ISMA'18 is the eleventh in a series of symposia focusing on theoretical and practical aspects of mechatronics. It will be held by the Mechatronics Center at American University of Sharjah, UAE, from March 4 to 6, 2018. The symposium covers the synergetic integration of mechanical engineering with electronics, intelligent control, and design and manufacturing of industrial products and processes. The main idea of the symposium is to bring together scientists, scholars, engineers, and students from universities and industries to exchange and promote research in the field of mechatronics, and hence to foster research relations between the universities and the industry in this field.
