CONFERENCE INFORMATION
The 11th international conference on
measurement – MEASUREMENT 2017 was held from 29 to 31 May, 2017 in
the Congress Center of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in the
Smolenice castle. The main organizer of the event was the Institute
of Measurement Science, Slovak Academy of Sciences and the
co-organizer was the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and
Information Technology, Slovak University of Technology in
Bratislava. Technical sponsors were The Czechoslovak Section of
IEEE, Slovak IMEKO technical committees TC7 and TC13, Slovak
Metrological Society, Slovak National Committee U.R.S.I. and Slovak
Society of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Informatics.
The conference is organized regularly since 1997 in two-year periods and is traditionally devoted to three main topics: theoretical problems of measurement, measurement of physical quantities and measurement in biomedicine. Also this time the subjects of individual contributions within this topics were related to wide range of problems of measurement science from the metrological problems, definitions of main units and estimation of measurement uncertainties in special cases, through the design of new measuring methods and protocols, up to the development of special measuring systems for applications in electrical, mechanical, and power engineering, biology and medicine.
More than 70 registered participants from 11 countries (Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, and Ukraine) participated in the conference this year.
The oral sessions were opened by
three overview lectures devoted to the main conference topics. Dr.
Chunovkina (Russia) presented a paper on m
All other oral and poster presentations were selected during a reviewing process where each paper was evaluated by two or three reviewers. Selected 30 oral and 29 poster presentations were organized in 8 oral and 2 poster sessions.
Also during this conference the
Young Investigator Award competition of young scientists took place
and the best oral and poster presentation was selected. The aim of
the competition was to promote active participation and publications
of young researchers in measurement science. This year the share of
young conference participants was quite high and 18 authors
submitted their contributions to the competition. The papers were
evaluated by seven members of an international jury and the winners
obtained small gifts from the Czechoslovak IEEE section and were
offered to publish their contributions in extended form in the
impacted web-based open access journal Measurement Science Review.
The winner in category of oral presentations was Mohamed F. Issa
from Hungary; the best poster was presented by Orest Kochan from
Ukraine.
Printed conference proceedings were
presented to all participants during the conference; electronic
versions of the papers are available in IEEE Xplore and Scopus, and
for the conference participants also on the conference web page.
Selected papers in extended form will be published after successful
review in the journal Measurement Science Review.
Besides the scientific program, the participants could join a bus trip to the historical city of Trnava which is the seventh largest town in Slovakia, lying near Smolenice or enjoy a hiking tour in Little Carpathians to the top of Záruby (768 m) and back to the Smolenice castle. The social program of the conference included also a welcome dinner with music performance of the Róbert Ragan trio, barbeque in the castle courtyard connected with tasting of selected sorts of white, rose and red wines from the Little Carpathian region.
