Scope Of The Conference

The aim of WESIC 2008 is to provide a forum where companies, universities, institutes and research centers may interchange experiences in meeting the needs of advanced technology in manufacturing systems. The workshop will be of particular interest to those companies and institutions that are interested in collaborating in scientific projects in their sector. The intention is to identify common points of interest in order to participate in collaborative actions such as: research agreements, integration of PhD students in European companies/universities, transfer of technology, thematic networks, European Community research projects etc. The scope of the Workshop will focus on control and a related technology applied to the following themes, but is not limited to the topics listed:

*  Mecatronic systems
* Advanced manufacturing processes
* Intelligent systems in manufacturing & control
* Computer integrated manufacturing
* Robotics
* Modeling and Simulation
* Embedded control systems
* Image processing & computer vision
* Biomedical systems- biomechatronics
* Fault diagnosis
