Scope

Modern telecommunications and information processing technologies provide tremendously increasing new activity possibilities and R&D challenges in the area of remote services, both in traditional industrial automation and no-industrial applications, like mobile machines and robots, traffic systems, constructed infrastructures, buildings and homes. The aim of the second event, after the first one in Weingarten 2001, is to further survey and takes up those applications of telematics, which have central meaning in automation and control. Methodologies, technologies and special application topics related to the area will be considered. The aim of the symposium is also to bring together different actors in the field, research organizations, industrial and non-industrial users, service providers, like automation companies and teleoperators, to discuss about the future development. The symposium is linked together with the 16th IFAC Symposium on Automatic Control in Aerospace ACA2004, which will be held in StPetersburg prior to this symposium, to provide those participants interested in telematics applications in space to participate in both meetings.
