AAC 2013 - 7th IFAC Symposium on Advances in Automotive Control

The 7th IFAC international symposium on advances in automotive control (AAC) which is a triennial symposium will take place in Tokyo during September 4-9, 2013, first in Asian region. Following the past successful symposiums at Ascona, Columbus, Karlsruhe, Salerno, Monterey and Munich, the goal of IFAC-AAC symposium is to contribute to the future research and development by active exchange of knowledge and vision between engineers from industries and academia. An evening session for deep discussions will be also held during the symposium to foster young students and researchers. The organizing committee invites you to participate in the symposium for getting knowledge and impression about state-of-the-art research and development through active discussions with various participants from industries and academic circles.
