Program Co-Chair of WFCS2014

CISTER/INESC-TEC researcher Eduardo Tovar was program co-chair of the 10th IEEE Workshop on Factory Communication Systems (WFCS) held on May 5-7 in Toulouse, France. The WFCS workshop is the largest IEEE technical event specially dedicated to industrial communication systems, which aims to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners and developers to review current trends in this area and to present and discuss new ideas and new research directions.

The 2014 program included two interesting keynotes, one on on-board networks in space systems by Olivier Notebaert, Airbus Defence and Space, France, and another one on the history of industrial communication systems over the last two decades (from Fieldbus to Automation cloud) by Peter Neumann, IFAK Magdeburg, Germany.

CISTER/INESC-TEC was the organizer of the 2000 edition in Porto (http://www.hurray.isep.ipp.pt/wfcs2000/)
