The American Automatic Control Council |
The American Control Conference is organized under the auspices of the American Automatic Control Council (AACC), which is an association of nine professional societies:
Organizing the annual, 3-day, cross-disciplinary ACC is the principal technical activity of AACC. The conference typically attracts about 1,300 participants and features about 1,000 refereed papers. The ACC is an internationally recognized control conference with substantial participation from outside the US. Academia, industry, and government are all well-represented. Additionally, AACC offers several annual awards to recognize and honor individuals who have made substantial contributions to control theory and practice. These awards are presented during the annual AACC Awards Ceremony, held at the ACC. AACC also supports control education from K-12 through post-graduate studies. AACC provides opportunities for personal and professional development and recognition to its large cast of volunteers, on whom it is crucially dependent for its operations and success. The activities of the AACC are governed by a Board of Directors. Each AACC member society appoints a director. Operational responsibilities for the AACC rest with five officers, who report to the Board. Operating committees for ACCs, awards committees, etc., report to the officers. All directors, officers, and committee members are volunteers. To learn more about AACC please visit www.a2c2.org. |
