The 2027 International Conference on Predictive Control and Automation Engineering (PCAE 2027) will be held in Nanjing, China, from March 26 to 28, 2027. As a premier international academic exchange platform focusing on frontier theories and practical applications in the field of predictive control and automation engineering, this conference brings together experts, scholars, engineers and researchers all over the world. Against the background of rapid development of new‑energy industry, robot technology and intelligent manufacturing, key challenges including model predictive control, complex system optimization and intelligent automation application have attracted widespread research attention.
PCAE 2027 aims to build a high‑level academic and industrial exchange platform to facilitate in‑depth integration of industry‑university‑research and technological innovation, and promote theoretical breakthroughs and industrial upgrading in automation engineering. The conference will organize keynote speeches, invited talks, oral presentations and poster presentations covering model predictive control theory, industrial automation, intelligent control systems, complex system optimization as well as innovative applications in new energy, robotics and intelligent manufacturing.
By gathering renowned scholars, experts and industrial practitioners from universities, research institutes and enterprises worldwide, PCAE 2027 promotes interdisciplinary communication and innovation. The conference expects to attract hundreds of global participants. It provides a vibrant forum for presenting latest research outcomes as well as opportunities for academic networking, research collaboration and industry‑academy synergy.
We warmly invite researchers, engineers and industry practitioners worldwide to submit abstracts and manuscripts, participate actively, and contribute to advancing predictive control and automation engineering.
