The symposium will present recent scientific and technological results on all aspects of the theory, design, fabrication and application of sensor and micromechanical systems, and promote exchange of ideas and techniques among the scientists. This year, there will be four organized sessions on special topics: 1)Networked Sensing, 2)Environmental Sensor, 3)Nanofabrication, 4)Bio-microsystem.


Japanese and English are to be used in the presentations. Symposium proceedings will be published in English.


Accepted papers are to be presented in Oral or Poster presentations.
Presenters may use Japanese or English for presentation.

Oral Presentation: Authors will have 20 minutes for oral presentation including 5 minute discussion with audience. Presentation rooms will be provided with overhead projector and PC projector.

Poster Presentation: Authors are to present their papers as posters. During poster session, authors are to stand by their posters to have discussion with audience.


Igarashi award is presented to the young researchers aged 35 years or younger at the time of Symposium.


Authors wishing to present a paper at the symposium should submit the following materials. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference.

1)4 copies of an abstract, with a title and a summary not exceeding 500 words on one page. For figures you may use the other side. Please type your abstract on A4 size or the legal letter size paper. Explain originality and usefulness of your work. Names and affiliations of authors should not appear on the abstract.

2)1 copy of application form containing the following information
1. title of the paper
2. names of all authors
3. name and date of birth of the presenter (required for screening purpose of the Igarashi Award*)
