The Organising Committee has the pleasure of inviting you to participate in the 7th IFAC Conference on Analysis and Design of Hybrid Systems (ADHS 21) to be held in Brussels, Belgium, July 7-9, 2021.

ADHS 2021 will take place at the University Foundation, Brussels and is organized by the department of Applied Mathematics of UCLouvain. Virtual attendance will be possible, and the extent of this possibility will be adapted to the situation of the pandemia.
The conference happens under the auspices of IFAC and is sponsored by the IFAC Technical Committee on Discrete Event and Hybrid Systems.

Contributions are invited in all areas pertaining to the engineering of hybrid systems including: modelling, specification, verification, analysis, control synthesis, simulation, validation, and implementation. We solicit papers and invited session proposals describing theoretical or applied research in the area. We also welcome papers describing tools, reporting case studies or connecting the cognate fields of control theory and formal verification.

Contributions are encouraged on applications of hybrid methods in various fields, such as automotive, avionics, energy and power, mobile and autonomous robotics, the process and manufacture industry, transportation and infrastructure networks, communication networks and networked control systems, cyber-physical systems, safety-critical systems, systems and synthetic biology.

An interactive session with scientists from the industry will be organized. A poster session will be organized and IFAC Young Author, Best Paper, Best Repeatability and Best Poster Prizes will be awarded.

The Program Chairs are planning to edit a special issue of NAHS: the authors of selected papers will be invited to contribute with significantly revised and extended versions of their manuscripts, containing new results.

New this year: ADHS'21 will feature a repeatability evaluation (RE). In other words, all accepted papers which include computational artifacts will be invited to submit these for evaluation to be conducted by a RE program committee. In this way, we aim to improve the reproducibility of computational results in the papers accepted for publication. Note that it is optional to submit an RE package, i.e., availability of a RE package will not affect the final publication of the corresponding paper. Papers whose RE packages pass the repeatability evaluation will be listed online and in the final proceedings. At the same time, papers whose RE package does not pass the repeatability evaluation criteria will be treated the same as papers which do not submit RE packages.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author Guidelines

* Regular papers: Regular papers can have a length of up to 8 pages at submission. Accepted papers are limited to 6 pages in the conference preprints and on-line proceedings. For papers describing tools, please tick the keyword "Computational tools" upon submission.

* Invited session proposals: Invited sessions consist of 4 to 6 papers related to a common theme that fits within the scope of ADHS. An invited session proposal should contain a short description of the common theme as well as the list of papers in the session and their abstracts.
The invited session organiser first has to submit the pdf file of the session proposal (without participating papers). The IFAC Conference Manuscript Management System then returns an acknowledgment that contains an alpha-numeric code for the proposed session. Subsequently, the organiser has to notify the contributing authors of their invited session code. The corresponding author of each paper then submits the paper on-line as an invited paper.

* Invited session papers: Invited session papers can have a length of up to 8 pages at submission. Invited session papers go through the same review process as regular papers. Accepted papers are limited to 6 pages in the conference preprints and on-line proceedings. Submission as an invited session paper requires the invited session code, which can be obtained from the session organiser.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission Instructions

* The website for submission is: https://ifac.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/start.pl

* All papers submitted to ADHS 21 must be written in English and formatted in the standard IFAC 2-column format, provided on the IFAC Conference Management System website.

* For initial submissions, all regular and invited session papers are limited to eight (8) pages. The submission website will not permit longer papers to be uploaded.

* For the final upload, all accepted and invited papers are limited to six (6) pages.

* For each accepted paper, at least one of the authors should have a full registration in order to have the paper included in the preprints and the post-conference on-line proceedings at IFAC-PapersOnLine.

* Author's kits with style (.cls) files for LaTeX are available from the submission website. Go to http://ifac.papercept.net<http://ifac.papercept.net/> and select "Support" for these files and example files, or directly go to the support page. Please do not change the formatting in any way.
