The International Scientific and Technical Conference "Automation of Discrete Production Engineering" from 1998 is held annually within the scientific days of the Technical University of Sofia.
Scientists from Bulgaria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Georgia, Belarus, Serbia, Macedonia, etc. participate in the conference.
The conference is organized by the Department of ADP of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of TU-Sofia.
