Due to the great success of the 1st Joint Symposium, the organizers are proud to announce the 2nd Joint International Conference on System-integrated Intelligence: New Challenges for Product and Production Engineering, that will be held in Bremen from July 2nd (Wed.) to 4th (Fri.) 2014.

The conference provides a forum for academia and industry to present their latest research findings, innovations and practises

in the field of systemintegrated intelligence. It focuses on the integration of advanced functional capabilities into materials,

systems, parts and products as an enabling technology for established application scenarios as well as new products and

services. The perspective is highly interdisciplinary. The technological basis extends from new sensor technologies via

material-integrated sensing and intelligence to aspects of communication and data evaluation. It includes the implementation

of such approaches in autonomous decision-making, self-optimization and control in advanced engineering products and systems.

The conference further addresses wider fields of research, such as materials science and engineering, microsystems technology,

mechatronic systems and production engineering as well as electronics and computer science. Specific application environments

in the field of robotics, structural health monitoring, production and logistics will be highlighted in the programme through definition of dedicated symposia. Studies on implementation of system-integrated intelligence in additional scenarios beyond this scope are highly welcome.

Individual topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
