EXTENDED DEADLINE: Due to multiple requests, the deadline has been extended to May 29.
The 17th International Conference on Automatic Control and Soft Computing (CONTROLO 2026) will provide an excellent opportunity for presenting new research results and to discuss the latest developments in the fields of control, automation, robotics, and soft computing.
The proceedings will be published on IEEE Xplore. All peer reviewed, accepted and presented papers will be submitted for publication in the IEEE Xplore digital library, while the proceedings will be submitted to Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC and Scopus for indexation.
Exceptionally, speakers are allowed to present remotely if unable to travel to the venue (hybrid support).
