Industry leaders from across MEMS supply chain to provide insight on critical issues, enabling technologies and market demand for more intelligent sensor and control applications 

CARY, North Carolina – October 18, 2011 – Coventor^®, Inc., the leading supplier of software for developing micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), to participate in industry panel on “MEMS Sensor Fusion/Sensor Networks” at MEMS Executive Congress 2011, an annual executive forum promoting the commercialization of MEMS to be held November 2^nd and 3^rd in Monterey, California.

MEMS devices are being integrated with integrated circuits (ICs) in ever-increasing heterogeneous environments that combine data, software and processing from different sensors to enable complex embedded system applications. This trend in MEMS ‘sensor fusion’ and MEMS-enabled networks is becoming more relevant across a myriad of applications and markets, including healthcare, consumer, automotive and industrial.

Organized by the MEMS Industry Group (MIG), a distinguished panel of industry executives and technologists from Cougaar Software, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, INOVA Geophysical and Novatel Wireless will share their vision for the future of sensor fusion and the role that MEMS will play. Coventor’s President and CEO Michael Jamiolkowski will moderate the interactive discussion on critical business and technology issues affecting MEMS systems integration. Specifically, the expert panelists will speak to how companies can leverage sensor fusion while meeting aggressive product cost, power and performance goals; the role of software in enabling numerous MEMS devices in one package to create more ‘intelligent’ sensor networks and other sensing control applications; and the impact of sensor technology innovation on the information infrastructure and society of the future.

Sponsored by STMicroelectronics, the “MEMS Sensor Fusion/Sensor Networks” panel will take place on Thursday, November 3, 2011 at 1:45 pm in the Cypress Ballroom of the Monterey Plaza Resort & Spa.
