They should address topics as outlined above and focus on insights and lessons gained from recent researches and practical experiences. Position papers describing new ideas, promising approaches, and work in progress are considered particularly appropriate. These papers should outline the contribution that the authors intend to make at the Workshop. The papers need to be submitted as PDF files through our WWW server: http://www.desdes.uz.zgora.pl Final Papers: The final papers must be prepared according to the Author's Kit Instructions (http://www1.elsevier.com/homepage/saf/ifac/site/IPV%20overview.htm). A corresponding LaTeX2e style file can be downloaded from our WWW server. To illustrate the style of papers required for IFAC meetings, sample pages are available in Word and PDF formats. Accepted papers must be presented in person at the Workshop. Correspondence: All correspondence should be addressed to the Workshop address: DESDes@iie.uz.zgora.pl Language: English will be the working language of the workshop and will be used for the proceedings, the presentations and discussions. No simultaneous translation will be provided. Important Dates: Draft papers submission: 30. April 2006 Notification of acceptance: 15. June 2006 Early Registration: 30.
