Purpose
The purpose of this biennial IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced 
Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM), following the footsteps of the first one in 
Tokyo, Japan, in 1997, is to promote activities in various areas of 
mechatronics by providing a forum for exchange of ideas, presentation of 
technical achievements, and discussion of future directions.  The theme of the
conference is Informatics in Mechatronics.  Quality papers will be considered
for publication in the IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics.  The conference
format is three days of paper presentations (three to four parallel tracks) 
and one day of workshops and tutorials.

Topics
System Integration, Actuators and Sensors, Intelligent Control, Robotics, 
Machine Vision, Manufacturing, Motion Control, Vibration and Noise Control, 
Micro Devices and Opto-Electronic Systems, Automotive Systems, Intelligent 
Systems, Industry Applications and other applications including new frontier 
fields of Intelligent Mechatronics such as Fusion of Mechanical Systems, 
Communication Technology, Bio-mechatronics, and Artificial Intelligence.

Paper Submission
Prospective authors should submit six copies of the manuscript in full paper 
style, complete with abstract, references, and illustrations to the nearest 
Program Co-chair by mail, indicating a corresponding author whose name, 
affiliation, address, phone/fax numbers and email address should be clarified 
on the first page of the manuscript.  The length of the manuscript is limited 
to a maximum of six pages in Proceedings, and it should preferably be written 
in IEEE format (see http://www.ieee.org/pubs/authors.html for instructions).  
The final manuscript should be submitted in electronic form (.PS or .PDF 
format) since the Proceedings will be published in CD-ROM instead of paper 
medium.  Abstracts will be collected into a bound volume available at the 
conference.
