Call for Papers
About the Symposium:
ITASC symposium series was established as a workshop of the International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized System (ISADS) in 2013 in Mexico City. The 2nd through 6th ITASC symposia were held in Shanghai in 2015 through 2025. In each symposium, we have around 50 presentations and around 300 participants from universities, governments and industries around the world. The technologies discussed in the ITASC have been successfully applied in Chinese and Japanese railway constructions. The 7th ITASC symposium is planned to be held on July 2026 in Japan. This symposium will provide a forum for topics on latest developments in intelligence and green transportation and urban utility tunnels. Like former ITASC symposia, we again invited renowned scholars from all over the world, including experts from academia, industries, and governments, to share their latest discoveries and experiences in their research and applications. The symposium will mainly focus on the theories and applications connecting the most advanced research achievements and technologies, so as to build harmony for our city life. The purpose of this symposium is also to put the latest technologies and new products into various professional fields, such as intelligent transportation, civil engineering, information technology and environmental engineering. The symposium will provide a high-level and systematic communication platform for researchers, technical staff, and entrepreneurs, so as to promote the progress of these related science and technology.
