Instructions for CCTA 2020 presenters

CCTA 2020 is planning for a fully online conference hosted through Zoom. 

Video Presentation Upload: Your presentation will take the form of a pre-recorded video, which we will make available to conference attendees through the online conference program.  This format is REQUIRED for all papers (16-minute presentation with 4 minutes of Q&A).

You can upload a video of your presentation by Sunday, August 2, through PaperPlaza.  The session host will download and play your presentation during your scheduled presentation date and time according to the conference program.  For contributed and invited paper presentations, after your video presentation plays, the Session Chair/Co-Chair will open the floor for 4 minutes so that you take questions and answer them. Please use the following guidelines for preparing your video:

• Video length for contributed and invited papers: 16 minutes
• File format: mp4
• Minimum height: 480 pixels
• Aspect ratio: 16:9
• File size limit for contributed and invited papers: 50MB file

Please note the above specifications will be checked at the time of submission, and files not meeting them will be prevented from being uploaded. Presentations can be shorter than the indicated time, which is the maximum length allowed, providing more time for questions and discussion. Except for the above duration and digital constraints, the form of the presentation is left free.

Submission Types

Call for Contributed Papers: Papers are invited in the form of regular manuscripts. Papers must conform to the submission policy, described below, requiring that all manuscripts be in 2- column format and meet strict page limits.

Call for Invited Sessions: Invited sessions consist of 5-6 papers presenting a unifying. Proposals must describe the motivation and relevance of the session. Proposals must be accompanied by full versions of each paper, which will be individually reviewed together with the proposal itself. Individual papers may be removed from a proposed session and replaced by appropriate contributed papers. In case an entire proposed session is rejected, selected papers may be accepted as contributed papers.

Call for Tutorial Sessions: Tutorial sessions and panel discussions addressing state-of-the-art control theory and advanced industrial applications are solicited.

Call for Workshops: Workshops to be held prior to the conference are solicited on all related topics. Proposals for workshops addressing novel control methodologies and control applications are strongly encouraged.
