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
