12th international CAN Conference

The Hilton in Barcelona (ES) was the place for holding the 12th iCC. It was the meeting place for advanced users and CAN academics. The speakers provided papers on the latest application developments and research results. Focus, however, was on software and system design, topology and architecture as well as fault tolerance. Other session topics were automotive, building automation, and motion control applications and last but not least physical layer.
