Convening for the first time three notorious meetings, the IEEE Control Systems Society succeeded in organizing a truly unique event. The luxurious Ritz-Carlton, Dearborn, was the venue of the Conference. Co-ordination of the three Organizing Committees, three Programme Committees, and unique issues for the techni cal program and joint conference proceedings, made this event be a big challenge to organizers. General Chair was Professor Stephen Yurkovich, Department of Electrical Engineering, the Ohio State University, who, getting the assistance of a performant team, made an excellent job. I am confident that all the participants enjoyed a comfortable social environment, as well as a stimulating technical programme.
Dearborn, Michigan, USA September 15-18, 1996.
