There were 190 international participants, including 20 from Germany, 18 from Italy, 16 from Netherlands, 15 from UK, 13 from France, 12 from USA, 10 from Ukraine, 8 from Japan and Iran. 325 talks (5 plenary, 275 oral and 45 poster) of more than 370 submitted were included into the preliminary program. 284 full text papers are included into the CD-ROM Proceedings. All the papers presented at the conference are published in the IPACS Open Access Electronic Library at http://lib.physcon.ru by September, 2008. The Conference Photo Gallery is posted at http://album.physcon.ru/gallery.html?gal=enoc08. At the closing ceremony it was announced that the next ENOC Conference will be organized in 2011 in Rome, Italy.

The 3rd International Conference "Physics and Control" (PhysCon 2007) took place on Sept. 3-7 in Potsdam, Germany. It was a success with 280 registered participants from 31 countries, including 81 from Germany, 65 from Russia, 19 from UK, 18 from Spain. PhysCon 2007 was organized under auspice of International Physics And Control Society - IPACS, see http://physcon.ru/ipacs/

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
