Regular Contributions

Regular contributions will be selected on the originality, technical soundness, quality of written exposition and relevance to IFAC MIM2025 topics. Initial submissions are at least 4 pages long and most 8 pages long, with a strict 6 pages limit for final manuscripts to be included in the IFAC-PapersOnLine proceedings. Presentations are in oral sessions during the conference in a 20 minutes format, including questions.

All manuscripts should be prepared and submitted according to IFAC requirements.

Post-conference Proceedings will be published in IFAC-PapersOnLine (Elsevier) with DOI, the articles of Proceedings will be in open access. IFAC journals and other top journals, such as IJPR,ANOR, IJISM, PPC, FLEX will select papers for post-conference publications in regular and special issues.

Discussion Contributions – Extended Abstracts

Discussion Contributions (extended abstract) are for bringing forward specific topics within the scope of IFAC MIM2025, especially for participants from the industry, as well as government and education sectors. It may also be an opportunity to discuss ongoing research. Submissions are in the form of an extended abstract of at most 4 pages. Discussion Contributions have a late submission deadline and will go under a fast review process based on the relevance to the audience at IFAC MIM2025. Presentations of Discussion Contribution may be either in oral sessions or in interactive sessions. Extended abstracts will NOT be included in the IFAC-PapersOnLine proceedings, but only in the preprints.

Open Invited Tracks

Open Invited Tracks have no upper limit on the number of papers but only those having gathered more than three sessions (each of which with at least 5 papers) will be considered. The IFAC MIM2025 web site will advertise the submitted open invited tracks. Organizers are asked to submit proposals as early as possible and no later than the open invited tracks submission closure. Organizers obtain upon submission an open invited track code. As soon as an open invited track is submitted, the IPC Chairs will verify the relevance of the submitted topic with respect to the scope of IFAC. The open invited track code will also be displayed on the symposium web site. Contributors are asked to enter this invited track code when submitting their papers.

Special Sessions

Special sessions (Industrial, New Frontiers, Special Projects, etc):
Special sessions offer a venue for the presentation of topics of special academic, social or industrial interest, such as emerging research areas or most recent trends in manufacturing modelling, management and control. The format of special sessions is more flexible – it allows a panel discussion, a workshop or a round table led by the session chair(s), to motivate the exchange of opinions among presenters and participants. Special session presentations may be in the form of either regular papers (6 pages) and extended abstract (max 4pages)
