7th International Heinz Nixdorf Symposium - Deadline Extension: November 2, 2007

The new deadline for submission is November 2, 2007.

Call for Papers:
7th International Heinz Nixdorf Symposium: Self-Optimizing Mechatronic Systems: Design the Future
http://www.hni.upb.de/symposium2008
Mechatronics and Self-optimization
The integration of mechanical engineering and information technology and computer science results in extensive potentials.
The integration of these disciplines is expressed by the term "mechatronics". This term refers to the symbiotic cooperation of mechanics, electronics, control engineering and software technology, in order to improve the behavior of a technical system.
Future technical systems encompass subsystems with inherent partial intelligence due to integrated micro processors. The behavior of the complete system will be characterized by communication and cooperation of intelligent subsystems. From the computer science point of view it is a distributed system of cooperating agents. This establishes fascinating possibilities for the design of technical products of tomorrow. The term Self-optimization characterizes this perspective.

The topics of interest for the 7th International Heinz Nixdorf Symposium the following computer science related topics include:

* Adaptive Control and Self-Optimization
* Multi-Objective Optimization and Optimization under Consideration of Uncertainty
* New Technologies in Domain Spanning Desing (Integration of Mechanical, Electrical and Software Design)
* Intelligent Agents in Engineering Applications
* Safety and Dependability
* Test and Verfication of embedded Systems
* Real Time Operating and Communication Systems
* Reconfigurable Hardware
* Systems with Self-X properties such as Self-Healing, Self-Optimization, Self-Coordination, Self-Organisation, etc.
* Prevention of Product Piracy
