The 3rd ASME/IEEE International Conference
on Mechatronic and Embedded Systems and Applications

Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, September 4-7, 2007

 

 

 

 

 

 

Introduction:

he 3rd ASME/IEEE International Conference on Mechatronic and Embedded Systems and Applications (MESA07), after successful MESA05 (Long Beach, CA) and MESA06 (Beijing, China), will be held in Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, September 4-7, 2007. ASME/IEEE MESA07 is an integral part of the 2007 ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conferences (2007 IDETC/CIE). Mechanical and electrical engineering show an increasing integration of mechanics with electronics and information processing. This integration is between the components (hardware) and the information-driven functions (software), resulting in integrated systems called mechatronic systems. The development of mechatronic systems involves finding an optimal balance between the basic mechanical structure, sensor and actuator implementation, automatic digital information processing and overall control for which embedded systems play a key role. The field of embedded system is getting more and more challenging, and issues in development of embedded software are attracting attention of an increasing number of researchers both in industry and academia. The goal of MESA07 is to bring together experts from the fields of mechatronic and embedded systems to disseminate the recent advances made in the area, discuss the future research directions, and exchange application experience with respect to the conference themes.
