposium web site.
>
>At least one of the authors of an accepted paper must register for the
>symposium. Accepted papers will appear in the conference Preprints (in
>CD-ROM format) distributed during the meeting.  Papers duly presented will
>be archived and offered for sale in the form of Proceedings volumes by
>Elsevier Science, Oxford, England.
>
>
>IFAC PUBLICATION AND COPYRIGHT POLICY:
>======================================
>The material submitted for presentation at an IFAC symposium must be
>original, not published or being considered elsewhere. All papers
>accepted for presentation will appear in the Preprints of the meeting
>which will be distributed to all registered participants. Papers duly
>presented will be archived and offered for sale in the form of
>Proceedings volumes by Elsevier Science, Oxford, England. The presented
>papers will be further screened for possible publication in the IFAC
>Journals Automatica and Control Engineering Practice, or in IFAC
>affiliated journals. All paper presented will be recorded in Control
>Engineering Practice.
>
>Copyright of material presented at an IFAC meeting is held by IFAC.
>Authors will be sent a copyright transfer form. Automatica, Control
>Engineering Practice and, after these, IFAC affiliated journals have
>priority access to all presented contributions. However, if the author
>is not contacted by an editor of these journals within three months
>after the meeting, he/she is free to re-submit the material for
>publication elsewhere. In this case, the paper must carry a reference to
>the IFAC meeting where it was originally presented. In case of doubt
>authors should consult the detailed IFAC Copyright conditions available
>from the IFAC Secretariat.
