The SICE Festival 2024 with Annual Conference, organized by the Society of
Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE), will be held on August 27-30, 2024, at Kochi
University of Technology Eikokuji Campus, Kochi, JAPAN. This festival is the biggest
event in SICE and the conference is an international conference covering a broad
range of fields from measurement and control to system analysis and design, fromtheory to application, and from software to hardware, and will provide an opportunity
for both academic and industrial engineering practitioners in measurement and control
fields to present their work and discuss their ideas. The technical program of theconference will consist of plenary and invited talks, tutorial courses, and workshops, aswell as oral and interactive sessions.

The SICE Festival 2024 will be held at Kochi University of Technology Eikokuji Campus
located in the center of Kochi city. It is close to Kochi Castle, Harimaya Bridge, andHirome Market, and is easy to access by walking from Kochi station and by bus fromKochi Airport. The scenic Katsurahama Beach, the Makino Botanical Garden named
after the botanist Tomitaro Makino, and the Niyodo River known for its crystal clear
water, are also accessible.

February 13, 2024 : Deadline of Proposal of Workshops and Tutorials
February 26, 2024 : Deadline of Proposal of Organized Sessions
March 18, 2024 : Deadline of Submission for Regular Papers and Position Papers
May 17, 2024 : Notification of Paper AcceptanceJune 24, 2024 : Submission of Final Camera-ready Papers

The SICE Festival 2024 with Annual Conference accepts three types ofsubmissions for review. Regular paper: Full papers (4-6 pages inconference format) must be submitted for review. The accepted papers
will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The normal lengthfor the final manuscript of the regular paper is 6 pages. Papers
exceeding 6 pages may be submitted upon payment of overlength
page charges. A maximum of 2 extra pages over 6 pages arepermitted. Position paper: Extended abstracts (2-4 pages in conferenceformat) must be submitted for review. This category is provided forauthors who want to present a timely review of research, a case study,
and so on. This type of paper will NOT be included in the IEEE Xplore
Digital Library. Both types of papers should be written in English andwill be included in the conference proceedings. Late Breaking Poster:Abstracts (100-200 words) must be submitted for quick review. This
category was established for all researchers, including students, topresent their ongoing research as a poster presentation and discuss itwith other researchers. Abstract should be written in English and will be
published only in the conference program.The detailed submission
policy is found on the conference web page.

The goal of organized sessions is to provide focused discussions on a
new topic or innovative applications of a new approach. Each session
consists of 5-6 papers, which will be reviewed via the normal review
process. Both regular and position papers can be included in asession. For session proposals, it is recommended to include a brief
statement of the session focus, together with the submission of theindividual papers. For further instructions, please visit the conference
web page.

Proposals for workshops or tutorials that address technical topics
related to control, automation, and systems in general, are welcome.
We encourage such programs that will attract industrial members, andprograms with highly anticipated levels of interest, impact, creativity,and technical background of presenters. For details, please see theconference web page.
