1. Welcome address
Prof. Klaus Schilling ACA Chair of National Organizing Committee University of Würzburg, Germany Dear conference guests, It is my pleasure and honour to invite you to the IFAC ACA conference in Würzburg. This location offers a perfect mix of rich historical heritage and high-tech innovations, and can be easily reached by high speed trains (directly connecting Frankfurt, Munich and Nürnberg Airports). The University, founded in the year 1402, has been a proud home of 14 Nobel laureates who have researched and taught here. This list includes Prof. Roentgen, discoverer of the X-rays and whose lab can still be visited. Current activities can be seen in a laboratory tour related to the conference topics. The city of Würzburg was founded 1300 years ago on the banks of the river Main and is surrounded by vineyards and historical monuments. Several interesting medieval cities (Rothenberg, Dinkelsbühl) are in the near vicinity and Würzburg is also the starting point of the "Romantic Road" that leads to King Ludwig's castles. Prominent touristic places to visit in Würzburg are the castle, hosting museums of art, and the baroque residence of the bishop (a UNESCO world heritage site). I am looking forward to meeting you in Würzburg in September to share with you the technical highlights of the conference, as well as the cultural treasures of this region. Klaus Schilling

12. Scope & Topics Scope
Focusing on aerospace applications, the symposium will cover all aspects of the dynamics, navigation, guidance and control in astronautics and aeronautics, spanning from theoretical studies to industrial applications. It will include navigation, guidance and control of aircraft, helicopters, missiles, satellites and probes, ELV and RLV launchers. Autonomous, intelligent, unmanned and networked are key words for rapidly evolving fields of aerospace systems. Particularly, cooperative/distributed control for multiple air/space vehicles including formation flight and air traffic control is a hot topic. Space exploration and transportation to planets, satellites, comets, asteroids, etc., is a typical application field of automatic control. Papers on these topics are also sought. Recent progresses of electronic technologies, which have provided inexpensive microprocessors and sensors including cameras and GPS receivers, have encouraged students to design and launch/fly small satellites, UAVs and MAVs. This symposium will offer an opportunity of presentation of student's projects. In addition, forthcoming trends, perspectives and future research projects are welcome, as well as current projects and technologies.
Topics
・Aircraft/Helicopter dynamics, control, guidance and navigation ・UAV dynamics, control, guidance and navigation ・Spacecraft dynamics, control, guidance and navigation ・Launcher, RLV and ARV guidance and control ・Missile dynamics, control, guidance and navigation ・Micro- and nano-aerospace vehicles/satellites ・Space robotics, including rovers ・Space exploration and transportation ・Air traffic management/communication, navigation and surveillance ・Engine control ・Guidance, control and estimation theory ・Control algorithms implementation ・Flexible structure control ・Avionics and on-board equipment ・Flight dynamics identification ・Formation flying ・Cooperative/distributed guidance and control ・Health monitoring, diagnosis and reconfiguration ・Decision making and autonomy ・Mission control and operations ・Sensor data fusion ・High accuracy pointing ・Aerospace student projects ・Space debris mitigation

21. Tourist Information and Local Amenities Highlights of Würzburg include one of Europe’s most well know baroque castles and UNESCO World Heritage Site the Residence, the medieval fortress Marienberg, the historic town hall building and the Romanesque cathedral “St. Kilian.” From the old bridge “Alte Mainbrücke” situated right next to the town hall, you will enjoy fantastic views of the fortress “Marienberg,” the pilgrimage church “Käppele” with sloping stretches of Würzburg’s famous vineyards.
Take a walk in the gardens adjacent to the Residence Palace, a baroque UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site built by the famous architect Balthasar Neumann. Explore the interior of this former home of the local Prince-Bishops to see the Imperial Hall and the famous ceiling fresco painted by Tiepolo above the central staircase.
Cross the river Main on the Old Main Bridge (Alte Mainbrücke), the oldest existing bridge crossing the stream, lined by statues of saints, to climb up to the mighty Marienburg Fortress (Festung Marienberg). Rising above Würzburg, you can spot the church Käppele and enjoy a panoramic view of the town and the adjacent vineyards from there. Sample the Franconian Wine (Frankenwein) while diving into the local nightlife in one of the numerous pubs and restaurants. Würzburg features countless sights and places to visit – ask the local staff for pointers where to start.
