It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the 19th IFAC Conference on Technoligy, Culture and International Stability - TECIS 2019, which aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia to give an overview of the state of the art, to present new research results and to exchange ideas and experiences in the field of international stability SCOPE Control and automation technologies can be used to improve the conditions in less developed regions by helping to create jobs and improving inflows of wealth. They can be also used to improve agriculture and to provide medical services in unstable regions. Technology development leads to dramatic changes in international stability. It has never been so important to examine system stability. During recent years social international and national systems of control have been shown to be inadequate and prone to be fundamental and most basic instable. Many basic assumptions are no longer certain and are definitely questioned. This event will systematically examine topics associated with these issues. Whilst TECIS 2019 will accept any papers within the scope of the event the conference is particularly concerned with the role of Cost Oriented Automation as a way of improving international stability, through its applications, technologies, processes and as part of larger systems contexts. VENUE TECIS 2109 will take place at Villa List Hotel in Sozopol, Bulgaria. Sozopol is an ancient seaside town located 35 km south of Burgas on the southern Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. Sozopol is a lovely place to spend a few days with its long sandy beaches, cobbled streets, numerous restaurants and historical features.
