Conference Update - 2nd Call for Papers
 Following on from suggestions received of topics delegates would like to see addressed at the next Conference, the Papers Committee has issued a 2nd Call for Papers with deadline extended to 31st January 2010.
Papers covering current
"hot topics" are especially welcome. This year, for example, we plan to
have several presentations where PROFIBUS has been used in energy monitoring or
management systems to help reduce fuel costs.
The Committee are looking for speakers who are willing to make a short (30/40 minute) presentation on applications
and other user aspects of PROFIBUS and PROFINET. Topics can include system
design, commissioning and maintenance and can cover any application area or
industry sector. Interactive
presentations featuring live demonstrations and hands-on activities are
particularly welcome.
Proposals for presentations or workshops should be sent to The Papers Committee at uk@profibus.com addressing
the following points:
Working title and name of presenter
Preferred method of presentation: Formal
paper or workshop
List up to 10 bullet points to show the
subject matter to be covered
