The field has rapidly matured due to synergistic int erdisciplinary efforts across sectors of universities\, government\, and i ndustry. To continue the high impact growth of this field and lead it into the future\, the purpose of this conference is to assemble world experts across engineering and scientific disciplines (mechanical\, aerospace\, el ectrical\, materials\, and civil engineering\, biology\, physics chemistry \, etc.) to actively discuss the latest breakthroughs in smart materials\, the cutting edge in adaptive structure applications and the recent advanc es in both new device technologies and basic engineering research explorat ion.\n\nSMASIS attracts approximately 300 attendees each year with over 25 0 technical presentations. The conference is divided into symposia broadly ranging from basic research to applied technological design and developme nt to industrial and governmental integrated system and application demons trations. The symposia specifically are:\n\n\n \n SYMP 1 Development and C haracterization of Multifunctional Materials\n \n \n SYMP 2 Mechanics & \; Behavior of Active Materials\n \n \n SYMP 3 Modeling\, Simulation and C ontrol of Adaptive Systems\n \n \n SYMP 4 Integrated System Design and Imp lementation\n \n \n SYMP 5 Structural Health Monitoring\n \n \n SYMP 6 Bio inspired Smart Materials and Systems\n \n \n SYMP 7 Energy Harvesting\n \n \n\nASME is soliciting papers for each of the symposiums. Papers accepted and presented will be published in the official conference proceedings. Th e conference includes keynote presentations\, invited speaker presentation s in each symposium\, several student and outreach activities\, pioneer ba nquet\, awards ceremony\, several networking opportunities\, and exhibitor s from industry.\n\nAbout SMASIS:\n\nSMASIS is a leading conference on ada ptive structures and materials systems that attracts approximately 300 att endees each year with over 250 technical presentations. The conference pro vides a unique forum bringing together scientists\, faculty and graduate s tudents from Mechanical\, Aerospace\, Electrical and Civil Engineering\, M aterials Science\, and Mathematics whose research spans topics in adaptive structures and smart material systems. The conference is divided into sev en symposia broadly ranging from basic research to applied technological d esign and development to industrial and governmental integrated system and application demonstrations. Papers accepted and presented will be publish ed in the official conference proceedings. The conference includes keynote presentations\, invited speaker presentations in each symposium\, several student and outreach activities\, pioneer banquet\, awards ceremony\, sev eral networking opportunities\, and exhibition from industry.\n\nAbout ASM E: \n\nASME is a not-for-profit membership organization that enables coll aboration\, knowledge sharing\, career enrichment\, and skills development across all engineering disciplines\, toward a goal of helping the global engineering community develop solutions to benefit lives and livelihoods. Founded in 1880 by a small group of leading industrialists\, ASME has grow n through the decades to include more than 140\,000 members in 151 countri es.\n\nFor more than 100 years\, ASME has successfully enhanced performanc e and safety worldwide through its renowned codes and standards\, conformi ty assessment programs\, training courses\, and journals.\n\nASME also pro duces nearly 40 international conferences. These industry-leading events f eature advanced research and technical content spanning a range of industr ies impacted by mechanical engineering\, including energy production\, ene rgy sources\, advanced manufacturing\, and engineering sciences.

Af ter exploring\, unwind in your spacious guestroom\, with a location in the heart of the San Antonio's historic downtown.\n\nWhat Makes Your Stay Gra nd?\n\n\n \n Location\, location\, location: Moments from top San Antonio attractions and a variety of restaurants\n \n \n 1\,003 updated guestrooms and suites with downtown views\n \n \n Swim with a view: Bask in the sun within our heated rooftop pool\n \n \n State-of-the-art fitness center: Ev erything you need for a workout\, including cardio equipment\, weights\, a nd a yoga room\n \n\n\nReservations:\n\n\n \n Rates - $239* Single/Double\ n \n \n Reservation Deadline - August 17\, 2018\n \n \n *Room rates are qu oted exclusive of applicable state and local taxes (which are currently 16 .75%) or applicable service\, or hotel specific fees in effect at the Hote l at the time of the meeting. Cancellation Policy: 72 hours prior to arriv al date\, after which one night room and tax deposit is non-refundable. If you would like to call in your reservation\, call +1-888-421-1442 and use the code: G-SME8\, PM# 9037.\n \n \n Hotel Parking - Self: $29\, Valet: $39\n \n\n\n​Why should I stay at the ASME Conference headquarter hotel \, the Grand Hyatt San Antonio\, when I may be able to find a lower one on my own?\n\nNegotiated hotel rates incorporate many benefits for you and A SME. In order to secure meeting rooms space at the Grand Hyatt San Antoni o\, ASME must sign a contract with the host city that guarantees that a sp ecified number of hotel rooms will be booked by our conference attendees. The number of rooms guaranteed is called the room block. As the number of rooms in the room block increases\, costs to ASME decrease\, which we are able to pass along to our conference attendees in the form of lower regist ration prices.\n\nIf attendees stay in the host hotel\, ASME will fulfill its contractual obligation with the Hotel. If attendees stay in other hote ls\, ASME faces the possibility that its room block will not be met\, forc ing it to pay severe penalties\, which can run into tens of thousands of d ollars.\n SUMMARY:ASME 2018 Conference on Smart Materials\, Adaptive Structures and I ntelligent Systems (SMASIS) BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:DISPLAY TRIGGER:-P6D SUMMARY:Alarm notification END:VALARM BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:DISPLAY TRIGGER:-P SUMMARY:Alarm notification END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
