The volume is a collection of the selected articles presented at the 2016 International Conference on Automatic Control and Information Engineering (ICACIE 2016), which was held at Oct. 22-23, 2016 in Hong Kong. This conference is organized by The University of Hong Kong (HKU).

ICAICE 2016 aims to bring together researchers, engineers and scientists from around the world who work in the areas of interest. It is focused on promoting interaction between the theoretical, experimental, and applied communities, so that a high level exchange is achieved in new and emerging areas within Automatic Control and Information Engineering and all areas that relate to optimization. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all in the Technical Program Committee who have reviewed the papers and developed a very interesting conference program, as well as to the invited and plenary speakers.

The conference were held in the form of review lectures of the leading scientists with free discussion and personal oral and poster presentations of the participants. On the basis of the peer-review process, of the reports presented at the conference, 36 selected papers from 110 total were included in this volume. These papers present new research in the fields of Automatic Control and Information Engineering. We sincerely hope that the reports presented in this volume will contribute to the advancement of knowledge not only in these fields, but also others.

The organizing committee of the conference thanks all the participants for their fruitful work and personal contribution to the development of these conference proceedings.
