2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation ETFA

活动简介

The ETFA conference series is the leading technical event dedicated to emerging technologies in industrial automation. Since the first edition in 1992, Melbourne, Australia, the ETFA conference series has evolved to become one of the largest and most important technical events, co-sponsored by IEEE, to focus on the cutting edge ICT research and technical developments in diverse areas of industrial automation such as factory and process automation, automotive applications, avionics and space technology, building and urban automation, etc.

Technical content of the ETFA conference series reflects rapid evolution of the industrial automation field and the ever increasing impact of the underpinning research and development on the advances in the industrial automation.

Since 1992, the ETFA conferences have been hosted by some of the leading academic and research establishments including University of Tokyo, University of Hawaii, University of California at Los Angeles, INRIA-France, Polytechnic University of Catalonia, University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, Czech Republic University of Prague, University of Patras, Helmut-Schmidt University (Hamburg), Universitat de les Illes Balears, Paul Sabatier University (Toulouse), University of Luxembourg, and Fraunhofer IOSB-INA to mention some.
