Guest Editorial: Selected papers from ICASI 2016

Abstract

The IEEE 2016 International Conference on Applied
System Innovation (IEEE ICASI 2016) was held in
Okinawa, Japan on May 27~31, 2016, and provided a
unified communication platform for researchers in area
of topics from innovation design, communication
science & engineering, industrial design, computer
science, electrical & electronic engineering,
mechanical & automation engineering. Mechanical
Engineering and Design Innovations are both an
academic and practical engineering field that involves
systematic technological materialization through
scientific principles and engineering designs.
Technological innovation by Mechanical Engineering
includes IT-based Intelligent Mechanical Systems,
Mechanics and Design Innovations. IT-based
Intelligent Mechanical Systems, which implant
intelligence to machine systems, is an interdisciplinary
area combining conventional mechanical technology
and new information technology. The main goal of this
special issue “Selected papers from ICASI 2016” is to
publish research results in “Applied System
Innovation”. The ultimate aim is to discover new
scientific knowledge relevant to IT-based Intelligent
Mechanical Systems, Mechanics and Design
Innovations.
