Special Section on Recent Development of Electromechanical Devices

(Selected Papers from IS-EMD2005)

 

The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) Transactions on Electronics announces a forthcoming special section on gRecent Development of Electromechanical Devices (Selected Papers from IS-EMD2005)h to be published in August 2006.

The electromechanical devices are one of key devices that support development of systems applied in many fields including information, communication and environment engineering fields which are strategic ones in Japan.  They have made progress in terms on downsizing, high-density packaging and high performance devices on the bases of high reliability and high safety.  They have recently been researched and developed also from the points of view on energy-saving, environmental preservation and creation of new validity by application of new materials such as nano-materials.  The results like these will be expected to be presented at IS-EMD2005 (The international session of monthly research meeting on Electro-Mechanical Devices) held at Tamagawa University in November 2005.

In this special section, papers will be selected mainly from ones presented at IS-EMD2005, but other papers are also available properly.  It would be most grateful if many papers are contributed for great activation and timely dissemination of research in these fields.

Possible topics of interests include, but are not limited to:

      -Electro-Mechanical and Connection devices/materials (Switches, Relays, Connectors, Micro-motors, Optical devices, Automotive components, Micro-/Nano-devices and their materials)

      -Contact Phenomena (Contact resistance, Arc discharge, Sliding, Welding, Broadband signal transmission, Electromagnetic compatibility)

      -Applications (Communication, Power systems, Sensors, Instrumentation)

      -Evaluation (Modeling, Simulation)

 

Prospective authors are requested to send four copies of manuscript before December 14, 2005 to
