Thepresent book includes a set of selected extended papers from the 12thInternational Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics (ICINCO2015), held in Colmar, France, from 21 to 23 July 2015. The conference brought togetherresearchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the application ofinformatics to Control, Automation and Robotics. Four simultaneous tracks willbe held, covering Intelligent Control Systems, Optimization, Robotics,Automation, Signal Processing, Sensors, Systems Modelling and Control, andIndustrial Engineering, Production and Management. Informatics applications arepervasive in many areas of Control, Automation and Robotics. ICINCO 2015received 214 submissions, from 42 countries, in all continents. After a doubleblind paper review performed by the Program Committee, 14% were accepted asfull papers and thus selected for oral presentation. Additional papers wereaccepted as short papers and posters. A further selection was made
after theConference, based also on the assessment of presentation quality and audienceinterest, so that this book includes the extended and revised versions of thevery best papers of ICINCO 2015. Commitment to high quality standards is amajor concern of ICINCO that will be maintained in the next editions,considering not only the stringent paper acceptance ratios but also the qualityof the program committee, keynote lectures, participation level and logistics.
Invited Papers.- Intelligent Control Systems and Optimization.- Robotics and Automation.- Signal Processing, Sensors, Systems Modelling and Control.
