The 10th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision, ICARCV 2008, will be held in Hanoi from 2 - 5 December 2008. The conference is co-organised by the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore and Vietnamese Academy of Science and Technology. ICARCV focuses on both theory and applications mainly covering the topics of control, automation, robotics and vision. In addition to the technical sessions, there will be invited sessions, tutorials and keynote addresses.
