The 2014 IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics will be held on July
8-11, 2014 in Besançon, France. AIM 2014 conference brings together an international community of
experts to discuss the state-of-the-art, new research results, perspectives of future developments, and
innovative applications relevant to mechatronics, robotics, control, automation, and related areas.
AIM 2014 conference invites submissions of high quality research papers describing original work on the
following topics, but not limited to: Actuators, Automotive Systems, Bioengineering, Data Storage
Systems, Electronic Packaging, Fault Diagnosis, Human-Machine Interfaces, Industry Applications,
Information Technology, Intelligent Systems, Machine Vision, Manufacturing, Micro-Electro-Mechanical
Systems, Micro/Nano Technology, Modeling and Design, System identification and adaptive control,
Motion Control, Vibration and Noise Control, Neural and Fuzzy Control, Opto-Electronic Systems,
Optomechatronics, Prototyping, Real-Time and Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation, Robotics, Sensors,
System Integration, Transportation Systems, Smart Materials and Structures, Energy Harvesting and other
frontier fields of mechatronics.
Contributed Papers
Accepted and presented papers will be indexed by EI, Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation
Index (ISI Proceedings) and SciVerse Scopus. All papers will go through a rigorous, single-blind reviewing
process. Accepted papers will be presented in an oral-presentation during the conference. In addition, all
contributions will appear in full-length without distinction in the conference proceedings, and will be
submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.
Best Paper Awards
All submitted papers will be evaluated for the Best Conference Paper Award, and Best Student Paper
Award.
Tutorials & Workshops
Proposals for half day or full day tutorials and workshops addressing new topics in intelligent
mechatronics are invited for submission to the T/W Chairs. Proposals must include (1) statement of
objectives, (2) intended audiences, (3) list of speakers, and (4) list of topics.
Organized Sessions
Organized session proposers should submit to the Organized Session Chairs a brief statement of
purpose for the session as well as the abstract of the papers to be included. A typical organized session
consists of 4 to 5 related papers.
Industrial tour
A tour of industrial activities related to Mechatronics will be organized.
Venue
AIM 2014 will be held in Mercure Hotel and the Nouveau Théâtre de Besançon.
Besançon can be easily reached by train from the international airports of Paris, Basel, Lyon, Geneva and
Zurich.
