12 13Welcome

ACTUATOR 2008 is the eleventh in a series of biennial ACTUATOR events aimed at bringing together leading experts and practitioners from all over the world in the field of actuators.

When starting in 1988 ACTUATOR offered a new forum to a couple of non-conventional actuator technologies, most of them being far away from any commercial application at that time. In the meantime some of these tech-nologies have achieved their technical breakthrough with series products in industrial and consumer goods. No doubt, smart materials in combination with microtechnologies do have the potential for a great leap in miniaturisation and performance of actuators and drives.

From event to event the number of conference contributions has steadily increased. In 2000 we had to set-up a second track of oral contributions, be-cause of the significant number of abstracts received in response to the call for papers and the limited number of oral slots. In 2006, after three events with an increase of abstracts of about 20 percent each, we faced the same conflict on a higher level: High-ranking contributors cancelled their presentation, because there was no chance to get a lecture, although we usually publish “poster” manuscripts in the same extent as “oral” ones. Finally, after a controversial discussion in the programme committee during the 2006 event, we decided to introduce a third track, in case there was no decrease in 2008.

The response to the current Call for Papers was exactly on the same high level as in 2006. Therefore, we followed the decision made. Thus, in total 257 conference contributions, 116 oral presentations and 141 posters, will be portraying the state of the art and indicating future trends. Nevertheless, we kept the principle not to run the reviews in parallel. This rearrangement of the schedule offers the great chance of starting a little bit later in the morning while increasing the number of sessions at the same time. Thus, new promis-ing sessions will be on the start, e. g. “Actuator control”, “Pneumatics” and “Haptic applications”. Including all reviews, a 2008 Conference Participant has the chance to listen to 49 well selected oral contributions. We hope that the preference conflicts have been minimised by a well-selected placement of the sessions in the general schedule.

We assume that besides this programme there will be sufficient time to visit the 5th International Exhibition on Smart Actuators and Drive Systems presenting components, system approaches and applications of smart actuators and low-power electromagnetic drives based on conventional (electromagnetic) and innovative working principles (new actuators), and related topics.

The Programme Committee and the organiser would be pleased to welcome you at the 11th International Conference on New Actuators and the 5th Inter-national Exhibition on Smart Actuators and Drive Systems in June 2008.

Looking forward to welcoming you in Bremen
