Abstract

Welcome to the 24th IEEE International Conference on Automation and Computing (IEEE ICAC’18) held at Newcastle University. The ICAC series has a long established history since its first conference at London in 1995. The conference initially aimed at providing a forum for Chinese scientists, engineers, and academics in the UK to update technical knowledge, exchange research ideas, and formulate joint research programs, especially between the UK and China for mutual benefits. Since 2007, the conference has been transforming towards a true international profile with delegates coming from all around the world. In the last decade, all papers that had been presented in this conference series have entered the IEEE Xplore digital library and EI indexed. The scope of ICAC’18 covers a broad spectrum of multi-disciplinary fields in automation, manufacturing, computing, information systems and condition monitoring, ranging from theoretical studies to real-world applications and problem solving. We are pleased to see the continuous high quality submissions this year with the theme on Improving Productivity through Automation and Computing. We sincerely hope all delegates will have a productive and enjoyable time at Newcastle University during the conference. On behalf of the conference committee, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have contributed to this conference, as well as the members of the local organising committee and the international program committee for their fantastic work. Our sincere gratitude also goes to the conference sponsors for their support, particularly to the International Journal of Automation and Computing for its generous sponsorship of best student paper awards. Last but not least, we want to thank all the volunteers for their diligent work and services to the conference. IEEE ICAC’18 Conference Committee
