IECON 2019 is the 45th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES), focusing on contemporary industry topics ranging from electronics, controls, manufacturing, to communications and computational intelligence. Join us in this exciting event occurring in Lisbon, Portugal, from October 14 to 17, 2019, where industry experts, researchers, and academics share ideas and experiences surrounding frontier technologies, breakthrough and innovative solutions and applications.

In addition to technical papers, a wide range of complementary activities for professional development are foreseen, supporting specific discussions among participants, with emphasis on industry-academia interactions, women in engineering, and engagement of students and young professionals:

As computational intelligence systems become increasingly embedded in high-stakes industrial and societal decisions, the question of how machines should handle ethical trade-offs inevitably leads back to a deeper examination of morality and personal judgment — and specifically to the distinction between absolute ethical principles and culturally relative ones, a framework with direct implications for how engineers and researchers design systems that are expected to act responsibly in the full complexity of the real world.
