The symposium will provide an innovative forum at which researchers and practitioners in control education will present their latest research, results and ideas. ACE 2013 also aims to spread new knowledge and alternative approaches in education. International cooperation, especially between academia and industry, in control engineering education will be emphasized. The ACE 2013 program will feature plenary lectures, contributed papers, invited sessions, interactive demonstrations and panel discussions.
IMPORTANT DATES February 28, 2013: Submission deadline April 30, 2013: Acceptance/rejection decisions June 30, 2013: Final paper submission and early registration
CONTRIBUTED PAPERS Prospective authors are invited to submit the full versions of their manuscripts through the conference management system. Detailed instructions are available on the conference website http://ace2013.group.shef.ac.uk/
INVITED SESSION PROPOSALS Proposals are invited from participants wishing to organize invited sessions, comprising six thematically coherent papers. The session should provide added value over the individual papers, focusing for example on emerging challenges, or diverse views on established problems that one would not normally find together in a contributed paper session. The organizer(s) must submit an electronic version of the proposal by sending an e-mail to the IPC Chair Sebastián Dormido (sdormido@dia.uned.es) before January 31, 2013. The proposal should consist of a short abstract and of the list of the authors and titles of papers. Each paper must then be submitted by the author(s) using the normal submission procedure and it will pass through the standard reviewing process. All accepted papers will then be grouped together in the final program.
