MED 2016 - 24th Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation

The 24th Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation, MED 2016, is returning to Athens, Greece, and the luxurious Divani Caravel Hotel (http://www.divanicaravel.gr). Athens is a metropolitan and cosmopolitan city, the capital of Greece, the birth place of Democracy, the city with the worldwide known “Acropolis and Parthenon”, with the world famous Theater of Herodes Atticus and the marble stadium where the first modern times Olympic Games took place in 1896, home of Socrates, Plato, Pericles (Golden Age), and home of the 2004 Olympic Games. Athens is both an “ancient” and a “modern” city, in which visitors can walk safely and enjoy the rich, almost 5,000 year old, history it has to offer. For more information, see Venue and Travel.
The theme of MED 2016 centers on control and automation challenges and opportunities in the 21st century and on control of autonomous systems.
MED 2016 spans four full days. June 21 is devoted to Tutorials and Workshops, followed by the three day technical conference on June 22-24. The conference, through its technical program and keynote presentations, will provide a unique opportunity for the academic, research and industrial community to address new challenges, share solutions and discuss future research directions.
Technical cosponsorship
The conference is technically cosponsored by:
IEEE Control Systems Society.
