For the first time there will be an international workshop track during SPS/IPC DRIVES 2007, held on Wednesday 28 November in Nuremberg. With 13 English talks this track will discuss the key success factors for engineering in high wage countries, since efficiency in automation is the key to future success.
Highlights will be sessions that cover two European projects, which will present the latest results and new proposals. for engineering in automation using reuse and modularity, as well as distributed smart systems, particularly in communication technology.
