The ASME 2016 Conference on Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures and Intelligent Systems (SMASIS) will take place September 28-30, 2016 in Stowe, VT. Adaptive Structures and Materials Systems by definition are intelligent, flexible systems that sense and respond to ever changing environments.

The field has rapidly matured due to synergistic interdisciplinary efforts across sectors of universities, government, and industry. To continue the high impact growth of this field and lead it into the future, the purpose of this conference is to assemble world experts across engineering and scientific disciplines (mechanical, aerospace, electrical, materials, and civil engineering, biology, physics chemistry, etc.) to actively discuss the latest breakthroughs in smart materials, the cutting edge in adaptive structure applications and the recent advances in both new device technologies and basic engineering research exploration.

SMASIS attracts approximately 300 attendees each year with over 250 technical presentations. The conference is divided into symposia broadly ranging from basic research to applied technological design and development to industrial and governmental integrated system and application demonstrations.
