SysID 2024 Young Author Awards

The prize is for the best paper at the 2024 SysID of an author younger than 30 years by July 16, 2024. The author should be the first and should also present the results during the Symposium. A monetary prize of US 500 and a certificate are awarded at the closing ceremony of SysID 2024.

Nominations may be made by the supervisor or colleagues of the young author (no self-nominations) using the Young Author Prize nomination form, and must be submitted using the IFAC PaperPlaza conference manuscript management system. The nomination form must contain a clear statement indicating that the nominee is younger than 30 years by July 16, 2024.

The nomination phase will start on May 1st, 2024 and close on June 1 st, 2024. The SysID 2024 Young Author Prize Selection Committee will determine, based on the gathered reviews and on their own reading of the paper, a short list of finalists, and will notify authors. The winner is determined at the time of the Symposium, based on both the written paper and the oral presentation that should be given by the nominee.

Contribution categories

Regular Papers

Regular papers must present original, unpublished work which falls into the scope of the symposium and must not be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to six double-column pages.

Extended Abstract

Authors can also submit extended abstracts of at least 2000 words, describing preliminary work and/or with survey/tutorial content that will be subject to review and will be included in the preprints (USB-key) but will not appear in the on-line conference proceedings. Authors are welcome to submit extended abstracts of papers that have appeared last year or have been accepted for publication in an IFAC/ IEEE CSS journal and have not been or will not be presented at another conference.

Invited Papers

The International Program Committee encourages the submission of invited sessions with sets of six invited papers on a well-defined subject of current interest. These papers must present original, unpublished work and must not be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. An invited session should present a cohesive and comprehensive focus on a topic relevant to the scope of the symposium. It may start with a tutorial presentation which can be alotted a double time slot. In this case five papers are sufficient to compose a session. Authors of invited papers must also submit their papers.

Submission of Invited Papers

Invited papers are solicited by an organizer of an invited session. The invited session code will be needed to complete the submission. Invited papers must present original, unpublished work which falls into the scope of the symposium and must not be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere

How to Submit an Invited Session Proposal

Organizers of invited sessions should perform the following steps:

1. Contact potential authors to obtain a list of authors, paper titles and abstracts

2. Write a four page session proposal. This should describe the theme and content, demonstrate its coherence, and argue its significance and relevance. The proposed session should profile 6 specified papers (or 5 when the first paper is a tutorial). At a minimum, the proposal should contain the following information:

The title of the session
The name and full contact details of the session organizer
A description of the session theme and an argument supporting its significance
A list of the proposed session contributions, including titles, authors, and corresponding author of each paper
The abstract of each paper 3. Generate a PDF

4. Submit your proposal through the PaperPlaza Conference Manuscript Management System. As part of this process, you will be provided with an invited session code.

5. Pass the invited session code to the corresponding author of each paper in the session. Authors will need to specify this number when submitting their papers.

Software Session Papers

Software session papers are papers presenting the latest developments in software for system identification and related topics in control but also interactive learning tools for system identification. This includes, but is not limited to, new software toolboxes, or recent developments of existing program packages. The presented software should be complete in the sense that it can be made available to the public under certain conditions. Software session papers must present original, unpublished work which falls into the scope of the symposium and must not be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All software session papers will be subject to review and assessment by the International Programme Committee. Manuscripts are limited to six double-column pages. These may also be extended abstracts rather than full papers, but must be at least 2000 words, and convey sufficient detail as to allow an informed peer review. Extended abstracts will appear in the USB-key containing the preprints, but will not be included in the conference proceedings.

Authors are expected to bring their own laptops for demonstrations.

Tutorial Sessions:

Tutorial Sessions should present a comprehensive tutorial of a topic of current interest to SysId attendees that is not readily available elsewhere. Organizers are free to split the presentation of each contribution/paper in more than one talk and also to decide the length of each talk but the session should not exceed 2 hours. The procedure to submit a tutorial session is similar to the submission of an invited proposals. In the description, the organizers must clearly articulate the goal of the session, its intended audience and the rationale for having a tutorial in the chosen topic as part of SysID

Instructions for Authors

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