Brokerage Event on Safety & Security Systems in Europe - Postdam (Allemagne) - 31/05 et 01/06 2007.

The political, economical and technological changes due to globalisation causes a series of positive new developments and impulses, but also new risks and threats. Especially since 11/9 the question of security against terrorism and crime and the safety of infrastructures and (public) utilities is at the top of the agenda in Europe.

The new 7th Framework Programme for Research and Development of the European Commission has therefore conceded research on safety and security as a high priority. We therefore invite you to join the international conference “Safety and Security in Europe” organised by the Innovation Relay Centre Northern Germany, represented by VDI/VDE-IT. The international conference is addressed to technology-oriented enterprises and research institutions in the area of security and safety.

Additionally to the two-day conference, IRC Northern Germany organises a Brokerage Event session.

Main topics:
- Robust autonomous ad-hoc communication concepts.
- Embedded systems for signal and image processing, pattern recognition, data reduction and communication.
- Simultaneous localisation and mapping.
- Tracking of persons and objects.
- IT for identification technologies, e.g. RFID, biometrics.
- IT system concepts for surveillance of critical objects or areas.

These topics include data privacy, inherent security concepts and standardisation for the named focuses.
Classic IT-Security (e. g. firewalls, antivirus concepts, etc.) is not in the focus of the forum.

Environnement / Energies

International fair and conference "waste to energy" 2007 - 9 mai 2007 - Bremen (Allemagne).

The production of energy from all kinds of residues will be the main theme of the international fair and conference "waste to energy" 2007 (www.wte-expo.com). The event will take place on 9 and 10 May 2007 in Bremen and focus the following topics:
- Thermal and mechanical-biological waste treatment.
- Material flow management.
- Secondary fuels, biomass and biofuels.

As part of the fair "waste to energy" 2007, the Innovation Relay Centre Northern Germany organises an international Brokerage Event held on 9 May 2007. The event offers exhibitors and visitors a chance to precisely identify potential co-operation partners.

Brokerage Event participants submit co-operation profiles that will be published in a catalogue enabling them to select and meet potential partners. Those meetings will be arranged by the IRC on the basis of participants' requests and will take place at the IRC stand.

Participants have a chance to:
- Establish valuable contacts.
- Meet potential co-operation partners and clients.
- Iidentify partners for European research projects.
- Create common development perspectives.

Deadlines:
- Registration and submission of co-operation profiles: 17 April 2007
- Booking of individual meetings: 24 April 2007

Automatismes / Microtechnologies et microsystèmes.

11th International Forum on Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Applications - AMAA 2007 - 6 mai 2007 - Berlin.

Microsystems applications (MST) in automobiles have become commonplace: they enable the introduction of a series of new functions and at the same time the replacement of existing technologies, offering improved performance and better value for money. With the introduction of microsystems a series of challenges arise regarding complexity, systems design, reliability, serviceability, etc. These challenges have to be addressed in order to meet high customer expectations concerning performance and price.

Suggested topics of AMAA 2007 are:
- Safety: all aspects of preventive and protective safety (e.g. accident avoidance, pre- and after-crash actions, vehicle stability control)
- Powertrain: on-line measurement and control of engine and transmission subsystems (e.g. emission control, traction control)
- Comfort and HMI: systems to enhance the comfort of passengers and human-machine interface issues (e.g. seat, climate control, driver assistance)
- Networked Vehicle: all aspects of intra-car systems and ambient communication
- Technology-related topics
- Sensors (e.g. pressure, harsh environment), power aspects (e.g. low power sensors, energy harvesting), managing complexity

IRC Northern Germany will organise this year again the successful tradition of PAMS (Pre-Arranged Meeting Service), to allow the participants to meet potential co-operation partners in the fields of automotive industry, microsystems, and of course microsystems within the automotive industry during intensive face-to-face talks.
