Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).These are the proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing Technology and Systems (AMTS 2012), held on the 17th April 2012 in Wuhan, China. They cover the most recent developments in advanced manufacturing technology and systems. Researchers and practitioners share ideas and experiences regarding advanced manufacturing technology and systems. The 77 technical papers were selected by peer-review from over three times that many submissions. Their topics include an enhanced-resolution three-dimensional transformation method based the on discrete wavelet transform, an experimental study of micro-electrochemical milling with a side-insulated electrode, evaluating an automobile fault diagnosis system, measuring the energy consumption of cranes and designing energy saving devices, and the parameter model and the non-parameter model of magneto-rheological dampers in suspension.
