Welcome from the AUCC general chair

I would like to welcome you to the 1st Australian Control Conference (AUCC) and the city of Melbourne on behalf of the AUCC 2011 Organising and Technical Program Committees, as well as our main sponsor the Institution of Engineers, Australia. AUCC is a new conference series that is organised by the Institution of Engineers Australia (IEAust) through its National Committee for Automation, Control and Instrumentation (NCACI). The conference is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society and will be organised annually and held in various locations in Australia. The next AUCC will be held in Sydney in 2012.
