EMV 2007 Electromagnetic Compatibility International Exhibition and Workshops; 6 - 8 March 2007; Stuttgart, Germany
EMV 2007 is Europe's leading exhibition for Electromagnetic Compatibility - the ideal platform for the dialogue between users in all fields of the electronic industry, the suppliers of EMC solutions and services and scientific experts of the EMC branch. The change between the EMC exhibition and conference in Düsseldorf with the EMC exhibition with workshops in the south of Germany has proved itself very well within the last few years. The move to Stuttgart in odd years manages to put the event in the heart of an economy region which is marked by mechanical engineering and motor industry like no-where else. The visitor potential in this region is enormous and the accessibility is also improved fundamentally for visitors, exhibitors and conference attendees from other regions as well as from other countries. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is one of the most important criteria for the use of electrical and electronical appliances, systems and components. With the conjunction of exhibition and conference, the EMC-show offers engineers, technicians and the technical management the opportunity to gain first hand information about trends and new technologies in the sector of EMC. www.mesago.de/en/EMV/main.htm  (source NEXUS site: http://www.nexus-mems.com )

Workshop "Bioinspired Signal Processing"; January 24 - 26th 2007, Barcelona, Spain
The main goal of this GOSPEL workshop is to raise awareness of the ability of bioinspired signal processing methods to target real-world problems. The workshop will be a three-day event with nine high level invited lecturers, selected oral presentations and posters. The attendance will be limited to about 50 contributions to allow plenty of time for discussion and informal meetings.
The focus of the workshop is on signal processing inspired on the olfactory system. However, the workshop is also open to more general contributions related to biological/artificial olfaction and signal processing inspired on other sensory modalities. The workshop will include the following topics: Bioinspired algorithms for olfactory data processing; Computational models of olfaction; Biosensors based on olfactory proteins/neurons; Electronic Noses Instrumentation: Soft/Hard design; Signal & Data Processing; Multi-modal Data Fusion & Perception; Applications (Industrial, Environment, Medical); Biological Principles of Olfaction: mammals and insects; Processing of olfactory bulb activity images. Contributors will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to be published in the book series "Studies in Computational Intelligence" available from Springer. The book will be published under the title "Biologically inspired signal and data processing" (tentative).

PATENT-DfMM and NEXUS MWG Design Modelling Simulation Workshop, 25 Jan 2007, Berlin, Germany
The objective of this workshop is to identify needs of the Microsystems/MEMS industry (fabless design houses, manufacturers, etc.) in terms of design methodology, services and software tools. The “Design for Micro & Nano Manufacture Network of Excellence (PATENT-DfMM)” has defined an internal project to assess these needs and to initiate the research to address these needs. As an outcome, PATENT-DfMM aims at a first draft road map identifying key challenges as well as probable developments associated with future design methodologies and tools in the areas of DfT (Test), DfR (Reliability) and DfP (Packaging) strategies for MNT, summarised under DfMM. MEMS designers from industry and research labs, as well as MEMS software tool providers are welcome to participate in this workshop. Participation is free of charge. A copy of the resulting “roadmap documentation” will be distributed to all active participants and to those who contribute to the work remotely. The workshop is jointly organised by the NEXUS MWG Design Modelling Simulation (DMS) and the PATENT-DfMM NoE.
