TOPICS

Because of the inherently multidisciplinary nature of Multibody Systems and Mechatronics, the scope of the topics in the congress is necessarily broad, but within the science of motion. Papers include subjects on Multibody kinematics and dynamics and Mechatronics and are not limited to the following topics:

·  Analysis and synthesis of mechanisms

·  Dynamics of multibody systems

·  Design algorithms for mechatronic systems

·  Simulation procedures and results

·  Prototypes and their performance

·  Robots and micromachines

·  Experimental validations

·  Theory of mechatronic simulation

·  Mechatronic systems

·  Control of mechatronic systems

A limited number of papers by students will be accepted for presentation. The Scientific Committee will select thirty papers for presentation at the sessions, which will be published in the Proceedings.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

Guidelines for the manuscript format are available on the web page. CLICK HERE. The papers will be written with 10 point characters in one column on an A4 sheet. The length of papers will be limited to 16 pages.

LOCATION

San Juan is a modern town since it has been completely rebuilt after its destruction during the Earthquake of 1944. San Juan is located just at the foot of the Andes.

Grapes are industrialized and the main production are wines, raisins, champagnes, must. Olive production is becoming important. In April the weather is fine with mean temperatures of 20°C.

ACCOMMODATION

San Juan has hotels for all tastes. The average cost for a 3-star hotel is about U$S 30. Early reservation is recommended by contacting hotels directly or through the Musme 2008 Secretariat. A list of hotels will be sent to the authors and to registered persons.

TRAVEL INFORMATION

San Juan can be reached easily  by airplane, bus and by car. By airplane, it is possible to travel from Buenos Aires to San Juan or from Santiago de Chile to Mendoza and from there to San Juan. There are hourly buses from Mendoza to San Juan and the trip takes approximately two hours. A pick up service by bus will be provided from and to Mendoza airport.
