CALL FOR PAPERS
Scope: The 3rd IEEE Colombian Conference on Automatic Control (CCAC) will be held on October 18-20,
2017 in Cartagena-Colombia. The objective of the Conference is to gather academic and industrial
researchers and practitioners, to discuss the state of the art, research and developments in advance
control-robotics and its applications for sharing and encouraging technology development in Colombia
and the Latin American region. The thematic emphasis of the Conference will be covering the theory,
the implementation issues and the experiences related to the applications of control, automation and
robotics methods in research, academy and industry. The main topics for the event include, but are not
limited to, the following:
Applied control for industrial and non-industrial areas, applied control for robots, hybrid systems,
intelligent control, mechatronics, mobile robots, modeling of dynamic systems, multi-robot systems,
process and power systems, process automation, process optimization, sensing and sensor fusion,
system identification, systems and signals, control in power electronics and electrical drives.
Important Dates:
May 9, 2017 Papers / special sessions submission due
June 30, 2017 Decision notification
August 11, 2017 Final manuscripts submissions (camera-ready format)
Paper submission: The program committee invites you to submit 4 to 6 pages long papers in English
or Spanish through http://www.ieeeccac2017.org
The submitted papers are grouped as follows:
Regular papers (four to six pages, English language)
Students paper (four to six pages, either English or Spanish)
Industrial papers (two to six pages, either English or Spanish)
Submitted papers to CCAC must be original, not previously published or accepted for publication
elsewhere and must not be submitted to any other event or publisher during the entire review process.
IEEE policy regarding plagiarism and duplicate submission/publication will be strictly enforced. The
paper format and submission instructions are available at www.ieeelarc.org. All articles will be published
in the Conference Proceedings. Only English versions will be published in IEEEXplore.
Venue: The conference will be held at Cartagena de Indias, city on the northern coast of Colombia in
the Caribbean Coast Region and capital of the Bolvar Department. It is the fifth-largest city in Colombia
and the second largest in the region, after Barranquilla. The Cartagena urban area is also the fifth-
largest urban area in the country. Economic activities include maritime and petrochemicals industry, as
well as tourism. During the colonial period Cartagena served a key role in administration and expansion
of the Spanish empire. It was a center of political and economic activity due to the presence of royalty
and wealthy viceroys. In 1984, Cartagena's colonial walled city and fortress were designated a UNESCO
World Heritage Site (further details soon).
