Abstract: These instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers for IFAC technical
meetings. Please use this document as a template to prepare your manuscript. For submission
guidelines, follow instructions on paper submission system as well as the event website.

1. INTRODUCTION

This document is a template for LATEX 2ε . If you are

reading a paper or PDF version of this document, please
download the electronic file ifacconf.tex. You will also
need the class file ifacconf.cls. Both files are available
on the IFAC web site.
Please stick to the format defined by the ifacconf class,
and do not change the margins or the general layout of the
paper. It is especially important that you do not put any
running header/footer or page number in the submitted
paper. 1 Use italics for emphasis; do not underline.
Page limits may vary from conference to conference. Please
observe the page limits of the event for which your paper
is intended.

A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is
punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this).
(A parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the paren-
theses.) Avoid contractions; for example, write “do not”
instead of “don’ t”. The serial comma is preferred: “A, B,
and C” instead of “A, B and C”.

5. CONCLUSION

A conclusion section is not required. Although a conclusion

may review the main points of the paper, do not replicate
the abstract as the conclusion. A conclusion might elabo-
rate on the importance of the work or suggest applications
and extensions.
