ICINCO 2010

Conference name: 7th International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics (ICINCO 2010)

Venue: Funchal, Madeira - Portugal

Event Date: 15-18 June, 2010

The purpose of the 7th International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics (ICINCO) is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the application of informatics to Control, Automation and Robotics. Three simultaneous tracks will be held, covering Intelligent Control Systems, Optimization, Robotics, Automation, Signal Processing, Systems Modeling and Control.
