The Joint Conference is for the seventh time organized in this format. The main goal of this conference is to provide a multidisciplinary forum between researchers from industry and academia to discuss state-of-the-art topics in system theory, control and computing, and to present recent research results and prospects for development in this evolving area.

The ICSTCC conference emerged from the fusion of the three conferences that were separately organized by University of Craiova, Faculty of Automation, Computers and Electronics (SINTES - International Conference on System Theory and Control), "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iasi, Faculty of Automatic Control and Computer Engineering (SACCS - International Symposium on Automatic Control and Computer Science), "Dunarea de Jos" University of Galati, Faculty of Control Systems, Computers, Electrical and Electronics Engineering (SIMSIS - International Symposium on Modelling, Simulation and Identification Systems).

As well as the previous editions, the 20th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing - ICSTCC 2016, will be technically co-sponsored by IEEE Control Systems Society (link) and the Proceedings will be submitted to IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The Proceedings will also be submitted for indexing in Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index.

ICSTCC 2016 will feature several kinds of presentations including invited and contributed papers, special sessions and poster sessions. The outcome of ICSTCC 2016 can be a better understanding of some leading research areas, as already System Theory, Control and Computing have demonstrated.
