Conference
Automatic Control as a Key Support of Industrial Productivity
The 4th IEEE Colombian Conference on Automatic Control (CCAC) will be held on the beautiful city of Medellin, Colombia on October 15-18, 2019. This conference is sponsored by IEEE and the Colombian chapter of the IEEE Control System Society. The IEEE-CCAC 2019 technical program will feature the presentation of contributed papers, as well tutorial sessions, 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 and developments in control engineering accounting both theoretical aspects and applications for sharing and encouraging technology development in Colombia and the Latin American región.
Submission Guidelines
The program committee invites you to submit 4 to 6 pages long contributions in English through https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ccac2019. 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.
The paper format, templates and submission instructions are available in the following links (be mindful that the following templates already include the needed header and footer for the conference)
