CCTA 2022, the 6th IEEE Conference on Control Technology and Applications, will be held Tuesday through Thursday, August 23 – 25, in Trieste, Italy.

CCTA 2022 will be a hybrid conference that will run in-person and virtually. While the entire technical programme will be available on the Paperplaza Platform in the form of video presentations, an appropriate scheme will be followed for the in-person programme which will run in parallel with the virtual programme.

CCTA 2022 is one of the main conferences sponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society and replaces the successful former IEEE CCA and IEEE MSC. The technical program will feature the presentation of contributed and invited papers, as well as tutorial sessions and workshops, focusing on technological advances and applications of control engineering. Italy has several strong control groups with a tradition of cooperation with companies, and significant participation from industry is anticipated. The conference includes all aspects of control engineering for practical control systems, from analysis and design, through simulation and hardware.

Major themes of energy, manufacturing, and transportation will feature applications of control technology for robotic, automotive, biomechanical, aerospace, power and energy systems, control of networks, and many others. Plenary lectures will be delivered on each of the three days as part of the conference program. A series of tutorial workshops will be presented on Monday preceding the conference.

Participants will have the opportunity to present their papers that were published in IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology. CCTA 2022 will also host the 2022 IEEE CSS Video Clip Contest, awarding video clips that promote the field of control theory to a broader audience.

The conference will take place in the Stazione Marittima. Born as a Maritime Station for cruise ships, the location offers a unique view of the Adriatic sea, with the castle of Miramare as a backdrop. Not far from Piazza Unità d’Italia, it can be reached on foot from most hotels enabling you can enjoy the waterfront walk.

Call for Contributed Papers: Papers are invited in the form of regular manuscripts. Papers must conform to the submission policy, described below, requiring that all manuscripts be in 2-column format and meet strict page limits.
