Annual Symposium Synopsys

As MEMS become key components in pervasive computational systems, microsystem designs are evolving from "stand alone" components to systemically conceptualised application packages. Designers and engineers are beginning to work closely with medics, artists, environmental scientists and other end users to produce holistically designed systems for novel application areas. Recent extraordinary developments include using sense data as a basis for motion capture in new media arts, in-body sensing with radio telemetry and planetary exploration. These add to the impressive array of applications already in common currency, such as environmental sensing, object tracking with RFID and mobile office environments.

This symposium concerns the radical and big thinking required to deliver new capabilities based on microsystem technologies. We are interested in reporting on research and technology which addresses the following challenges:

  • MEMS design and integration
  • MEMS components, such as RF and optical subsystems
  • Sensor and actuator systems -- design and applications
  • Signal processing associated with MEMS devices
  • Smart and intelligent sensors
  • RFID technology and applications
  • MEMS markets and economic drivers
  • Novel application areas for MEMS, such as in-body sensing, pervasive gaming and the creative arts

We look forward to receiving your submission.

Conference Activities

For this year’s Sensors and Systems we have designed a wide variety of activities which we hope will create a hothouse for new and exciting ideas in MEMS research and development. Along side oral and poster presentations we will have keynotes and invited talks, graduate student activities and workshops (all included in the conference fee). More details will posted on the conference website.

Submit Proposal or Comment to Committee Chair

We encourage you to participate and to submit your interest as either an Scientific Committee Member or to organize a Scientific Committee*. The NSTI will provide the infrastructure for each Industrial Committee to organize and present a focused Symposium at the annual Nanotech Conference and Trade Show (Nanotech 2008, Boston, Massachusetts, June 1-5, 2008). Details will be provide upon approval of proposal.

* All submissions will be reviewed by the NSTI Scientific Committee Chairs and a timely response will be issued.
