Repository of papers presented at previous European IFSA Symposia

Here you find the papers presented at previous European IFSA Symposia. We aim at making these papers available to the wider public and to inspire contributions to the upcoming European IFSA Symposia.

You can either browse through the proceedings of the symposia, where the contributions are grouped per workshops and listed as in the printed proceedings. Or you can use the search tool to look for a specific author, topic or key word (see the search field in the upper right corner of the screen)

We have included as many papers presented at previous European IFSA Symposium as we could. Unfortunately we could not reach all the authors individually. If, for any reason, you want your paper to be removed from the Website, please send an email to: ika.darnhofer<a>boku.ac.at and we will remove the paper right away.
