The submission deadline is 28 February 2011.
The world as we know today has changed drastically over a short span of time and will continue to do so. Cyber warfare, the tension in the Korean peninsular, the built up of defence firepower in China, are some of the new challenges that has placed tremendous pressure on nations and governments to increase spending on defence-related research work. Defence spending has not just doubled but quadrupled over the last year. But at the same time, there are reductions in troop size. This could only mean that technology has to be utilized to substantiate the reduction and increase the capability of each soldier.
To keep abreast with such rapid developments, the inaugural Defence Science Research Conference and Expo (DSR 2011), is conceived to serve as the platform for like-minded academics, researchers, and practitioners to meet, share and exchange their expertise.
DSR 2011 is about the research and applications of science, innovation and technology developed in the field of defence. Defence research and development encompasses the fields of aeronautics, advanced computing, bioengineering, combat vehicles, naval systems, simulation, life sciences ... and the list goes on. And similar technologies developed in these fields are applied and used in our daily civilian lives. Thus, DSR 2011 seeks not just to showcase the latest researches that are beneficial to defence science development, but would also explore unclassified research works which may be applicable and beneficial to civilians. This is not just another military-defence conference, but one which is applicable to both militaries and civilians.
DSR-2011 will be held from 3-6 August 2011. This event is organized by the Mixed Reality Lab and the Social Robotics Lab from the National University of Singapore.
Our confirmed plenary speakers includes:
1. 1. Silvana Koch-Mehrin, Vice President of the European Parliament
2. 2. Martin Cole, Chief of CSIRO Food and Nutritional Science, Australia
3. 3. P.Gopalakrishnakone, Dep of Anatomy & Venom and Toxin Research, National University of Singapore
4. 4. Penny Low, Member of Parliment, Singapore, Founder and President of Social Innovation Park Ltd
5. 5. Peter Martini, Director of Fraunhofer-Institut, University of Bonn, Germany
We would like to invite you to submit your paper for the DSR-2011 Conference. As the spectrum covered by the defence industry is wide, we have narrowed the topics covered in this event into 10 main themes:
1. 1. 1. Healthcare in Defence
2. 2. Bioengineering in Defence
3. 3. Cyber Defence
4. 4. Logistics & Transport
5. 5. Technology
6. 6. Aerospace & Aeronautics
7. 7. Entertianment Technologies
8. 8. Biological Sciences
9. 9. Food Science & Technology
10. 10. Environment
