16th International Forum on Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Applications (AMAA 2012), "Smart Systems for Safe, Sustainable and Networked Vehicles" will be held in Berlin 30-31 May 2012. Abstract Submission until 31 January 2012.
The ambitious objectives of future road mobility, i.e. fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and zero accidents, imply a paradigm shift in the concept of the car regarding its architecture, materials, and propulsion technology, and require an intelligent integration into the systems of transportation and power. ICT, components and smart systems have been essential for a multitude of recent innovations, and are expected to be key enabling technologies for the changes ahead, both inside the vehicle and at its interfaces for the communication of data and energy.
It has been the objective of the International Forum on Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Applications (AMAA) for more than fifteen years to detect novel trends and to discuss the technological implications and innovation potential from day one on. In 2012, the topic of the AMAA conference will be “Smart Systems for Safe, Sustainable and Networked Vehicles”.
Experts from industry and academia are invited to submit proposals for papers addressing current research, developments and innovations in the field of ICT, components and systems and other key enabling technologies leading to the automobile and road transport of the future. Discussions at the conference will focus on the application areas mentioned below. We are looking forward to receiving your proposals, and to meeting you for an inspiring conference in May 2012.
Deadline for abstract submission is 31 January
2012
Full Manuscripts of Accepted Papers is 29 February 2012

Abstract Submission
Proposals for presentation of a paper at the 16th AMAA should be submitted in the form of an abstract including title, names and affiliations of authors and short summary of content (not exceeding one page A4) to the AMAA Office by 31 January 2012. The selection criteria include technical excellence and innovative strength of the described work. The evaluation process involves the members of the AMAA Steering Committee will take place in early February 2012. The presenting author of an accepted paper will benefit from a reduced registration fee.
Conference Book
Authors of accepted abstracts will be informed immediately and are expected to submit a paper for the AMAA Conference Book which is published worldwide by Springer prior to the conference. In order to ensure a timely publication of the book, manuscripts of all accepted papers have to be submitted prior to 29 February 2012.
Sponsorship Opportunities
There is a multitude of opportunities to bring your company’s activities to the attention of the AMAA community. These are ranging from the inclusion of your company’s logo into select communications to a platinum option which includes an entry in the list of sponsors on the first pages of the conference book which is published worldwide by Springer.
Exhibitor Information
The exhibition is an integral part of the AMAA. On both conference days, companies will be given the opportunity to present new products and services as well as novel technologies to an international expert audience representing automakers, suppliers and academia. Prototype vehicles can be shown at a parking lot close to the venue.
Satellite Events
Working groups e.g. of EPoSS and other initiatives will meet at dedicated satellite events of the AMAA 2012. Information about funding opportunities e.g. in the fourth round of calls of the European Green Cars Initiative PPP will be given in dedicated sessions
