• Jan. 15, 2009: Interactive Session Award

  One of the recent trends in technical meetings seems to be a strong emphasis on interactive aspect of the sessions. We also want to give a boost to this tendency in ICCAS-SICE 2009 to make our conference more and more active.

• Jan. 1, 2009:
  • Industrial paper

    To encourage the submission from the industries, we have established the industrial paper category. In the reviewing process of this category, the technical usefulness is highly evaluated as well as the technical novelty. The final version can be brief (at least 2 pages) compared to a regular paper.

  • Presentation style

    When submitting a paper, you must select the presentation style (Oral or Interactive). The latter uses the poster but on site demonstration is allowed upon request. Those who want to give on site demonstration should mark the corresponding check box at the submission and describe the details (required space, facilities, power supply and so on) in their extended abstracts. The presentation style of each paper can be changed by the program committee based on the review results.

• Dec. 27, 2008:
  • Student Travel Grant Award (STGA)

    This year, we have doubled the budget for further encouragement. STGA is open for all students including Japanese. One can apply for it at the time of online submission. See here for details.

• Dec. 18, 2008:
  • IEEE Xplore and EI

    We have completed the agreement with IEEE to include the Proceedings of ICCAS-SICE2009 in IEEE Xplore. SICE has very stringent requirements for the papers to be included in the IEEE Xplore system. Authors are asked to carefully examine their paper to ensure that it is IEEE Xplore compliant. The papers will also be submitted to EI (Engineering Index) for indexing. However, those benefits will not be applied to no-show papers.

  • Collaboration with SICE JCMSI

    Selected papers from the proceedings will be recommended to submit to the SICE Journal of Control, Measurement, and System Integration (SICE JCMSI). The acceptance will be carried out during the normal review process.

  • Submission policy

    An accepted paper will be published in the proceedings only if the final camera-ready version is accompanied by full registration (i.e., NOT student registration). One author with full registration will cover the publication of up to two accepted papers and each additionally accepted paper associated with the same registration will be subject to a mandatory publication fee.
