International CAN Conference set for May in Germany

Feb. 8, 2024
CAN in Automation (CiA) association will gather to share applications and practices

The 18th international CAN Conference (iCC) organized by the nonprofit CAN in Automation (CiA) association will take place in Baden-Baden, Germany, May 14-15. The official conference language is English.

The iCC is the platform for presentation of CAN developments. Experts from all over the world and from the most diversified application areas have met since 1994 at this international event. The conference offers attendees the opportunity to become acquainted with the latest developments in CAN technology. It is also the platform for lecturing on CAN-based research and for exchanging experiences internationally with experts from related work fields.

During the past few years, a shift of focus has taken place from theory to practice and applications. This is true for the speakers as well as for the attendees. Since 2012, an important topic has been CAN FD, the second CAN protocol generation. From the 17th iCC on, CAN XL, the third CAN protocol generation has been on the agenda.

This year’s program will cover topics related to all three CAN generations: CAN CC (classic), CAN FD (flexible data rate), and CAN XL (extended data-field length) with a special focus on the CAN XL ecosystem.

The keynote by Marko Moch from Cariad is titled “From FlexRay to CAN-XL: Migrating real-time high-performance networks into the future.” The other 21 presentations are grouped in seven sessions. Presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings. The complete iCC program is available online.

The conference sponsored by esd electronics and Vector is accompanied by a tabletop exhibition. The first evening will include a welcome dinner, giving attendees an additional opportunity for social networking. Registration for participants and tabletop exhibition is possible by email at [email protected].
