The ICAC series has a long established history since its first conference in London in 1995. The conference initially aimed at providing a forum for Chinese scientists, engineers, and academics in the UK to update technical knowledge, exchange research ideas, and formulate joint research programs, especially between the UK and China for mutual benefits. Since 2007, the conference has been transforming towards a true international profile with delegates coming from all around the world. In the last decade, all papers that had been presented in this conference series have entered the IEEE Xplore digital library and EI indexed.
