Topics - special focus on Cybersecurity

In addition to emerging fault-tolerant control systems generally addressed in the successive editions of SysTol, Cybersecurity will play a special role in the fifth edition of SysTol Conference. For decades industrial control systems have been the target of by hackers who use weaknesses in security systems to launch attacks affecting the physical system. These cyber attacks can cause significant damage to the target system, its environment and product quality or production equipment. It then becomes vital to develop detection mechanisms by implementing control filters close to the controlled process. In this context, intrusion detection systems guarantee that the functionality of the system is respected despite attacks, whether in degraded mode.

The conference will bring together academics, engineers and practitioners active in the fields of fault diagnosis, fault tolerant control and their application in process monitoring and maintenance. The conference main aims are:

• to showcase current research results and recent developments in intelligent techniques,
• to present practical applications and emphasize open issues,
• to provide a forum for industry to communicate its needs and priorities.

The four previous editions of the International Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems (SysTol’10, ‘13, ‘16, ‘19) were successful and demonstrated the needs to establish a permanent scientific forum in the general field of system monitoring, fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control. The conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems (SysTol’21), through its technical program, will provide a unique opportunity for the academic and industrial community to formulate new challenges, share solutions and discuss future research directions.

Topics of SysTol’21 includes (but are not limited to):

Paper submission/proceedings

Papers must be submitted electronically via web upload only. Full papers should be submitted in standard IEEE A4 paper and double-column format for conferences. Six pages are allowed for each paper. All papers, invited session proposals, pre-conference workshop proposals and tutorial proposals must be submitted electronically through the PaperCept Conference Management System.

If you encounter difficulties with the margins when compiling your .tex document, please add the following line:
\usepackage[left=54pt,right=37pt,top=54pt,bottom=104pt]{geometry}

Submitted papers will undergo a peer review process, coordinated by the Program Chairs and the IPC.
Registered and presented papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore.

Invited sessions

Researchers who would like to organise one or more Invited Sessions on topics falling within the scope of the conference are invited to submit a proposal for consideration. This should include: the title of the session, a copy of the session abstract as well as individual paper abstracts from each of the proposed participants. Through the submission website, please submit an invited session proposal.
An invited session identification code will be communicated to the corresponding proposer and should be used by the prospective contributors.
