Special Section on Recent Development of Electro-Mechanical Devices - Selected Papers from International Session on Electro-Mechanical Devices 2004 (IS-EMD2004) -

Recent electronic devices and systems have been making great progress in, for example, digitizing, downsizing and high signal-rate transmission. For such devices and systems, electro-mechanical devices including electrical contacts as well as electrical and optical signal interconnections are fundamental and critical technical fields and have been continuously improved. Furthermore, in accordance with technical progress from microelectronics such as MEMS to nano-scale electronics, as well as progress in automotive electronics and DC power distribution, fundamental researches and R&D activities in new aspects for these devises and technologies are being intensively conducted. For environment aspects, developments and researches on Pb-free and Cd-free contact and interconnection materials have been strongly required. Recycle, reuse, and reduce techniques are also important issues for electro-mechanical devices. Under these circumstances, in order to stimulate R&D activities on the related fields, the International Session on Electro-Mechanical Devices (IS-EMD) has been annually held since 2001, and the Special Section on the IEICE Transactions has been published. The 17th International Session on EMD (IS-EMD2017) will be held in the University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo, Japan on November 2017, and the Special Section on “Recent Development of Electro-Mechanical Devices” will be published on September 2018. For this Special Section, not only those authors who will present their works at IS-EMD2017 but all other authors in the related fields are prompted to submit their papers.
