The newly updated Open Invited Tracks are: Control and data-driven modelling in biomedicine, Supply Network Engineering, Dynamics, and Control, Multi-agent distributed learning and optimization of dynamical systems, Cooperative control and navigation for UAVs,  Optimal control of bioprocesses.

On Monday, August 22, the number of submitted contributions to IFAC 2017 World Congress has risen over one hundred. There is still more than two months left before deadline (see call for papers) and this figure is encouraging. At this stage, two-thirds of the contributions are Open Invited Tracks (see here the list of submitted tracks).
