PURPOSE

The IASTED International Conference on ACIT - Control, Diagnostics, and Automation (ACIT-CDA 2010) will take place from June 15 to June 18, 2010 in Novosibirsk, Russia. This multi-conference will act as a major forum for international scientists, engineers, and industry practitioners to present the latest research, results, ideas, developments, and applications in all areas of automation, control, and information technology. It aims to strengthen relations between industry, research laboratories, and universities.
LANGUAGES OF THE MULTI-CONFERENCE

Working languages of the Multi-Conference are Russian and English. Translation will be provided. All papers should be in English and will be reviewed by IASTED
CONCURRENT CONFERENCES

ACIT-CDA 2010 will be held in conjunction with the IASTED International Conferences on:

* ACIT - Information and Communication Technology (ACIT-ICT 2010)
* ACIT - Optical Information Technology (ACIT-OIT 2010)

LOCATION

ACIT-CDA 2010 will take place at the House of Scientists in Akademgorodok, a community located outside the Siberian city of Novosibirsk. Akademgorodok was established by Russian academics in 1957 and has been credited to be the first scientific town in the world. Since its creation, Akademgorodok has quickly become a powerful scientific complex encompassing more than 20 scientific institutes, including the Novosibirsk State University. Novosibirsk, the third largest city in Russia, is situated along the Ob River in the Southern part of Siberia. Once known for its timber and fur skins, Novosibirsk has become a large industrial, cultural, scientific, and transportation centre in Eastern Russia. In addition to breathtaking scenery, Novosibirsk offers many cultural and recreational attractions including the Opera and Ballet Theatre, the Philharmonic Society, the Botanical Gardens, and the Zoological Garden. Conference participants will be accommodated at the Golden Valley Hotel.
SCOPE

The topics of interest to be covered by ACIT-CDA 2010 include, but are not limited to:

* Automation



* Control

* Diagnostics



* Identification
