Background and Scope of the Conference
On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our pleasure to invite you to submit papers to the 22nd IFAC Conference on Technology, Culture and International Stability TECIS2024, which will take place on May 29-31, 2024 in South East Technological University, Waterford (Ireland) organized by the South East Technological University, Waterford. The scope of the conference will cover different aspects and topics (technological, methodological, cultural ) that impact on international stability.
Technology development leads to dramatic changes in international stability. It has never been so important to examine system stability. Currently and during recent years social international and national systems of control have been shown to be inadequate and prone to be unstable. Many basic assumptions are no longer certain and definitively questioned. This event will systematically examine a number of areas of scientific importance including but not limited to:
- Control and Automation to Improve Social
and Political Stability - Digital Culture
- Advanced Technology, Conflict and Post-
conflict - Digital Diversity and Inclusion
- Control, Automation and Intelligence for
Sustainable Cultural Heritage - Capacity Building in Less Developed
Regions - Enterprise Integration and Networking
- Cost Oriented Automation
- Semi-Automated Assembly and
Disassembly (EoL) - Advanced Intelligent Systems including
Industrial and Service Applications of AI - Cost Effective Operation and Maintenance
- Mechatronic Systems and Robotics
- Engineering Ethics
- Cross-cultural Aspects of Engineering
- Models & Simulation for International
Stability and related applications - Environmentally Sustainable Design and
Control - Developments and Opportunities in
Education

Diversity and Inclusion statement
IFAC, as an international federation serving and representing all those concerned with the theory and application of automatic control and systems engineering wherever situated, is devoted to creating and fostering an inclusive environment that is open to diverse thoughts, ideas, and communications, without fear of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation against any member of this community. It is committed to providing equal opportunities and a safe environment for every person who chooses to participate in its work. Additionally IFAC strives for these same principles for all IFAC activities, including technical events, journals, and its various committees and governing boards.
- IFAC actively promotes the inclusion of a diverse set of speakers, which will lead to more representative discussions across IFAC.
- IFAC actively promotes the inclusion of a diverse set of members of its boards and committees at all levels, which will lead to more representative decisions, policies and activities across IFAC.
