The 16th international conference on Sciences and Techniques of Automatic control and computer engineering (STA'2015) will be held on December 21-23, 2015, in Monastir, Tunisia. Opening on the Mediterranean, Monastir profits from a privileged central position within the great area of the Tunisian Sahel. The conference STA'2015 is organized by the Laboratory of Sciences and Techniques of Automatic control & computer engineering Lab-STA (Sfax, Tunisia) with the participation of the Laboratory of Information technology and Automatic control for the Systems LIAS (Poitiers, France), the Research Centre in Information and Communication Science and Technologies CREsTIC (Reims, France), the Laboratory of Modelling, Information & Systems MIS (Amiens, France), the Laboratory of Information Sciences and System (Marseille, France), the Laboratory for Analysis and Architecture of Systems LAAS-CNRS (Toulouse, France), the University of Valladolid (Spain). The conference is financially supported by the ATTNA association (Tunisia) and technical Co-sponsorship IEEE Tunisia Section. The conference STA'2015 is intended as an international forum where an effective exchange of knowledge and experience amongst active researchers in various theoretical and applied areas of automatic control and computer engineering can take place. Participation of engineers and other scientists from industry is particularly welcome. This event will provide the opportunity for worldwide researchers and practitioners to share together the latest developments and new trends in systems and control. Both theoretical and applied papers are welcomed for submission to this event. Keynote speeches are to be conducted by well-known experts. Following the success of previous conferences STA, STA'2015 has obtained the trust for a partnership with several journals (International Journal of Automation and Computing (IJAC), Journal of Automation & Systems Engineering (JASE), International Journal of Sciences and Techniques of Automatic control (IJ-STA), Journal of Electrical Systems (JES) etc…) which will upgrade the congress services to publish more than 40% of the presented papers. The conference STA'2015 will have three types of sessions: plenary lectures (given by leading experts in the field), regular oral sessions and poster sessions.
