SAICA 2009 concludes successfully addresing the question: Can we control climate change?
The Seminar for Advanced Industrial Control Applications (SAICA), took place on the 16th and 17th November 2009 in Madrid under the main theme “Energy Efficiency, Emission Reduction and Sustainability”.
The Joint Spanish Chapter of Control Systems Society (CSS) and Industrial Applications Society (IAS) wishes to sincerely thank all the participants, organisers and sponsors of SAICA 2009 for the tremendous support which undoubtedly resulted in the event being such a success.
In this age of Climate Change, when the need to reduce energy consumption and emissions poses great technical challenges for both industry and academia, SAICA has renewed efforts to bring both together to help confront the problems.
During the two days, the enormous potential for advanced control to help meet these challenges was examined and underlined in the presentations, debates and round table discussions.
Industry and Academia have come together every two years in SAICA to collaborate for mutual benefit and for the benefit of society as a whole. In this latest event, people from industrial, academic and political backgrounds made considerable progress in addressing the question:
Can we control climate change ?

SAICA 2009 has closed until the next seminar; SAICA 2011, hoping that the time shared with us has been motivating and memorable.
