<span>I'm currently planning for an "International Conference on Advances in Vehicle Structures & Systems - ICAVSS" either in Chennai or Bengaluru (India) during mid-Feb/Mar 2011. This is an initiative lead by MechAero Foundation based in New Perungalathur, Chennai, India. Discussions are in place to organise at MIT Campus (Chennai) or IISc (Bengaluru) or by a consortium of private engineering colleges near Tambaram. In this regard, I would like to hear about your participation - to present your work (Plenary address, Keynote address, Thematic Session Chair/Co-Chair) and/or potentially sponsor the event. </span>
</p>
<p>
<span>A first call for papers is in draft at the moment. The following are the provisional topics of interest:</span><span><span><span> </span></span></span><span>Aerospace Vehicles</span><span><span>,<span> </span></span></span><span>Automotive Vehicles including heavy vehicles</span><span><span>,</span></span><span>Railway and Military Vehicles</span><span><span>,</span></span><span>Unmanned Aircraft Systems</span><span><span>,</span></span><span>Marine and Mine Vehicles.</span><span> </span><span> Focus is given to lightweight, sustainable transport, environmental friendly, low-cost and emerging technologies in modelling & simulation. There is also special product exhibitions planned over three days focused: Day 1 & 2: CAE Simulation: MSC, ALTAIR, LSTC, DASSAULT, MathWorks, LMS,... Day 3: Higher education providers and OEM manufacturers. Any suggestions/ideas are most welcome. We are also seeking honorary sponsors such as Governmental laboratories and associations. Honorary sponsorship is free (if a member attends the conference) and will be showcased in all our conference related materials. There are also places for regular sponsorships and exhibitions. If you require more information, please feel free to contact me by email <a href="mailto:vijay@mechaero.org">vijay@mechaero.org</a>.</span>
