Message
from the TC Chair Gerard Gissinger
The
target of TC 7.1 for SEOUL was to be able to organize enough Automotive
Control sessions to obtain a significant a "RED LINE"
through the World Congress. We planned invited sessions, regular
sessions, a poster session and a round table. Our Korean colleagues
were organizing a Korean Automotive Highlight Program. The possibility
to merge this two events appeared during the review process.
The final result is the following: 5 invited sessions (a session
= 6 twenty minutes papers), 14 regular sessions (7 in the field
of chassis control, 6 in the field of powertrain, including hybrid
vehicles, 1 special session for the "Korean Automotive Hightlight
Program"), 1 Round Table, 1 poster session with 25 posters.
Every paper had, at least , two reviews, if possible three. The
paper quality level was really good and the rejection rate relatively
low. 130 papers have been accepted from more then 160 proposals
(TC 7.1 was prepared to review about 70 to 80 papers!). The quality
of the proposal will probably be recognized through recommendations
for different journal publications. We have also possible candidates
for an award of best publication.
Dear colleague, as you can see, the World Congress in Seoul 2008
is a very attractive event for our community. The idea about a
RED LINE, discussed in PRAGUE will certainly be a real success.
I would like thank all of you for your paper proposal, for your
participation in TC 7.1 and for your help !
See
you in SEOUL
Gerard
