ASME/IEEE MESA 2011 Call for Papers
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 7th ASME/IEEE International Conference on
Mechatronics & Embedded Systems & Applications (MESA 2011)

Co-sponsored by ASME DED, IEEE ITSS and IEEE CSS
August 28-31, 2011, Washington, DC, USA

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mechanical and electrical systems 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
actuators, automatic digital information processing and control in which
embedded systems play a key role. The goal of the 7th ASME/IEEE MESA11,
is to bring together experts from the fields of mechatronic and embedded
systems, disseminate the recent advances made in the area, discuss
future research directions, and exchange application experience. The
conference is organized in a number of symposia under the umbrella of
the ASME IDETC 2011 (http://www.asmeconferences.org/IDETC2011).
