1.0 BACKGROUND

The DAAAM International was founded and based on the idea and initiative of Professor B. Katalinic, on November 5th, 1990 at the Vienna Symposium, which was organised in order to mark the 175th anniversary of the Vienna University of Technology. The purpose of DAAAM International is to provide a world forum for engineers, scientists and industrial managers to present and discuss the current status and impact of advanced manufacturing and automation. During the last twenty years, the activities of DAAAM International have been supported by scientists and experts from over fifty countries all over the world. In the course of the last decade, DAAAM International has focused activities on the regional and global long-term co-operation between (technical) universities. The result of this initiative is the founding of the University Network of DAAAM International Vienna and DAAAM International Network for Advanced Technologies which was founded on 2002-10-25 in Vienna.

I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the
human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some
creation of the brain unfolding to success... such emotions
make a
man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.
