The International Federation of Automatic Control was founded in September 1957. Our multinational federation is concerned with automatic control and its representation in the fields of engineering, science and the impact of control technology on society. Join us in challenging the new era in electronic communication, publication and exchange of ideas.
IFAC has made all of its technical publications, including fully reviewed papers presented at IFAC technical meetings, available on the Internet.
The IFAC Foundation solicits and funds innovative control engineering activities which promise to improve the state of knowledge of individuals and groups.
