Dear Colleague,

The International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics Committee cordially invites you to participate in the ICINCO-2008 Conference, to be held in Funchal, Madeira - Portugal. ICINCO is currently on its 5th edition and it is already a world-class conference and a top reference in its area, where prestigious researchers and invited keynote speakers come to present their work (http://www.icinco.org/Previous_Invited_Speakers.htm).

The deadline for paper submission is November 20. You may check the conference web site (http://www.icinco.org) for further details. Below, 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.

We are also inviting the proposal of Special Sessions (see http://www.icinco.org/Special_Sessions.htm) and Workshops (see http://www.icinco.org/Workshops.htm).

Looking forward to receiving you paper submission next November. Don't hesitate contacting me should you have any questions.

Best regards, Marina Carvalho ICINCO Secretariat
