It is with great pleasure that we announce the SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA 2021incorporating the 29th Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference, the13th Robotics and Mechatronics Conference of South Africa and the 31th AnnualSymposium of the Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa. This flagshipSouthern Africa regional conference will be hosted by the School of Electrical, Electronicand Computer Engineering of the North-West University, in conjunction with the SouthAfrican Institute of Electrical Engineers (SAIEE). SAUPEC, RobMech and PRASA bringstogether experts from the industry, academics and students in engineering, computerscience, pattern recognition, robotics and mechatronics to present research papers,network, and expand the fraternity that has been built as part of the SAUPEC, RobMech,and PRASA legacies. The conference will incorporate the Eskom Tertiary EducationSupport Programme (TESP) report-back meeting.
Submission Guidelines
Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality papers in the above researchfields. Papers, with maximum length of six pages, are to be prepared in accordance withthe IEEE format available on the conference website.
Review Policy
Full papers will be assessed by at least two reviewers. Papers accepted by the reviewpanel will be published in the conference proceedings. Papers not accepted by thereview panel may be presented as posters but will not be included in the proceedings.The full review policy is available on the conference website. Papers will be submittedto IEEE to be uploaded on IEEE Xplore after IEEE has approved the conference.
