Welcome

DEAR SMASIS ATTENDEE:

We welcome you to the 12th annual meeting of the ASME Smart Materials, Adaptive
Structures, and Intelligent Systems (SMASIS) Conference. As in the years past, our goal is
to provide a friendly, casual forum for the exchange of ideas and latest results. Our sincere
appreciation goes to all the presenters for choosing to share their very best work at
this conference.

SMASIS is divided into eight symposia, which span basic research, applied technological Sincerely,
design and development, and industrial and governmental integrated system and
application demonstrations: Mohammed F. Daqaq
Symposium 1: Development & Characterization of Multi-functional Materials General Chair
Symposium 2: Mechanics and Behavior of Active Materials New York University, Abu Dhabi
Symposium 3: Modeling, Simulation and Control of Adaptive Systems
Symposium 4: Integrated System Design and Implementation
Symposium 5: Structural Health Monitoring
Symposium 6: Bioinspired Smart Materials and Systems
Symposium 7: Energy Harvesting
Symposium 8: Emerging Technologies

As in the past, we will continue our tradition of honoring the ASME Adaptive Structures
Prize winner, Dr. Nancy Johnson, who will deliver a keynote presentation.

We have a Welcome Reception on Monday; exhibits on Tuesday with the participating
companies listed below; networking breakfasts and lunches, Monday through Wednesday;
and our Pioneer Banquet at the Kentucky Derby Museum in Churchill Downs, home of the
Kentucky Derby, on Tuesday evening. We hope that these social events provide you the
opportunity to expand your own personal community and broaden your horizons.

SMASIS is dedicated to developing future leaders in science, technology, and engineering. Oliver Myers
This is an emphasis of our Student and Young Professional Development group. Highlights Technical Chair
of their symposium are the two student competitions on Monday, with the Best Paper Clemson University
Competition in the morning and Hardware Competition in the afternoon. In addition, several
student events are planned to provide networking. We are very proud that our students and
young professionals are always seeking ways to give back to the community. Please take
advantage of these opportunities to see our rising stars and to meet your future colleagues
and our future leaders!

The planning for this conference has been a significant team effort, including members

of the ASME Aerospace Division Adaptive Structures and Material Systems Branch. Our

executive committee provided tremendous support and guidance, and we could not have

proceeded without all the contributions of the symposia chairs, co-chairs, and organizing

committees. Our thanks go to them for assembling such outstanding technical programs. We

also recognize all the authors, keynote and invited speakers, and panel participants who are

the major contributors to the success of SMASIS. Finally, we have received generous support

from our sponsor/exhibitors: New York University/Abu Dhabi, Polytec, IOP Publishing, and

Dynalloy, all of which is sincerely appreciated. Andy Sarles

We want to thank each of you for participating in this event and for coming back each year Technical Co-Chair
with your best work. To those of you we know personally, we look forward to seeing you

and to insightful technical discussions.
