Conference on Recent Advances in Mechatronics, Istanbul, Turkey, August 14-16, 1995, Support of U.S. Scientists' Participation

说明：该项目是为了支持美国参加计划于1995年8月14日至16日在土耳其伊斯坦布尔举行的“机电一体化最新进展会议”国际会议。会议计划邀请土耳其、美国、日本和欧洲的科学家和工程师分享研究成果，确定未来的研究领域，并在机电一体化领域开展联合工作。主题将包括：机电一体化设备的发展；生产自动化;智能制造系统，机器人和运动控制，机电一体化教育和培训。该计划要求召开由日本专家主持的特别会议和辅导课。土耳其的组织者是okyay Kaynak博士，他是伊斯坦布尔Bogazici大学的联合国教科文组织电子学主席。预计将在会议之前出版并提供全体会议演讲的记录和提交的文件。会议范围：本次会议是同类会议中的第一次，由美国机械工程师学会、IEEE工业电子学会、IEEE机器人与自动化学会、日本电气工程师学会、日本机械工程师学会、日本机器人学会和日本仪器与控制工程师学会等组织主办。美国科学家的参与对这次会议的成功至关重要。预计他们将受益于与强大的日本代表团的互动以及欧洲的参与。土耳其组织者希望该会议每两年举行一次，在欧洲、美国和日本之间轮流举行。土耳其日益重视这一科学专题，正如在博加西奇大学设立教科文组织主席所证明的那样，将从在该大学举行会议中受益。＊＊＊

*** 9510437 Tosunoglu Description: This project is to support US participation in an international meeting "The Conference on Recent Advances in Mechatronics" planned to be held August 14-16, 1995 in Istanbul, Turkey. The meeting is scheduled to bring Turkish, US, Japanese, and European scientists and engineers to share research results and identify areas for future research, and for joint work in the area of mechatronics. Topics to be covered will include: development of mechatronic machines; production automation; intelligent manufacturing systems, robotics and motion control, and education and training in mechatronics. The plans call for special sessions and tutorials to be led by Japanese experts. The Turkish organizer is Dr.Okyay Kaynak, UNESCO Chair on echatronics at Bogazici University in Istanbul. It is expected that a proceedings of the plenary lectures and presented papers will be published and made available before the meeting. Scope: This meeting is the first in its type, and is sponsored by, among others, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, the IEEE Robotics & Automation Society, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, the Japanese Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Robotics Society of Japan, and the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers of Japan. The participation of US scientists is important to the success of this meeting. It is expected that they will benefit from the interaction with the strong Japanese delegation as well as the European participation. The Turkish organizer hopes to have this meeting held bi-annually, rotating the host country between Europe, the USA, and Japan. The increasing emphasis in Turkey on this scientific topic, as evidenced by the establishment of the UNESCO chair at Bogacici University, will benefit from having the meeting held at that university. ***
