Announcement
The automobile of the future has to meet two primary requirements: the super-efficient use of energy and power and the ultra-safe transportation of people and goods. Both features are growingly enabled by smart, adaptive and context aware ICT components and systems rather than by the mechanical means of classic automotive engineering alone. The most advanced case of this trend is the electrified vehicle combining a full electric power train with completely electronic controls like smart power and energy managers, steer by wire technologies and intelligent networking capabilities. It can be foreseen that beyond being beneficial for climate protection the electrified vehicle will contribute to a further reduction of road accidents and traffic deaths. Moreover, it will revolutionize the way a car is manufactured: the change of engineering focus from mechanics to information technology will make it easier than ever before to deliver cars individually configured to customer demands. It has been the mission of the International Forum on Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Applications (AMAA) for more than twelve years now to detect paradigm shifts like these and to discuss the technological implications from early on. Therefore, the topic of the AMAA 2010 will be “Smart Systems for Green Cars and Safe Mobility”.
With this Call for Papers all experts from industry and academia are strongly encouraged to submit proposals for papers addressing ongoing research and novel developments in the field of ICT components and systems enabling the automobile and road transport of the future. Discussions at the conference will particularly focus on the application areas mentioned below. We are looking forward to receiving your proposal, and to meeting you for an inspiring conference in May 2010.

Abstract Submission
A proposal for presentation of a paper at the 14th AMAA should be submitted in the form of an abstract (not exceeding one page) to the AMAA Office by 10 January. The selection process involving the AMAA Steering Committee will be finished by mid-January 2010. Authors of accepted papers will be informed immediately.
Conference Book
As in previous years, selected papers will appear in the AMAA Conference Book published worldwide by Springer prior to the conference. Manuscripts should be submitted on request by the AMAA Office by 15 February 2010.
Exhibitor Information
The exhibition is an integral part of the AMAA. On both conference days, companies will be given the opportunity to present new products and services as well as novel technologies to an international expert audience representing automakers, suppliers and academia. Prototype vehicles can be shown at a parking lot nearby the venue.
Matchmaking Service
To support bilateral interaction a pre-arranged meeting service will be offered at the AMAA 2010. Interested participants will have the opportunity to identify potential partners for collaboration and business during the conference. Meetings will take place in a quiet lounge area. The formation of consortia for European FP7 projects, particularly for the European Green Cars Initiative will be facilitated.
Side Events
Complementary to the AMAA conference programme, satellite meetings will be held, e.g. working gorup meetings of the European TEchnology Platform on Smart Systems Integration.
