Paper Submission

Contributions to Automatica.it 2026 must be submitted through EasyChair.

The deadline for the submissions is

July the 15th, 2026.

During the submission process, authors are asked to select one of the following topics:

  • Control Systems
  • Robotics and Autonomous Systems
  • Industrial Automation
  • Intelligent Systems

Contributions should consist of an extended abstract of at most 2 pages (free format), including figures and references. Traditionally, the IEEE double column format is used. All extended abstracts and presentation slides must be written in English.

Submissions may include original research contributions, previously published works, or concise reports describing research activities developed in recent years that may be of interest to the broader automatic control community.
Contributions may also summarize the results of recently completed or ongoing research projects, or present experimental applications of theoretical results.

All submissions will be evaluated by the Programme Committee based on their scientific quality and relevance to the congress topics.

During the submission process, authors will be asked to select the track or special session that best matches the topic of their contribution. The available tracks and special sessions are listed below.

DAuSy Poster Session

A dedicated poster session for the National PhD Program in Autonomous Systems (DAuSy) will be organized during Automatica.it 2026. Participants are responsible for printing and bringing their poster to the congress. Posters will be displayed on traditional poster boards, and the organizers will provide the necessary material for attaching them. Posters must be prepared in portrait orientation and must not exceed A0 size (118.9 cm height × 84.1 cm width).

IEEE CSS Italy Chapter – Best Master’s Thesis Session

Automatica.it 2026 will host a special session dedicated to the Best Master’s Theses in Automatic Control, organized with the support of the IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) Italy Chapter. The session will feature presentations by selected recent graduates whose master’s theses have been recognized by the IEEE CSS Italy Chapter as outstanding contributions in the field of automatic control and its applications.
The session aims to highlight the quality of research carried out by young scholars and to promote interaction between students, researchers, and the broader control community.

Industrial Session

Automatica.it 2026 will feature a dedicated Industrial Session aimed at fostering dialogue between academia and industry. The session will provide a forum for discussing current challenges, emerging trends, and technological opportunities in automation and control, with particular attention – but not limited – to applications of relevance to the industrial ecosystem of the Emilia-Romagna region. Contributions may present industrial case studies, collaborative research projects, innovative technologies, or open problems of interest to the automatic control community. The session is intended to promote interaction between researchers, practitioners, and companies, encouraging the exchange of ideas and the development of future collaborations.

SMC Day – AI-enhanced Control for Cyber-Physical-Human Systems

Automatica.it 2026 will host a special SMC Day, organized in collaboration with the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMC). The event will feature an invited session focused on the theme “AI-enhanced Control for Cyber-Physical-Human Systems”, bringing together contributions that explore the integration of artificial intelligence and control in complex socio-technical systems involving physical processes, digital infrastructures, and human interaction. The session aims to promote discussion on emerging research directions at the intersection of control, AI, and cyber-physical systems.

Awards

As customary for Automatica.it, SIDRA will assign two awards to the best contributions presented at the congress. The awards will be decided by an Award Committee, which will evaluate the contributions based on their:

  • originality,
  • scientific rigor,
  • significance for the field,
  • clarity of presentation.
