Chinese Control and Decision Conference (CCDC) is an annual international conference organized by the Northeastern University of China. It has been technically co-sponsored by the Automatic Control Society of Chinese Association of Aeronautics, Application Society of Chinese Association of Automation and Intelligent Control, Simulation Methods and Modeling Society of Chinese Association for System Simulations and Management Society of Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence. The conference, consisting of keynotes, panel discussions, oral sessions and poster sessions, provides a forum for scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the world to present their latest theoretical results and techniques in the field of systems, control and decision, automation, robotics, and emerging technologies.

The first CCDC was held in 1989 and since then the conference has been successfully held for 28 times. 2016 CCDC received an overwhelming response with a total of 1802 submissions from 17 countries/regions including United States of America, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, Spain, Peru, India, Turkey, Canada, Pakistan, Macau, Ecuador, Luxembourg, Japan, France and Australia. After going through a rigorous review process, 1356 papers were accepted and presented in 125 oral sessions and 9 poster sessions during the conference. 1115 delegates from different countries/regions attended the conference. In addition to the normal technical sessions, the technical program also included four keynote speeches and eight semi-plenary talks covering the state-of-the-art in control and decision.

The 29th Chinese Control and Decision Conference will be held during May 28 –30, 2017 in Chongqing, China. The Conference is co-organized by Northeastern University, China, the Industrial Electronics (IE) Chapter of IEEE Singapore Section, Technical Committee on Control and Decision of Cyber Physical Systems (TCCD-CPS), Chinese Association of Automation, Chongqing University, China. The conference will serve as an exciting major forum for scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the world to present and discuss the latest technology advancement as well as further trends and needs in systems, control and decision automation, robotics, and emerging technologies. In addition to the technical sessions, there will be plenary sessions (keynotes).

The 29th CCDC will also be technically sponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society, Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence, Technical Committee on Control Theory, Chinese Association of Automation and State Key Lab. of Synthetical Automation for Process Industries, in addition to technical co-sponsorships from the Societies mentioned above.
