ATACCS 2012
2nd International Conference on Application and Theory of Automation in
Command and Control Systems
Imperial College, London, UK — May 29-31, 2012
http://www.ataccs.org
*** Overview
ATACCS'2012 is the second of a series of scientific conferences on the
theme of Automation in Command and Control Systems. The first was
organized in Barcelona, Spain, and gathered more than one hundred
participants.
ATACCS is focused on applications and theories that are related to the
replacement of human roles by technology (i.e. through automation). In
the context of ATACCS, automation implies the use of systems to
administer the tasks of humans including conformance monitoring and
automation management. This raises enormous technical, ethical,
organizational and safety challenges.
ATACCS is the brainchild of the HALA! Research Network (Higher
Automation Levels in Air Traffic Management) which is supported by SESAR
WP-E; a framework setup to spearhead long term and innovative research
in automation of Air Traffic Management in pursuit of the SESAR 2020
vision and beyond. Despite this strong relationship with ATM, ATACCS
welcomes submissions from all other domains and industries dealing with
automation in command and control systems.
All submissions to the conference will be peer reviewed by members of
the program committee. Accepted contributions will be published in the
conference proceedings as well as in the ACM Digital Library.
