The 2nd International Conference on Computer Science and Mechanical Automation carried on the success from last year and received overwhelming support from the research community as evidenced by the number of high quality submissions. The conference accepted articles through rigorous peer review process. We are grateful to the contributions of all the authors. For those who have papers appear in this collection, we thank you for your great effort that makes this conference a success and the volume of this proceeding worth reading. For those whose papers were not accepted, we assure you that your support is very much appreciated. The papers in this proceeding represent a broad spectrum of research topics and reveal some cutting-edge developments.

cover image processing, speech recognition, sound event recognition, music classification, collaborative learning, e-government, as well as a variety of emerging new areas of applications. Some of these papers are especially eye-opening and worth reading.

cover mostly navigation systems, unmanned air vehicles, satellites, geographic information systems, and all kinds of sensors that are related to location, position, and other geographic information. The articles in Chapter 4 are about sensors and instruments that are used in areas like temperature and humidity monitoring, medical instruments, biometric sensors, and other sensors for security applications. Some of these papers are concerned about highly critical systems such as nuclear environmental monitoring and object tracking for satellite videos.

Chapter 5 and 6 contain papers in the areas of mechatronics and electrical engineering. The articles in Chapter 5 cover mostly mechanical design for a variety of equipment, such as space release devices, box girder, shovel loading machines, suspension cables, grinding and polishing machines, gantry milling machines, clip type passive manipulator, hot runner systems, water hydraulic pump/motor, and turbofan engines. The articles in Chapter 6 focus on mechanical and automation devices in power systems as well as automobiles and motorcycles.

This collection of research papers showcases the incredible accomplishments of the authors. In the meantime, they once again prove that the International Conference on Computer Science and Mechanical Automation is a highly valuable platform for the research community to share ideas and knowledge. Organization of an international conference is a huge endeavor that demands teamwork. We very much appreciate everyone who is involved in the organization, especially the reviewers. We are looking forward to another successful conference next year.

Professor James Daniel Turner

College of Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Texas A&M University (TAMU), America Dr. James Daniel Turner is a research professor in College of Engineering, Texas A&M University (TAMU) from 2006 to current. In 1974, he received his B.S. degree in Engineering Physics in George Mason University. In 1976, he received his M.E. degree in Engineering Physics, University of Virginia. And he received his Ph.D. Degree from Engineering Science and Mechanics, Virginia Tech in 1980.

He has broad experience in public, private, and acedemic settings for working with advanced engineering and scientific concepts that are developed from first principles; modeled and simulated to understand the limits of performance; developed as hardware proto-types; tested in operationally relevant environments; and transitioned through partnering with industry and government to missions of critical national interest. Dr. James Daniel Turneris engaged in exploratory research where the goal is to transition aerospace analysis tools to bioinformatics. This research consists of applying multibody dynamics for drug design problems in computational chemistry, and most recently working with the immunological group at Mayo Clinic for exploring the development of generalized preditor-prey models for analyzing melenoma cancer in Human cell behaviors.
