A Note from the Director

Dear VSR visitor:

Thank you for visiting our website.   We are proud to present the results of our work for the past year in this complete technical report.   The VSR Team has worked extremely hard in the past year to push the envelope in an area of research that, we at VSR, believe will have a significant impact on how products are designed, the reduction of physical prototypes, and shortening the time to market. 

We believe that our contributions to date have only scratched the surface of an enormous and very substantial field, we nevertheless are confident that only through a truly multi-disciplinary approach that such goals can be met.

The material in these reports are copyrighted by the University of Iowa rules and regulations, however, we encourage anyone interested in this area of research to contact us to explore collaborations in this new and exciting field.

Sincerely,

Karim Abdel-Malek, PhD
Director, VSR
