12th international CAN Conference
The 12th iCC took place in Barcelona, Spain in 2008. The conference program included sessions on network topologies, physical layer, and system design. Other topics were motion control, vehicle applications, and fault tolerance.
Vector Informatik sponsored the 12th iCC.
