Track Description
This track is dedicated to research papers on theoretical analysis, experimental studies and innovations concerning automatic control and system engineering. This track is ,therefore, not only a forum where researchers, scientists, engineers and vendors can exchange their knowledge and experience, but also serves as an educational channel for students and any others who would like to learn more about the new trends in this field of study. Industry oriented papers are welcome. By bringing together the researchers from Academia and Industry, we hope to foster collaboration and promote exchange of ideas.

This track will highlight products trends, services and solutions in the field of:
· Factory Automation, Process Automation;

· Instrumentation & Controls Systems

· Power Plant Automation, Building Automation, Robotics

· Bus & Wireless Technology Hydraulics & Pneumatics

Nevertheless different topics concerning Automation are welcome.
