The Plenary defines the internal rules. In particular, it elects the Scientific Coordinator. It also votes the annual activity reports and the budget allocation when proposing the work plan to the the FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (the National Foundation for Science and Technology). The Steering Committee defines the main lines of research activity and management of the Unit. The Scientific Coordinator is a member of the Scientific Council, elected by the Council, who is responsible for all management activity and for the scientific co-ordination of the Unit.

2. Short Description of the Unit Mission and dominant research areas The Instituto de Sistemas e Robótica - Porto (ISR-Porto) is a R&D Unit of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, co-ordinated at National level and financed by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT). It is a horizontal structure housing the activities of researchers from the Departments of Electrical and Chemical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering and also of researchers from other Organic Units of the University of Porto and other Institutions of Higher Education. The mission and objectives of ISR-Porto can be summarised and characterised as follows: Complementary research activities of both a fundamental and an applied nature; Postgraduate teaching and advanced technical training; International and industrial cooperation; Technology development and transfer. In terms of dominant research areas, the following domains are covered: Process systems and control engineering; Optimisation and control theory; Manufacturing and robotics technologies; Industrial automation. Human resources and internal organization Human resources represent the Unit's real asset. Currently 35 Permanent Researchers, 28 of them holding a Ph.D. degree, and, at present, 42 other non-permanent researchers (of which 2 post-doctoral) develop their work and concerted research efforts within ISR-Porto. As for internal organisation of research, the Unit is structured in four main groups, each one with an internally chosen co-ordinator and corresponding to dominant research interests and dominant sharing of laboratory facilities and equipments among their researchers. These are: The Process Systems Engineering Group (Professor Sebastião Feyo de Azevedo) The Control Systems and Technology Group (Professor Jorge Martins de Carvalho) The Decision and Control Engineering Group (Professor Dr. Fernando Lobo Pereira) The Industrial Automation Group (Professor Adriano Carvalho) This internal organisation by no means precludes cooperation between groups. The interests and activities of each of such groups unfold through more than one of the research areas presented above. In fact, a major strength of the Unit's research programme is the cross coupling observed between the research areas. Practice shows significant interaction between researchers of different groups within the Unit, which take different forms, such as cooperation in research projects or joint organisation of conferences and advanced courses. The Advisory Committee The Advisory Committee is composed by the following Scientists: Professor Michael Grimble, from the University of Strathclyde, Scotland; Professor Jean Faucher, from the Laboratoire d'electrotechnique et d'electronique Industrielle, INP, ENSEEIHT, Toulouse, France; and Professor Adolfo Steiger Garção, from the Department of Electrical Engineering, New University of Lisbon, Portugal. The well-known wide range of activity and interests of these distinguished scientists, cover the areas of work of the Unit's researchers. 5
Activity overview As activity overview: in the recent past the activity of the Unit has been highly rated (with the Evaluation of Very Good) by the Evaluation Panel appointed by the FCT in 1996, in 2000 and in 2004 During the past 5 years (2002-2006) 19 Ph.D. and 20 M.Sc. theses, 74 papers in international journals and books, over 400 other publications and/or communications of scientific work, 4 patents and 19 prototypes were produced. During 2006, work has been carried out concerning 13 main projects, 46 Ph.D. and 31 M.Sc. theses. A wide number of actions, such as the main responsibility of organisation of workshops and meetings, and the signing of contract work with major national industrial companies, confer to the Unit a dimension which goes well beyond its natural national and university borders.
