VENUE
The workshop will be held at the Majestic Palace Hotel near downtown Florianópolis, the capital and second
largest city of Santa Catarina state in the Southern region of Brazil. Florianópolis consists of one main island,
a continental part, and surrounding small islands. The
city is sprawled along a relatively narrow island strip, being roughly 54 km long and 18 km wide. Florianópolis
is highly regarded for its intimate connection with nature.
The sea, hills and over 42 beaches make Florianópolis
a major destination for tourists from Brazil and abroad.
According to national statistics of 2011, the city population is about 430,000 residents, but this can triple in the
Summer season.
A full registration allows publication of one accepted paper.
• Regular registration: US$ 600 (early) and US$ 700
(late)
• Student registration: US$ 400 (early) and US$ 450
(late)

SCOPE
The increasing demand for energy and fossil fuels is leading oil operators to seek offshore production in reservoirs
far from the coast and in hostile environments. At the
same time, new technologies for drilling, measurement,
processing and automation are being developed opening
up new opportunities for oil production and optimization.
The effective use and integration of these emerging technologies during the oil field exploitation depend on the
academic and industrial research. This workshop will
bring together equipment and service supplier companies, oil operators, and academia in a forum where practitioners and scientists will present their ideas and recent
developments.
TOPICS
The focus of the meeting will be on instrumentation, control, automation and optimization applied to offshore oil
and gas production. Application areas of interest include:
• Subsea technology
• Measurement systems for well, subsea and surface
processes
• Automated well drilling
• Autonomous and robotic systems
• Production optimization
• Integrated operations and logistics
• Plantwide and advanced control
• Environmental issues and safety instrumented systems

PAPER SUBMISSION
Full papers should be submitted for review through
the manuscript management system (http://ifac.
papercept.net/). The papers will be reviewed by the
international program committee.
For the final submission of an accepted paper a full registration is required. It allows a paper with at most 6 pages.
Two additional pages are permitted at an extra charge of
USD 100 per page.
Initial submissions must be in PDF format, written in
English, and prepared according to the IFAC format in
double-column and with at most 8 pages.
Further instructions and templates (LaTeX and MS
Word) can be found in the website: http://www.ifaccontrol.org/events/information-for-ifac-authors.
Acceptance of a paper will be made in the understanding
that at least one of the authors will attend the workshop
to present the paper.
