ATACCS 2011 - 1st International Conference on Application and Theory of Automation in Command and Control Systems 2011

ATACCS is the first of a series of scientific conferences that are going to be organized on the theme of Automation in Command and Control Systems.

ATACCS is focused on applications and theories that are related to the replacement of human roles by technology (i.e. through automation). The main goal of automation systems is to improve processes through the use of technology. In the context of ATACCS, automation implies the use of a system to administer the tasks of human thus reassigning the human to the functions of conformance monitoring and automation management.

ATACCS is brainchild of HALA! Research Network (Higher Automation Levels in ATM) which is supported by the framework of SESAR WP-E; a framework setup to spearhead long term and innovative research in automation of ATM in pursuit of the SESAR 2020 vision and beyond.

All submissions to the conference will be peer reviewed by members of the program committee. Accepted contributions will be published in the conference proceedings as well as in the ACM Digital Library.
