The Mechatronics conference is dedicated to enhanced methods and new techniques for the design and production of the increasingly complex mechanical and electrical components and systems in vehicles. A series of mini-conferences will address new research results in the following particular domains: * Quality and Testing - including reliability methods, noise and vibration testing * Control Systems - including emission, transmission, suspension steering and braking control * Sensors & Communications Systems - including multiplexing and in-vehicle networking * Advanced Ergonomics - including speech input and output, display systems * Innovative Software Solutions - including artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, automatic vision systems * Prodcut Modelling - including variational design, integrated data models, simultaneous engineering, rapid prototyping and product information management * The Development of Braking Systems within the Automotive Industries * Virtual Reality Papers are invited on all of the above and related topics Final Date for Abstracts: 14th April 1994 Date for Draft Manuscripts: 31st May 1994 Date for Final Papers: 18th July 1994 PROGRAMME COMMITTEE
