iCaMaL has been successfully convened multiple times, establishing itself as a vibrant platform for academic exchange in the fields of automation, manufacturing, transportation, and logistics. Some of the earlier editions were organized primarily as high-level academic events without paper submissions, focusing on in-depth discussions and knowledge sharing among experts from academia and industry.

The subsequent conferences held in Wuhan and Hong Kong introduced a paper track and achieved impressive academic outcomes. All accepted papers from these two editions have been indexed by EI Compendex, demonstrating the strong technical quality recognized by the research community. Moreover, several outstanding contributions were recommended for publication in reputable special issues, further enhancing the conference’s international visibility and scholarly influence.
