________________________
ECC'07 continues the tradition of the control conferences of the European Union Control Association (EUCA) which aims at stimulating contacts among academic and industrial professionals in the area of systems and control, and promoting scientific exchanges within the European Community and between Europe and other parts of the world.

The ECC'07 conference will have plenary/semiplenary papers and minitutorials. In addition to contributed and interactive papers on any topic of control and automation, invited sessions on important unified themes will be considered.The Venue of the conference will be the Kos International Convention Center (KICC), which is located at Psalidi of the Kos island.
