IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR AUTHORS: The International Program Committee (IPC) and the National Organizing Committee (NOC) of the IFAC CAO 2022 recognize that the Covid-19 pandemic could continue disrupting the normal course of life in July 2022. The objective remains to host an event in person, but the IPC and NOC want to reassure all the authors that appropriate mitigating measures, such as a remote presentation and participation, will be set up should anyone face travel restrictions.

Regular and Invited Session Contributions

• For initial submission, the papers are limited to 8-pages
• For final submission, papers are limited to 6 pages
• All papers will go through the standard review process by IPC. The papers are to be of high technical quality.
• If accepted and included in the conference program, the paper will appear in the IFAC-PapersOnLine series in a fully open access form through the partnership with Elsevier. PapersOnLine is hosted on the ScienceDirect platform:
