ICAC 2012 - 2012 18th International Conference on Automation and Computing (ICAC)

AIMS:
The aims of the conference are to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, scholars and students toexchange ideas and update technical knowledge and to provide a platform where joint research programmescan be formulated for mutual benefit. The conference welcomes participations and contributions from thoseinvolved in both theoretical research and practical applications of all aspects of automation, design andengineering, and computer science. In addition to the technical sessions, there will be plenary sessions.
SCOPE:
The scope of the conference covers a broad spectrum of areas with multi-disciplinary interests inthe fields of automation, control engineering, computing and information systems, ranging from fundamen-tal research to real-world applications. The conference welcomes the submission of papers in the nature of original research, technical review and tutorial from following, but not limited to, areas:
SUBMISSIONS:
Papers should describe the original work with focused details. It should be no morethan 6 pages (A4 paper) with IEEE conference paper format. The conference detail and the paper tem-plate for ICAC’12 are available on the conference web site
www.lucasresearch.co.uk
. The first page of each paper should include the title of the paper, an abstract with no more than 200 words, up to 5 keywords, author's name(s), complete mailing addresses, and email address for correspondence. Electronicform of submission, in Word or PDF, is acceptable and preferred. The presenter of each paper needs tobe clearly indicated in the first page. All contributions along with TWO suggested topics listed aboveshould be submitted via EasyChair conference system or emailed to (sheng.feng.qin.-AT-brunel.ac.uk).With the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE CSS UKRI Chapter, All the accepted conference papers willbe held in
