The first ASME Conference on Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures
and Intelligent Systems will be held in the beautiful setting
of Turf Valley Resort, close to both Washington DC and Baltimore. This
conference provides a casual setting for formal and informal interactions
between a broad range of experts in diverse fields. The conference will
be held from October 28-30, 2008 in Ellicott City, MD.
Adaptive Structures and Materials Systems by definition are intelligent, flexible systems that have sentience and responsiveness to ever changing environments. The field has rapidly matured due to synergistic interdisciplinary efforts across sectors of universities, government and industry. To continue the high impact growth of this field and lead it into the future, the purpose of this conference is to assemble world experts across engineering and scientific disciplines (mechanical, aerospace, electrical, materials, and civil engineering, biology, physics chemistry, etc) to actively discuss the latest breakthroughs in smart materials, the cutting edge in adaptive structure applications and the recent advances in both new device technologies and basic engineering research exploration.
To meet this goal, the conference is divided into six symposia broadly ranging from basic research to applied technological
design and development to industrial and governmental integrated system and application demonstrations.
The six symposia specifically are:
