Welcome to the 7th ASME/IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics <strong>and</strong> Embedded Systems <strong>and</strong> Applications (MESA<br />

2011). The MESA conferences organized by the MESA executive committee are primarily co-sponsored by<br />

• ASME Design Engineering Division (DED)<br />

• IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (IEEE ITSS)<br />

• IEEE Control Systems Society (IEEE CSS)<br />

WELCOME MESSAGES<br />

<strong>and</strong> technically co-sponsored by other organizations. The MESA conference is organized by ASME <strong>and</strong> IEEE alternately every other<br />

year.<br />

The objectives of the conference are mechanical <strong>and</strong> electrical systems that show an increasing integration of mechanics with<br />

electronics <strong>and</strong> information processing. This integration is between the components (hardware) <strong>and</strong> the information-driven functions<br />

(software), resulting in integrated systems called mechatronic systems. The development of mechatronic systems involves finding<br />

an optimal balance between the basic mechanical structure, sensor <strong>and</strong> actuators, automatic digital information processing <strong>and</strong><br />

control in which embedded systems play a key role.<br />

It is our pleasure to report that this year we have received a total of 179 full papers that were submitted to the 16 MESA symposia<br />

covering the fields of interest of the conference. The large number of submissions has provided the Program Committee a good<br />

foundation to build a high-quality technical program for this three-day conference along with four prominent keynote speeches <strong>and</strong><br />

135 accepted papers.<br />

The organization work of MESA is the effort of many people <strong>and</strong> organizations, in particular the Advisory Committee, the Symposium<br />

Chairs, the Technical Program Committee, <strong>and</strong> the ASME/DED staff. We would like to acknowledge the excellent voluntary work<br />

of these individuals <strong>and</strong> the support of ASME <strong>and</strong> IEEE.<br />
