VENUE & SCOPE
The Faculty of Automation and Computer Science and Engineering invites researchers, professionals, students and businessmen to participate in CONTI'2000: 4th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TECHNICAL INFORMATICS, which will be held at the Faculty of Automation and Computer Science and Engineering from Timisoara.
Timisoara is an old and beautiful town located in the Southern-Western part of Romania. It can be reached easily by trains from Bucharest or Budapest or by plane through its international airport (www.timisoara.ro).
The conference is intended as an international forum where an effective exchange of knowledge and experience amongst researchers active in various theoretical and applied areas of automatic control and computer science and engineering can take place.
The program will include an ample space for promoting the implementation of new control technologies, computer science and industrial informatics, and their real-world applications; an exhibition will be organized having this aim.
A round table on "Youth in Automatic Control and Industrial Informatics" will be organized.
The working language of the conference is English.
