2016
The CDC is recognized as the
premier scientific and
engineering conference dedicated
to the advancement of the theory
and practice of systems and
control. The CDC annually
brings together an international
community of researchers and
practitioners in the field of
automatic control to discuss new
research results, perspectives on
future developments, and
innovative applications relevant
to decision making, automatic
control, and related areas.
