IECON 2013 is the flagship conference of the Industrial Electronics Society, an international conference on industrial electronics, fast developing technologies and their applications. The objectives of the conference are to provide high quality research and professional interactions for the advancement of science, technology, and fellowship. IECON 2013 is being held concurrently with the 7th IEEE International Conference on E-Learning in Industrial Electronics (ICELIE 2013). Participation in both conferences just requires a single registration fee.
