Call for Papers for the SSI 2009 in Brussels

Micro and nanotechnologies along with the latest information and communications technologies are driving the future of product innovation and economic growth in numerous sectors, including consumer electronics, automotive, medical and life sciences, IT peripherals, logistics, industrial and process control, and security systems. The economic success of both manufacturers and users in these sectors is dependent in the main on system-oriented design, system and component development and miniaturized packaging. A high level of technology is vital if a company is to remain competitive over the long term. System integration brings together a multitude of technologies, materials and processes in the production of a completely new product. Micro and nanotechnologies, special surfaces and materials are just as important as systems, components and reliability. Intelligent system integration throughout the value-added chain is necessary for reducing the lead time for product development. The impact and importance of system integration are considerable – both technologically and economically.

On behalf of the Committee, the Co-chair – Dr. Günter Lugert of Siemens AG and Chairman of the EPoSS Steering Committee – and the Local Co-chair – Prof. Dr. Chris van Hoof of IMEC – , I look forward to receiving your scientific and / or application oriented submission.
