Message from the ISADS Program Co-Chairs

Welcome to the Twelfth International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ISADS) 2015 in Taichung. The first ISADS was inaugurated 20 years ago in Kawasaki, Japan in 1993. The ADS technologies have been expanded in the past 22 years from the computing, communication, and control technologies to the innovative integration of these technologies and their applications, which are more closely related to our daily-life. The special topic of ISADS 2015 is the evolving systems for next generation social infrastructures, which bring the future technologies and global applications for the discussions among the researchers, engineers, planners, strategists, and managers from industries, governments, universities and research institutions worldwide.
