The 2010 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation (ICIA 2010) will take place in Harbin, Heilongjiang, China from June 20 to June 23, 2010. A renowned ancient city in China, Harbin is situated in northeastern China. As the capital of Heilongjiang province, the city boasts the largest historical museum of the Jin Dynasty, remains of the Huining Mansion and the tombs of Wanyanaguda. Harbin is situated closest to the important international markets of Japan, Korea and Russia. Its prime location makes Harbin an important economic hub of the Eurasian corridor.
As the host city of ICIA 2010, Harbin not only provides the attendees with a great venue for this event, but also an unparallel experience in Chinese history and culture. You are cordially invited to join us at IEEE ICIA 2010 in Harbin to live this unique experience. The objective of ICIA 2010 is to provide a forum for researchers, educators, engineers, and government officials involved in the general areas of information science and automation engineering to disseminate their latest research results and exchange views on the future research directions of these fields.
