- India International Symposium on Trends and Future Requirements in Automotive Electronics
-
Sep 3, 2008 - Sep 3, 2008,
Bangalore International Exhibition Centre, Bangalore, Karnataka IndiaThe Indian automotive market is one of the biggest growth markets of the next decade. More and more Indians, especially in the large
agglomerations, profit from the buzzing economy in their country and invest in a vehicle. As a consequence, the traditional Indian car
and motorbike manufacturers, their international homologues and the worldwide active suppliers look forward to a continued rise of
their sales.
Where is this market headed technologically? Even small cars are equipped with more and more electronic systems, as the need for preserving
the environment and saving fuel is universal – as is the interest of car owners in new technologies, be it with respect to comfort,
security or information and communication. This symposium will give insight into automotive electronics in the Indian perspective, i.e.
the technical, but probably also the socio-economic trends that are intrinsically tied to the world of modern mobility. Presentations may
represent advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis or empirical evaluation of automotive electronics. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
• Components and systems for enhanced safety
• Components and systems relating to comfort
• Infotainment and telematics
• Novel propulsion & fuel concepts / hybrid solutions
• Motor management / fuel efficiency / eco-friendliness
• Powertrain electronics
• Bus systems and programming issues
• On- and off-board diagnostics

- Imaging War: Intergenerational Perspectives
-
Sep 3, 2008 - Sep 7, 2008,
Klosterhotel Vadstena SwedenClosing dates of applications as well as for abstracts: 2008-06-11.
We have entered a time of highly technological warfare, where over half of the world’s research and development is now military and an ongoing revolution in military affairs (RMA) is changing the rules and weapons that will be used to define our common futures in a global society. Yet most of the public are getting their information on the implications of these developments, not from learned scientific or technological treatise but from the media, film, literature, computer games and simulations. The way that war is imaged varies considerably between artists, scientists, urban geographers, media theorists and indeed between generations.
Given the controversies which form our daily news about the “War on Terror” and the projected need to give up our traditional human rights and civil liberties, it is essential that we understand the role of the war imagers and their critics. There are many lenses to tell the story, including political, PR and weapons procurement; media journalism (which leaves out as much as it includes), games, stories, and literature. This conference will explore what these various cultures are saying to each other and how organised knowledge systems, scenarios and stories are used to legitimate or deconstruct new paradigms on war and its consequences.
The conference seeks to explore dissonance and common ground between the image builders and the image consumers; the weapons manufacturers and the story tellers; the politicians and the children. Given its timeliness and originality, we anticipate a wide audience for such an event and are seeking to include as many of the relevant dimensions of the topic as possible. We also wish to encourage different generations to participate. - full details

- JK Galbraith Conference
-
Sep 3, 2008 - Sep 4, 2008,
Cardiff University Cardiff, Wales, United KingdomThis conference aims to explore and analyse Galbraith’s contribution from the perspective of the historian. The focus will not be so much on an assessment of Galbraith as an economist but on questions about his role in influencing the development of economics over time, about why his perspective generated (and still generates) controversy, about the philosophies and traditions it draws upon, about his part in the Keynesian revolution and the development of a post-Keynesian analysis, about the value of his work in assisting our understanding of advanced capitalist societies in the second half of the twentieth century, about his relationship with Liberalism and the Left in the USA and the UK. How valid was Galbraith’s analysis of post-war society, and of the connections between the modern corporation and the ‘military-industrial complex’ identified, respectively, in The Affluent Society, The New Industrial State, and Economics and the Public Purpose?

- Networks of Design Conference 2008
-
Sep 3, 2008 - Sep 6, 2008,
University College Falmouth Cornwall, England, United KingdomNetworks of Design responds to recent academic interest in the fields of design history, technology and the social sciences in the ‘networks’ of interactions that inform knowledge formation and design. Studying networks foregrounds infrastructure, negotiations, processes, strategies of interconnection, and the heterogeneous relationships between people and things.
Within the wider context of post-modernism and post-structuralism we are, it seems, experiencing a paradigm shift in design history and this conference offers an opportunity to address, explore and assess that shift, providing a platform for international debate and exchange.
The interest in networks emerges from actor-network theory (ANT) and the work of, among others, the social theorist Bruno Latour. While the conference will explore the wider implications of ANT for design history, rather than focus on detailed discussion of ANT (although this may feature in some of the strands), a brief outline of Latour’s theory contextualises the conference structure and themes. A network, in Latour’s view, involves a set of negotiations in which both human and non-human actors assume identities according to prevailing strategies of interaction. The study of networks raises the challenge of understanding processes of mediation as interactions; humans are not the only beings with agency (matter also matters) and networks can include people, social groups, artifacts, devices, entities and ideas. - full details

- Aluminium and Silicon in Soils and the Environment
-
Sep 3, 2008 - Sep 5, 2008,
Macaulay Institute Aberdeen, Scotland United KingdomThe mineralogy and chemistry of aluminium and silicon in soils and the wider landscape is important in the context of many of the process that are key to the environmental functions that soils perform. These include sustainable soil fertility, soil and water acidification and the genesis of soil types. This meeting focuses on the movement, distribution and fate of aluminium and silicon within the pedosphere and the wider environment, the processes and products involved and the ways in which these can be effectively characterized. Of particular interest are the nature and rates of the chemical and biological processes involved in the release of these elements from primary soil minerals, their incorporation into secondary mineral products, their uptake by plants and their removal from the soil in solution or colloidal transport to the wider landscape. The meeting is being held to commemorate the life and work of V. C. Farmer who during his career at the Macaulay Institute made major contributions to our understanding of the mineralogy and chemistry of aluminium and silicon in soils, as well as pioneering the use of infrared spectroscopy in the identification, characterization and reactivity of the amorphous or poorly crystalline secondary minerals involved.
