The second annual Australian Control Conference (AUCC) is organised by Engineers Australia through its National Committee for Automation, Control and Instrumentation (NCACI). It is technically sponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society. The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for Australian and International researchers, students and control engineers from industry and Government organisations to exchange ideas and recent results, as well as discuss current problems arising in control engineering research and industrial practice. International contributions are encouraged and will be solicited for.

The technical programme consists of oral presentations, poster presentations, keynote lectures and special industrial sessions whose purpose is to encourage a better exchange between practising control engineers and researchers in universities and government agencies. The proceedings will be available from the Engineers Australia online library and from IEEE Xplore®，and will be indexed by EI (subject to confirmation). The conference will be held on the campus of the University of New South Wales in the Sydney Eastern Suburb of Randwick.
