--------------------------------------------------------------------- CONFERENCE OVERVIEW ---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Sixth International Conference on Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation (REV 2009) will be held on June 22-25, 2009 at the University of Bridgeport, Bridgeport, Connecticut, U.S.A.

REV 2009 is the sixth in a series of annual events addressing the area of remote engineering and virtual instrumentation. Previous editions of REV were organized in the form of an international symposium, and evolved in 2007 to be the annual conference of the International Association of Online Engineering. The general objective of this conference is to discuss fundamentals, applications and experiences within the field of online engineering, both in industry and academia. REV 2009 offers an exciting technical program as well as academic networking opportunities during the social events.

Scope of the conference:

Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation are emerging trends in engineering and science. Due to:

o The increasing complexity of engineering tasks o The availability of specialized and expensive equipment as well as software tools and simulators o The need for highly qualified staff to control equipment o The demands of globalization

The general objective of this conference is to discuss fundamentals, applications and experiences in the field of remote engineering and virtual instrumentation. It is becoming increasingly necessary to allow the shared use of equipment and specialized software. The use of virtual and remote laboratories is one of the future directions for advanced teleworking, remote services, collaborative research and e-working environments.

Another objective of the conference is to discuss guidelines for education in university level courses. The organizers encourage industry personnel to present their experiences and applications of remote engineering and virtual instruments.

This conference will be organized by the School of Engineering at the University of Bridgeport.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

o Virtual and remote laboratories o Remote process visualization and virtual Instrumentation o Remote control and measurement technologies o Online engineering o Networking and grid technologies o Mixed Reality environments for education and training o Demands in education and training, e-learning, b-learning, m-learning and ODL o Teleservice and telediagnosis o Telerobotics and telepresence o Support of collaborative work in virtual engineering environments o Teleworking environments o Telecommunities and their social impact o Present and future trends including social and educational aspects o Human computer interfaces, usability, reusability,accessibility o Applications and experiences o Standards and standardization proposals o Innovative organizational and educational concepts for remote engineering

The REV 2009 Conference is soliciting manuscripts which address the various challenges and paradigms in this technological world through research and instructional programs in Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation. Suggested conference session topics are listed above. Other innovations in course and laboratory experiences are also most welcome for submission.
