Message from the 3CA 2010 Conference Chairs3CA 2010 is the International Symposium on Computer, Communication, Control and Automationsponsored by Intelligent Information Technology Application Research Association and Far EastUniversity. 3CA was started in 2008. The previous conferences were held in Wuhan, China (2008),Tainan, Taiwan (2010). This conference offers a great opportunity for scientists, engineers, andpractitioners to present the latest research results, ideas, developments, and applications, as well as tofacilitate interactions between scholars and practitioners. We cordially invite you to attend the 2010International Symposium on Computer, Communication, Control and Automation (3CA 2010), whichwill be held on May 5-7, 2010, Tainan Taiwan. Just like the name of the conference, the theme for thisconference is Advancing Computing, Communication, Control, and Automation Technologies. Onlyoriginal high quality papers related to this theme are especially solicited, including theories,methodologies, and applications in Computing, Communication, Control, and Automation. Topicscovering industrial issues/applications and academic research will be welcome.We would like to thank the program chairs, organization staff, and the members of the programcommittees for their hard work. Special thanks go to IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Taipei Chapterand IEEE Ukraine Section I&M / CI Joint Societies Chapter.We hope that 3CA 2010 will be successful and enjoyable to all participants. We look forward to seeing allof you next year at the 3CA 2011.Qi Luo, Wuhan Instiute of Technology, ChinaChao-Lin Kuo, Far East University, Taiwaniii
