The 15th Siberian Conference SIBCON-2021 offers opportunities to learn and to share information on the latest advances in control systems, communications, and robots. It will be held in Kazan Federal University, Kazan, Russian Federation, on May 13–15, 2021. The conference is organized by the Tomsk IEEE units and National Instruments Rus R&D on a regular basis in order to promote interdisciplinary discussion and interaction among scientists and engineers with an emphasis on the IEEE membership. The conference is a platform for the presentation and discussion of new fundamental and applied outcomes in electron communication systems, control and robotics.
