I am very much interested in the following topic: "Intelligent Devices for the on-line and Real-time Monitoring and Diagnosis of Machining Processes". Does anybody know about currently running or finished projects on that in the fields of MEMS or MST? Who of the MST/MEMS community is working on those problems and can offer solutions with the help of MEMS or MST technologies? Who is interested in cooperations in a thematic network to that point? Please answer immediately. Every hints and contributions are highly welcome. Alfons Botthof VDI/VDE-Technologiezentrum Informationstechnik GmbH Dept.
