SUBMISSIONS: Paper s should describe the original work with focused details. It should be no more than 6 pages (A4 paper) with IEEE conference paper format. The conference details and the paper template for ICAC’20 are available on the conference web site. The first page of each paper should include the title of the paper, an abstract with no more than 200 words, up to 5 key words, authors' name (s), complete mailing addresses, and email address for correspondence. Electronic form of submission, in Word or PDF, is acceptable and preferred. With the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society and IEEE Robotics &Automation Society (pending), all the accepted conference papers will be held in IEEE Xplore so EI indexed. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended article versions to special issues of International Journal of Automation and Computing (http://www.ijac.net) , Systems Science & Control Engineering (https://www.tandfonline.com/loi/tssc20) and IET Cognitive Computation and Systems (https://digitallibrary.theiet.org/journals/ccs). The ICAC’19 Proceedings has been published in IEEE Xplore (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/conhome/8891805/proceeding) since November 2019.

BEST STUDENT PAPERS: Papers with the first author being PhD students are eligible for Best Student Paper Awards. The authors shall clearly indicate whether their papers are qualified for the awards in submission. The best papers will be assessed by a panel based on academic significance and presentation performance, and award certificates will be presented to the authors in the closing ceremony.
