Scope

The WFCS workshop is the largest IEEE technical event specially dedicated to industrial communication systems. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners and developers to review current trends in this area and to present and discuss new ideas and new research directions. Previous workshops were held in Leysin, Switzerland, in Oct. 1995, Barcelona, Spain, in Oct. 1997, Porto, Portugal, in Sept.2000, Västerås, Sweden, in Aug. 2002, and Vienna, Austria, in Sept. 2004.

Focus on:

• Real-time and Dependability in Industrial Communication Systems: message scheduling; task allocation; fault-tolerant communication; performance analysis; safety and security issues.
• Vertical Integration in Industrial Communication Systems: web-based setup, maintenance, and configuration; transparency vs. security; data-flow management; internetworking; hybrid wired/wireless industrial infrastructures.
• Information and Communication Technology in Automation: system design; distributed objects, components and web frameworks; mobile computing; network computing; client/server computing; modelling and specification techniques; formal methods.
• Recent advances in research domains with similar technical requirements: networked control systems; wireless sensor networks; building automation networks; automotive and train-control networks; distributed real-time embedded systems.
