大會安排了397個口頭報告組(Oral Sessions, 共2323篇論文,其中132個為邀請組)、7個張貼組(Poster Sessions,共368篇論文)、2個影像組(Video Sessions, 共11個Videos)、9個大會報告組、6個CC Milestone組和2個Panel Discussion組。與上屆不同,本屆沒有Semi-Plenary Talks. 但Plenary Talk明顯增多,從上屆的6個增至本屆的9個(見附錄 2)。
本屆大會組委會做了很大的努力,獲得了包括Humax, Samsung Electronics, Korea Electronic Power Corporation, Korea Power Exchange (KPX), Hyundai Motor, POSCO, LG Industrial Systems, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Hyundai Mobis, POSCON, Topfield, Fine Digital, Sanion, Suprema等在內的26個工業單位/公司的大力支持和贊助。對參加會議的青年學者和亞洲學生給予了大力支持和資助。
會議期間,我國代表除積極參加IFAC會議的各項學術交流外,還積極參與IFAC組織的有關會議及活動。7月7日中國自動化學會副理事長郭雷院士、席裕庚教授,副秘書長張紀峰教授,以及中國科學院合肥智能機械研究所的熊范綸教授等參加了IFAC成員國代表大會(General Assembly)。IFAC成員國代表大會在每次IFAC大會期間召開,主要議程包括總結過去三年的活動、審議IFAC的章程及議事程序、選舉下一屆的IFAC主席和執委會成員。目前,IFAC成員國有49個,其中37個參加了本屆IFAC成員國代表大會。考慮到地域覆蓋性及參加這次IFAC大會的代表有不少來自非成員國(地區),本屆成員國代表大會特邀請了一些非成員國(地區), 特別是亞洲地區的代表列席了會議。
本屆成員國大會由本屆IFAC主席Wook-Hyun Kwon教授主持。他介紹了IFAC PapersOnLine的進展情況。IFAC PapersOnLine旨在充分利用數字出版技術和高速因特網,在網上發行所有在IFAC會議上宣讀的論文。這項工作始自2006年9月,目前已完成,被IFAC成員國代表大會認為是IFAC這三來的最重要進展。技術局主席(Technical Board Chair) S. L. Jamsa-Jounela教授總結了過去三年IFAC的各項學術活動情況,她說雖然各項學術活動數量、規模上與前三年持平,但學術水平有了很大提高。執行委員會主席(Executive Board Chair) Peter Fleming教授介紹了執行委員會過去三年的工作情況,包括IFAC各項獎的協調、評審,IFAC PapersOnLine的構建,以及IFAC的財政、日常運行等情況。此外,還介紹了IFAC的財務狀況。大會一致通過了上述工作報告,并進行了執委會換屆選舉。我會副理事長郭雷院士當選為新一屆執委會委員(Council Member)。 新一屆執委會由18位成員組成,分別是:Alberto Isidori, Ian K. Craig, Iven Mareels, Roger Goodall, Wook-Hyun Kwon, Lino Guzzella, Frank Allgower, Luis Basanez, A. Talha Dinibutun, Torkel Glad, Lei Guo, Abraham Haddad, Hidenori Kimura, Alexander B. Kurzhanski, Arturo Molina, Jurek Sasiadek, Michael Sebek, Janan Zaytoon. 郭雷院士自2005年至今一直是IFAC執委會的委員,目前是他任期的第二屆。7月5日與7月12日郭雷院士分別參加了IFAC上一屆執委會(Outgoing Council)最后一次會議和新一屆執委會(Incoming Council)第一次會議。會議批準通過了一系列新的任命,中國科學院合肥智能機械研究所的熊范綸研究員任Bio and Ecological Systems協調委員會主席(CC8 Chair);香港科技大學的曹希仁教授繼續擔任Systems and Signals協調委員會主席(CC9 Chair);上海交通大學的席裕庚教授任獎勵委員會(Awards Committee)委員,負責Journal of Process Control論文的評獎工作;中國科學院數學與系統科學研究院的程代展研究員任政策委員會(Policy Committee)委員;中國科學院自動化研究所的王飛躍研究員任Economic and Business Systems委員會主席(TC9.1 Chair); 中國科學院數學與系統科學研究院的張紀峰研究員任Modelling,
Identification and Signal Processing 委員會副主席(TC1.1 Vice-Chair). IFAC目前有9個協調委員會(Coordinating Committee, 簡稱CC), 每個CC有3到5個技術委員會(Technical Committee, 簡稱TC),共40個TC;而每個TC都有幾十位委員(從二十幾位到八十幾位不等),合計約兩千人次。中國是系統控制領域的大國,近幾屆IFAC世界大會所占投稿及錄用比例都很高,可來自中國的TC Chair和TC 委員卻很少(TC Chair和Vice-Chair分別只有一位,委員也只有三十位左右)。這是一個非常值得我們思考和重視的問題。
下一屆(第18屆)IFAC世界大會將于2011年在意大利的米蘭召開。本屆會議期間,意大利的組織者介紹了籌備情況。
