2013 American Control Conference

June 17, 2013 - June 19, 2013
8:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Washington DC, DC United States

Description:

Please plan to attend the 2013 American Control Conference, Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel, Monday to Wednesday, June 17-19, 2013, Website: http://a2c2.org/conferences/acc2013/

While the American Control Conference has been held near Washington, DC in the past, the 2013 ACC will be the first to be held inside the capital city of the US. The 2013 ACC will be held at the Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel, within 7 blocks of the White House, the US Capitol building, the National Mall, and the Smithsonian Institution. The hotel is also within 2 blocks of an extensive restaurant district. In addition to the high-quality technical program that the 2013 ACC Organizing Committee is working hard to ensure, the traditional conference banquet will be transformed to an evening at the National Air and Space Museum (NASM) on Tuesday, June 18, 2013. ACC attendees and their guests will have exclusive use of the museum for the evening, including screenings of shows in NASM’s IMAX Theater and Planetarium and use of the flight simulators. Museum docents will be available throughout the evening.

The outlines of the technical program are beginning to take shape, and we are planning to feature theme tracks in sustainability, societal challenges for control, and smart healthcare systems. For each theme, we are working to include a semi-plenary and special track, including tutorial and invited sessions. In additional to the special themes, the conference technical, (semi-)plenary, and special sessions will reflect the diversity of theory and applications of control that is one of the hallmarks of an ACC. To encourage industry participation, we have requested and have obtained permission from the American Automatic Control Council to have a one-day registration fee (on-site only, no paper upload privileges). Additionally, industrial participants are encouraged to contact the Vice Chair for Invited Sessions and/or the Vice Chair for Industry & Applications with ideas for industrial themed invited or tutorial sessions and/or tracks in the conference.
