Welcome address from the Chairman:On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite you to participate in the International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology, China 2009 (ChinaNANO 2009) which will be held between September 1-3, 2009 in Beijing, China. This is the third conference following ChinaNANO 2005 and ChinaNANO 2007 held in 2005 and in 2007 in Beijing, respectively.

    根据中国力学学会第八届理事会第4次全体常务理事会关于同意设立“微纳米力学工作组”和“电子电磁器件力学工作组”的决议，日前，以郑泉水为组长的“微纳米力学工作组”和以王骥为组长的“电子电磁器件力学工作组”的2个工作组已正式设立，其工作组成员名单也一并讨论通过。 

After the success of the inaugural conference, the purpose of the 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Robotics and Applications (16 - 18 December, 2009, Orchard Hotel, Singapore) is to provide a venue where researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the world can come together to present and discuss the latest achievement, future challenges and exciting applications of intelligent and autonomous robots.

In this paper, an overview of the development of prediction study on the thermal fatigue life of electronic packages is presented, including theore-tical and experimental aspects as well as failure mechanism analysis. A pro-phecy on the research trend in this area is suggested.

University of Illinois Urbana Champaign(Written by InterNano): Reseachers affiliated with Nano-CEMMS at UIUC and Purdue University have created high-performance Nanonet circuits with many potential areas of application in electronics.

The realization of stretchability in electronics is expected to open up the possibility of many new applications ranging from long-term bionic implants and limbs to robotic sensory skins, ubiquitous electronic displays, and large-area electronics. One of the most difficult hurdles in the development of stretchable electronics is the simultaneous achievement of excellent mechanical robustness and electronic performance.

The 2008 International Conference on Intelligent Robotics and Applications (ICIRA 2008) was the first event in this conference series.  It was advocated by the International Workshop on Robotic Grasping and Fixturing in June 2007, Wuhan, China. Robotics research, however, involves a wide spectrum of research and applications from the first industrial manipulator to Mars rovers, and from surgery robotics to cognitive robotics. Industrial and real-world applications are the force driving the research frontier further forward.

Nanomanufacturing is the controllable manipulation of materials structures, components, devices, and systems at the nanoscale (1 to 100 nanometers) in one, two, and three dimensions for large-scale reproducibility of value-added components and devices. Nanomanufacturing remains the essential bridge between the discoveries of the nanosciences and real-world nanotechnology products.
