2008 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration, Nagoya, Japan

<p>The 20th century was the age of evolution of science and technology concerning artifacts&#046; Fundamentals of mass production had been established by specialized technologies and surely had contributed our social life&#046; In the 21st century, our societies expect methodologies for solving problems of complex systems consisting of society, human and technologies, which cannot be completed by single sectionalized technology&#046; Under these circumstances, the system integration (SI) to look down the whole technologies is becoming a critical issue of engineering&#046;</p> <p>2008 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration (SI International 2008) will be held as the first symposium on system integration&#046; This symposium will provide science and technology for integrating systems concerning artifacts, human and society in order to solve global problems of complex systems&#046;</p> <p>The topics of this symposium includes, and not limited to</p> <p>1&#046; Artifacts</p> <p>Mechatronics systems, Robotics, Automation systems, Virtual reality systems, Entertainment systems, Micro&#8211;nano systems, &#046;&#046;&#046;</p> <p>2&#046; Human and Society</p> <p>Welfare systems, Environment / Ecological systems, Bio systems, Rescue systems, Security systems, Enterprise resource planning systems, Supply chain management systems, Intelligent transportation systems, Logistics systems, Human, &#046;&#046;&#046;</p> <p>3&#046; Assistive Technologies</p> <p>Large&#8211;scale system simulation, Software systems, Networking systems, Decision making systems, &#046;&#046;&#046;</p><blockquote><br></blockquote>
