SIAM Conference on Control and Its Applications (CT25)

Submissions

General Information

  • How to Participate

    Participants are limited to presenting a single presentation - either a minisymposium, a contributed talk, or poster presentation. (This does not apply to invited plenary speakers). The Organizing Committee Co-Chairs may make exceptions to this request.  All submissions are subject to review and final approval by the co-chairs. 

    You are invited to contribute a presentation in one of the formats listed below.

  • Acceptance Notification

    Authors will be notified by email in March 2025.

  • Speaker Cancellation

    The Organizing Committee expects every speaker in a scheduled presentation to register and attend. 
     
    If it becomes necessary for a speaker to cancel a presentation, they should try to find an alternate presenter immediately, preferably a co-author. See SIAM Policy on Substitute Speakers and Remote Presentations. Contact SIAM immediately with any change to a scheduled presentation. 
     
    A “no-show” or cancelled presentation can cause serious inconvenience to the attendees and organizers. The committee thanks all speakers in advance for their compliance to this request.

Minisymposia

A minisymposium generally consists of four 25-minute presentations, with an additional five minutes for discussion after each presentation. To ensure balance, SIAM prefers a single individual not be the organizer or co-organizer of more than one minisymposium, however, organizers can submit up to three (3) parts per minisymposium, allowing up to twelve (12) speakers. In addition, SIAM discourages minisymposia in which most of the speakers or co-authors come from the same institution.

A minisymposium comprised of multiple parts will be counted as a SINGLE minisymposium.

Participants are limited to one presentation, either a minisymposium, a contributed talk, or poster presentation. Minisymposium session organizers and individual speakers are equally responsible for ensuring participants adhere to the one talk per person rule.

It is recommended the first speaker provide an overview of the topic area. Each minisymposium speaker should submit an abstract no longer than 1,500 characters, including spaces. The organizing committee will referee minisymposium proposals. The number of minisymposia may be limited to retain an acceptable level of parallelism in sessions.

Please visit the Guidelines for Preparing a Minisymposium Proposal.

SIAM requires minisymposium organizers propose sessions with a minimum of three (3) confirmed speakers by the minisymposium submission deadline. Sessions submitted with a majority of speakers listed as “TBD/TBA,” or using placeholders, risk immediate rejection.

Prospective minisymposium organizers must submit a proposal consisting of a title, a description (not to exceed 1,500 characters, including spaces), a list of speakers, and presentation titles using the Conference Management System.

Deadline for submission of minisymposium proposals: January 13, 2025 (11:59 p.m. Eastern Time)
Deadline for submission of minisymposium speaker abstracts: January 27, 2025 (11:59 p.m. Eastern Time)

Contributed Presentations in Lecture or Poster Format

Contributed presentations in lecture or poster format are invited in all areas consistent with the themes. A lecture format is generally a 15-minute oral presentation with an additional five (5) minutes for discussion. Talk lengths will be determined by the co-chairs at the close of submissions.

Participants are limited to one presentation, either a minisymposium, a contributed talk, or poster presentation.

A poster format involves the use of non-electronic visual aids for mounting on a 4’ x 6’ or 4’ x 8’ poster board. A poster session is typically two hours long. Each contributor, either for a lecture or a poster, must submit a title and a brief abstract not to exceed 1,500 characters, including spaces.

Contributed presentations in lecture or poster format must be submitted using the Conference Management System (CMS).

Deadline for submission of contributed abstracts: January 27, 2025 (11:59 p.m. Eastern Time)
