The 3rd International Conference on Physics and Control (PhysCon 2007) will be held on September 3rd to 7th 2007 at the University of Potsdam in the UNESCO world heritage city of Potsdam, Germany. For further information see the official website.

It was a success with 190 registered participants. 46 participants came from outside of Russia, including 9 from Japan, 6 from Germany, 3 from China, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, 2 from France. 212 talks (6 plenary, 3 invited and 70 poster) representing 35 countries were included into the preliminary program. 184 papers are included into the CD-ROM Proceedings and will be published in the IEEExplore Electronic Library. It was decided to organize the next "Physics and Control" Conference in 2007, probably in Potsdam, Germany. After the closing ceremony the foundation meeting of the International Physics And Control Society (IPACS) took place. At the meeting the IPACS Regulations have been approved and the new International Society has been established. The Physics and Control Resources portal will now be conducted by the IPACS Board. More information will be available soon.

Electronic submission and reviewing for PhysCon 2005 is managed by the special conference management system COMS. It allows to register and submit papers, to store them in the database, to upload and manage reviews, to send messages. Every author or reviewer is provided with a virtual office. Reviewing results and reviewers' comments will be available to the authors after the acceptance/rejection decision. See details at the Conference submission site

In August 2003, the 1st International Conference "Physics and Control" was held in St.Petersburg, Russia. The conference was a success with about 250 participants from 33 countries and demonstrated existence of a broad scientific community at the borderland between Physics and Control and a strong need to enhance information exchange among its members. To promote such an exchange the information portal "Physics and Control Resources" (PHYSCON) has been launched. Visitors will find at PHYSCON information about centers and groups, events, education and information websites, organizations and funds, publications, news - everything related to Physics and Control worldwide. We invite you, your friends and colleagues to visit PHYSCON at http://physcon.ru Send your comments and/or suggestions as well as additional information and links for inclusion into PHYSCON to info@physcon.ru
