The March 4th deadline for paper submissions is rapidly approaching. --- 3rd International Conference on Application and Theory of Automation in Command and Control Systems (ATACCS'2013) University of Naples "Federico II", Italy - 28 - 30 May 2013 <http://www.ataccs.org/> http://www.ataccs.org *** OVERVIEW *** ATACCS'2013 is the third of a series of scientific conferences on the theme of Automation in Command and Control Systems. 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 <http://www.hala-sesar.net/> 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. *** SUBMISSIONS Submissions will be reviewed by 3 members of the Program Committee. Research papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. All submissions must be prepared according to the standard <http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform/sigchi-papers-word-template/v iew> SIGCHI publications format. Contributions should be sent via the conference web site at: <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ataccs2013> https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ataccs2013.
