Hybrid Systems and AI:
Modeling, Analysis and Control of Discrete + Continuous Systems

For general submission information, return to the main web page.

Authors should submit their papers via the web using the Postdoc system available from NASA Ames. Postdoc will accept papers in a variety of different formats including postscript, PDF, ascii, and MS Word. For ease of distribution, we would prefer that papers be submitted in either postscript or PDF format. Appended are step-by-step instructions. These instructions are also available directly at the postdoc web site. Thanks to Dan Clancy who will be overseeing our use of this system. If you have any questions about using Postdoc, please contact Dan .

Instructions on how to use postdoc:

Step 0:  Change to the submissions folder by clicking on the folder icon .
            (You can get to the appropriate folder directly by clicking here.)

Step 1:  Add the document (your paper):

1. Select "Add" from the "Mode" list.
2. Select the "Document" radio button in the "Item Type" list near the bottom of the page.   This is the default, so you should not need to do anything.
3. Click the "Add Item" button. This will pop up the "Add Document" page.
4. Fill in the title of your paper in the "Document name" field.
5. Use the "Browse" button to select the submission file on your local machine.
6. Select the "File type" from the list of available file types.

If you are posting a Word document, you need not convert it to Word 6.0 as was required at the time of submissions.  We now have Office 98 for the Macintosh that should be able to read your files (I hope!).
7. Fill in the the list of authors in the "Description" field. You may add additional comments in this field.
8. Click on the "Add" button.

1. Click on the little "i" button next to your paper.  This should pop up the "Item relationships" page.
2. Change the "User Relationships" so that "User, Guest" has only the Author (A) relationship, and not Owner or Writable.  This will ensure that no guest user can accidentally delete your paper or change the relationships (only owners can change the relationship).   You may leave it Readable by guest readers, since we expect to have all papers available on the Web (unless, of course, there are objections).
3. Change the relationship of "Daniel J. Clancy" to have the Owner, Readable, and Writable relationships.  This will ensure that I can download your papers.
4. Click on Update Relationships to effect the changes.
