The Fifty-Fourth Annual Allerton Conference on Communication, Control, and Computing will kick off

with Opening Tutorials being held on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at the Coordinated Science Laboratory. The conference sessions will start on Wednesday, September 28, 2016 through Friday, September 30, 2016, at the Allerton Park and Retreat Center. The Allerton House is located twenty-six miles southwest of the UrbanaChampaign campus of the University of Illinois in a wooded area on the Sangamon River. It is part of the fifteenhundred acre Robert Allerton Park, a complex of natural and man-made beauty designated as a National natural landmark. Allerton Park has twenty miles of wellmaintained

trails and a living gallery of formal gardens, studded with sculptures collected from around the world.
