The 5th IEEE Colombian Conference on Automatic Control (CCAC) will be held virtually on 19-22 October 2021 in Ibagué (Colombia). This is the fifth in a series of conferences that have been successfully established in the Colombian and Latin American region and it has been decided to continue it as programmed, this time virtually due to Covid-19 contingency. The IEEE-CCAC 2021 technical program will feature the presentation of contributing papers, as well as workshops, focusing on technological advances and applications of control theory. The focus of the conference includes, but are not limited to, all aspects of control engineering for practical control systems, from analysis and design, through simulation and hardware utilization.
The objective of the Conference is to gather academic and industrial researchers and practitioners, to discuss the state of the art, research, advances, and applications of control engineering to encourage technology development in Colombia and the Latin American region. The thematic emphasis of the Conference will be covering the theory, the implementation issues, and the experiences related to the applications of control, automation and methods in research, academy and industry.

The program committee invites you to submit 4 to 6 pages long contributions in English through https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeeccac2021. The submitted papers are grouped as follows:
- Regular papers (four to six pages, English language)
- Students papers (four to six pages, English language)
- Industrial papers (two to six pages, English language)
Submitted papers to CCAC must be original, not previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere and must not be submitted to any other event or publisher during the entire review process. IEEE policy regarding plagiarism and duplicate submission/publication will be strictly enforced.

Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE CCAC 2021 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®. Only top quality papers will be published in IEEE Xplore®. To be published in the IEEE CCAC 2021 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions. The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore®) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 2 papers.
