Best Practices in the European Smart System Integration Ecosystem: From Education to Markets

 

This year’s Call for Presentations focuses on best practice examples and experiences that can be transferred to and exploited by a multitude of Smart Systems applications.
  1. Presentations should address completely new products, smart enabled products or even ordinary products that are made extraordinary by the use of Smart Systems, for instance but not exclusively in the following sectors:
      * Transport & Mobility
      * Health
      * Factory Automation
      * Communications
      * Energy
      * Aerospace
      * Environment
      * Safety & Security
      * MNBS
  2. Presentations may cover different aspects of the Smart Systems life cycle, such as conception, design, prototyping, manufacturing, reliability & test, use, service provision, standardization, and end of life.
  3. We also invite presentations on new materials for Smart Systems, new technologies, production processes and the required equipment.
  4. Since Smart Systems Integration requires an extremely broad range of multi-disciplinary skills, and at the same time has the potential of motivating star students and young talents for a career path in this field, we particularly invite presentations on success stories in education and training on the job.

Irrespective of the priority area addressed, presentations should be in line with the industrial and applications driven character of the EPoSS Annual Forum.

Presentations will be selected by the members of the EPoSS Executive Committee.

If you wish to participate in the Call for Presentations, please send the proposed title of your presentation, an abstract (length: 1500 – 3000 characters), together with your full contact details, a short biography, and a photo to the EPoSS Office (contact@smart-systems-integration.org) by 18th July 2014.

Invitations for selected presentations will be sent by 8th August 2014.

If selected, the deadline for submission of the full presentation will be 12th September 2014.

  • engage with a fine variety of Smart Systems aficionados to put your ideas into practice,
  • exchange experiences in the conception, design, prototyping, manufacturing and application of Smart Systems,
  • receive first-hand information on trends and developments in Smart Systems Integration,
  • learn about and get involved in the SSI Ecosystem, including EPoSS and ECSEL,
  • take on an active role in reviewing and validating research priorities and roadmaps in Smart Systems Integration,
  • make use of the opportunity to disseminate best practice examples from education to markets.
