The three sister faculties of the three universities of the Carpathian region, all with the ancient roots at Mining Academy in Banska Stiavnica, all dealing with control and automation, and the industrial partners agreed to organize the ICCC'2000 conference for the first time in the year 2000. This is the conference which should integrate the scientific and professional scope of the previously organized conferences in the field of control, modeling, and simulation of production and technological processes and their informatisation in the Carpathian region, namely in Slovakia (ASRTP, ICSP), in Poland (APRO), and in Czechia (ASR).

The aim of the conference is to support exchange of information and experience in the field of automation of engineering and production, in research, applications, and education. The conference will enable presentation of most recent advances in complex mechanization, robotics, control of production and technological processes, including quality control systems oriented to environment, means of support, and information technologies.
