Activities of the SICE are wide spread from measurement and control to variety of systems analysis and designs, from theory to application, or from software to hardware. Relevant topics include:

 

Sensors and Transducers Signal and/or Image Processing Identification and Estimation Opto-Electronic Measurement Remote Sensing Mass and Force Measurement Temperature Measurement Ultra-High Precision Measurement Analytical Measurement Standard of Measurement Flow Measurement and Control Multivariable Control Nonlinear Control Robust Control Adaptive and Optimal Control Intelligent Control Computer Aided Design Modeling and System Identification and Estimation

Process Control Mechanical System Control Guidance and Flight Control Power Systems Control System Theory and Engineering Human-Machine Systems Biological and Physiological Engineering Intelligent Systems Neural Networks Autonomous Decentralized Systems Discrete Event Systems Mechatronic Systems Robotic and Automation Systems Virtual Reality Systems Entertainment Systems Micro and Nano Systems Medical and Welfare Systems

Safety, Environmental, and Eco-Systems Agricultural and Bio-Systems Rescue Systems Simulation of Large Systems Network System Integration Process Automation Factory Automation Laboratory Automation Information Management Systems Information Technology Applications SCADA and Network Systems Manufacturing Systems Transportation Systems Components and Devices Emergent Technologies

Newly developed interdisciplinary ideas and concepts transferable from one field to another are especially welcome from the standpoint of the SICE.

Authors are invited to visit the conference web site:

                http://www.sice.or.jp/event/sice2002/

and submit an extended summary of 500 to 1000 words, including authors' names, addresses, affiliations, name of the presenter, postal mail and e-mail addresses of the corresponding author and telephone/facsimile numbers (the submit will be availabe on and after January 7 2002). Inquiries should be directed to the Chairman of the Program and Sessions Committee:

                Prof. Hideki Kokame

                Hongo 1-35-28-303, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan

                Phone: +81-3-3814-4121, Fax: +81-3-3814-4699, E-mail: sice2002@sice.or.jp

The summary should clearly describe the salient concepts and novel features of the works, for a meaningful review by the Technical Program Committee.

One of the authors of each paper, who intends to present the paper in SICE2002, must be a member or a student member of SICE, IEEE, IFAC, ISA, ICASE, CAC or CIS. Contributions from abroad are exempt from this requirement. Papers accepted for the oral presentation must be presented in either English or Japanese. Visual aids such as transparencies should be prepared according to a set of guidelines, which will be sent to authors with each acceptance letter. All conference participants, including authors and session chairmen, are expected to pay conference registration fee, presentation fee (authors only) and their travel expenses. The SICE International Scholarship will be granted to selected foreign researchers who are young, have potential ability to contribute to the field of Instrument and Control Engineering, and come to Japan to present their papers.
