CALL FOR PAPERS
Following the success of the first two editions of IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for Aerospace (MetroAeroSpace), it was considered convenient to promote a third edition of this event, which aims at reinforcing and supporting the collaborations among people working in developing instrumentation and measurement methods for aerospace.
This new edition will keep pursuing the state of the art and practice started over the past years. Attention is paid, but not limited to, new technology for metrology-assisted production in aerospace industry, aircraft component measurement, sensors and associated signal conditioning for aerospace, and calibration methods for electronic test and measurement for aerospace.
The program is designed to raise the interest of a wide group of researchers, operators and decision-makers from metrology and aerospace fields, by presenting the most innovative solutions in this field from the scientific and technological point of view.
TOPICS
- Electronic instrumentation for aerospace,
- Automatic test equipment for aerospace,
- Sensors and sensor systems for aerospace applications,
- Wireless sensor networks in aerospace,
- Attitude- and heading-reference systems,
- Monitoring systems in aerospace,
- Metrology for navigation and precise positioning.
Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the Workshop and the proceedings will be submitted for indexing in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
IMPORTANT DATES
- January 22, 2016 - Submission of Extended Abstract
- April 15, 2016 - Notification of Acceptance
- May 22, 2016 - Submission of Final Paper

CALL FOR PAPERS for the Special Session on METEOROLOGICAL SENSORS AND SENSOR SYSTEM FOR FLIGHT SUPPORT
This special session has the main goal to represent the innovative research developed in the framework of the meteorological sensors and systems supporting pilots, watchtower and flight management systems through an increasing awareness of the meteorological conditions during the different phases of the flight (from taxing and take off up to descent and landing). Knowledge of the meteorological conditions includes not only measurements of the present weather conditions and, more specifically measurements of the features of the hazardous meteorological events affecting aerospace vehicles, but also their forecast on different time ranges (from nowcasting to short and medium range).
TOPICS
- Definition and design of sensors, considering all the platform nowadays available (as satellite, radar, on board and in situ) for the measurements of the weather conditions during the different flight phases.
- Implementation of innovative systems, integrating multi-platform data (numerical models for weather prediction and sensors), to optimize flight trajectory and supporting pilot during the different flight phases.
- Implementation of tools with adequate accuracy, permitting the identification, measurements and tracking of aviation hazardous weather conditions.
Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the Workshop and the proceedings will be submitted for indexing in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
CHAIR
Paola Mercogliano, Italian Aerospace Research Center - C.I.R.A., Italy
Besides the Workshop, participants will enjoy staying in the historical city of Florence with different touristic tours available each day and the opportunity to extend their visit spending also the weekend in Florence and Tuscany Region.
Famous for its history, Florence is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance. Appreciated by millions of tourists from all over the world for its cuture, architecture and monuments, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982.
