All accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and will be indexed by relevant databases. It will be offered to publish extended version of the accepted paper in scientific journal Automatic Control and Computer Sciences (indexed by Scopus, Web of Science).
RTUWO’18 will be special because it is held couple days before 100-year anniversary of Republic of Latvia.
