About MSC 2011
The 2011 IEEE Multi-Conference on Systems and Control (MSC), to be held in Denver, Colorado, USA on September 28-30, 2011, is comprised of three major international conferences promoted by the IEEE Control Systems Society:
- * the IEEE Conference on Control Applications (CCA);
- * the IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control (ISIC);
- * the Joint Symposium on Computer-Aided Control System Design and Systems with Uncertainty (CACSD-SU).
The conference will feature several kinds of presentations including contributed and invited papers as well as invited tutorial sessions and workshops, covering a broad range of topics relevant to control applications, methods, and development tools.
See the Call for Papers [
