Abstract :
This is the first time that two of the most reputed conferences in control, the European Control Conference (ECC) and the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), are to be celebrated as a joint conference. This important event will take place in an attractive environment, the city of Seville. The response to our Call for Papers has been extraordinary with 3046 submissions received. The International Program Committee has worked hard and efficiently and, after a rigorous procedure, 1470 papers have been accepted. The number of submissions was much higher than expected and, because of this, only papers that received excellent reviews could be selected.
