Authors

Call for Contributed Papers: Papers are invited in the form of regular manuscripts. Papers must conform to the submission policy, 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, which should present a unifying theme from a diversity of viewpoints. 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 on the day before the conference (24 August 2025) are solicited on all related topics. Proposals for workshops addressing novel control methodologies and control applications are strongly encouraged.

Papers published in the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology after 1 June 2023 may apply to give oral presentations.

Proposals for workshops and invited/tutorial sessions that are made by mixed industrial/academic teams are particularly welcomed.

Contributed papers

  • All submitted papers must be formatted in the standard 2-column IEEE Proceedings format.
  • For the purposes of review, papers are limited to 8 pages; papers exceeding this limit cannot be uploaded.
  • For publication in the proceedings, accepted papers are limited to 6 pages; papers exceeding this limit are subject to a page over-length fee.
  • A regular registration by an Author will allow the Author to upload up to 3 of the accepted papers the Author has (co)authored, and a reduced registration will allow the Student/Retiree Author to upload up to one of the accepted papers the (Student/Retiree) Author has (co)authored.

Workshops

We solicit proposals for half-day or full-day workshops. Workshops will be held on Sunday, August 24th, preceding the main conference program from August 25-27, 2025.

Workshops should emphasize emerging control technologies and applications of particular interest to the conference attendees. Proposals for workshops with strong tutorial value are encouraged, as are those offered via academic/industry collaborations. 

Workshops are limited to 60 participants.

Workshop proposals can be submitted through Paperplaza. The deadline to submit a proposal is April 15, 2025. A subset of workshop proposals will be selected and the workshops will be offered to potential participants (CCTA registerees and others).  A decision on the final set of workshops will depend on workshop registrations, and will be made by the close of early registration, July 6, 2025.

Each workshop proposal must include:

  1. Title of the workshop;
  2. Description of the technical issues covered, emphasizing the timeliness of the proposed workshop;
  3. Workshop organizers (names, affiliation and contact information);
  4. Names of proposed speakers, and a statement explaining the diversity of the session speakers along dimensions such as gender, geography, industry/academia affiliation and other forms of diversity.  If creating a diverse session has been particularly challenging for you, please include a statement indicating what efforts you took to increase the diversity. We welcome any additional forms of diversity you wish to articulate;
  5. Duration of workshop (half day vs. full day);
  6. If appropriate, a description of past versions of the workshop.

Note that 2025 CCTA workshops will be available to all conference registrants for free. Those who do not register for the conference, but wish to participate in one or more workshops will be required to pay a fee. This means that workshop organizers will only receive payments corresponding to fees paid by non-registrant workshop participants.

If you have any questions, please contact Johanna Mathieu, CCTA 2025 Workshop Chair.
