About the conference
The 26th Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation, MED’18, will take place from June 19 to June 22, 2018, at the town of Zadar, Croatia.
The theme of MED’18 centers on the growing societal and economic challenges, as well as possible solutions brought by the control, automation and robotics technologies and systems. MED’18 also brings several innovations to the technical program, in terms of new topics, and well as in the format, which includes round tables and student competitions.
The conference will provide a great opportunity for the academic, research and industrial community to exchange ideas and experiences regarding future research directions. A broad range of topics is proposed, following current trends of combining control/systems theory with software/communication technologies, as well as new developments in robotics and mechatronics, autonomous systems, unmanned systems, cyber physical systems, network controlled systems, with the goal of strengthening cooperation of control and automation scientists with industry.
Organization and technical cosponsorship
The MED’18 is organized by the Mediterranean Control Association and KoREMA – Croatian Society for Communications, Computing, Electronics, Measurement and Control.
The MED’18 conference is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society.
Support
The MED’18 is supported by ICUAS – International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems Association, Inc.
