AMAA 2011: Registration open!

The 15th International Forum on Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Applications (AMAA) will be held in Berlin, 29-30 June 2011. Reduced rates are available for members of the EPoSS Steering Group and the EPoSS Automotive Working Group.

The AMAA is the number one conference dedicated to novel ICT components and smart systems enabling green cars and safe road transport. This year, its focus is on electrified vehicles, Smart Systems for Electric, Safe and Networked Mobility. This event is a preferred occasion for senior engineers and managers from vehicle manufacturers, automotive suppliers and semiconductor industry to meet with researchers from world-class academic institutions for a discussion about the key technologies for the automobile of the future. In 2011, the building of consortia for research projects, particularly for the European Green Cars Initiative, will be stimulated.

Oral presentation will be given by representatives from e.g. Volkswagen, Bosch, Infineon, NXP Semiconductors, ELMOS, LiTec, SICK, Warwick Control, SINTEF, VTT, Fraunhofer, DLR and many others. Discussions will focus on the following topics:
