Both types of papers will be included in the conference proceedings, and must be presented in English if accepted. Note that the copyright of the final camera-ready version of both types of papers belongs to the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE) of Japan.

Organized Session Submission

The goal of organized sessions is to provide focused discussions on a new topic or innovative applications of a new approach. Each session consists of 5-6 papers which will be reviewed via the normal review process (both regular and position papers can be included in a session). For session proposals, it is recommended to include a brief statement of the session focus, together with the submission of the individual papers. For further instruction, please see SUBMISSION page.

Workshops and Tutorials

Proposals for workshops or tutorials that address technical topics related to control, automation, and systems in general are welcome. We encourage such programs that will attract industrial members, and programs with highly anticipated level of interest, impact, creativity and technical background of presenters. Submission instructions will appear on TUTORIALS and WORKSHOPS page.
