Organized Session Submission

The SICE Annual Conference 2016 accepts two types of submissions for review:
Regular paper: Full papers (6 pages in conference format) must be
submitted for review. The accepted papers will be submitted to theIEEE Xplore Digital Library. Normal length for the ﬁnal manuscript of
the regular paper is 6 pages. Papers exceeding 6 pages may besubmitted upon payment of overlength page charges. A maximumof 2 extra pages above 6 pages are permitted.
Position paper: Extended abstracts (2-4 pages in conferenceformat) must be submitted for review. This category is provided
for authors who want to present a timely review of research, acase 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, and will be included in the conference proceedings. An extra charge will apply forevery additional page for papers longer than 6 pages. The detailedsubmission 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 thenormal review process. Both regular and position papers can be
included in a session. For session proposals, it is recommended toinclude a brief statement of the session focus, together with thesubmission of the individual papers. For further instruction, please
visit the conference web page.

Workshop and Tutorials
Proposals for workshops or tutorials that address technical topics
related to control, automation, and systems in general arewelcome. We encourage such programs that will attract industrial
members, and programs with highly anticipated level of interest,impact, creativity and technical background of presenters. Fordetails, please see the conference web page.

SICE Journal of Control, Measurement, and System Integration(JCMSI) will publish a special issue entitled "Special Issue onSICE Annual Conference 2016" in 2017. Please see the details
on the web site of JCMSI (http://www.sice.or.jp/JCMSI/).
