The seventh annual IEEE Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (IEEE
CASE 2011), sponsored by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS), will be held
from August 24 to 27, 2011, in Trieste, Italy. IEEE CASE represents the flagship
automation conference of the IEEE RAS and constitutes the primary forum for crossindustry, multidisciplinary research in automation. The goal of the conference is to provide
a broad coverage and dissemination of foundational research in automation among
researchers, academics, and industry practitioners..
The 2011 Edition of IEEE CASE will evolve around the themes of Foundation and
Automation, Life Sciences and Health Care, Automation in Meso, Micro and Nanoscale, Information Automation, Manufacturing Automation, Automation in Logistics
and Supply Chain Management, Networked and Control Systems, Other Topics in
Automation (Green automation, Disaster management, Aerospace automation, Intelligent
transportation, etc).

workshops and tutorials.
Detailed instructions for the preparation and submission of contributed papers, as well as
of proposals for special sessions, tutorials and workshops, can be found at the conference
web site: http://www.deei.units.it/CASE2011.
IEEE CASE is an offspring of the journal IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and
Engineering (www.ieee.org/t-ase). High quality CASE papers will be recommended for
publication in the journal.
Conference Venue: The conference will be held in the Starhotels Savoia Excelsior Palace
in Trieste. The hotel is located in the hearth of the city and reflects the charm of the Italian
style based on the love of art, culture, gastronomic tradition and well-being. Trieste is a city
in north eastern Italy, situated at the head of the most northern part of the Mediterranean
sea. Its land is sprawled between the rugged Carso hills and the Adriatic sea colours.
Trieste was one of the oldest parts of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1382 until 1918. In the
19th century it was the most important port of one of the Great Powers of Europe. In the
fin-de-siecle period, it emerged as an important hub for literature and music. After the
collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Trieste joined Italy in 1918. After WWII, it
suffered because of the border changes and, throughout the Cold War, it has been a
peripheral city of western Europe right along the steel curtain. Nowadays, in the new
European political settings, it is a crossroad of Germanic, Latin and Slavic cultures, and a
gate between Mediterranean sea countries and Central Europe.
