WELCOME
The Asian-Pacific Network of Centers for Research in Smart Structure Technology (ANCRiSST) holds its 4th International Workshop on Advanced Smart Materials and Smart Structures Technologies (ANCRiSST 2008) at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan, during 24-25 June 2008.
The consortium of research centers was established in 2002 and currently consists of 16 research institutions.The JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) 157th Committee on Structural Response Control hosts this Workshop with the financial support of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
The purpose of the Workshop is to assess the current progress of smart materials and structures technology and to develop synergies among research projects that cannot be easily carried out by the individual centers. In addition, focus will be placed on the integration of reserch and education to
1) Better educate the next generation of engineers toward maximizing advantages offerd by smart atructures technology
2) To provide continued professional development for practicing engineers.
